How to play

The whole game is one loop. Each lap makes the next one pay more.

1. 1

   Mine

   Type /mine and your own mine opens. Mine it out; it refills by itself.

2. 2

   Sell

   Sell what you mine for money with /sellall.

3. 3

   Rank up

   Mining fills the green XP bar with Rank XP. When it's full you rank up, and your mine's blocks get richer.

4. 4

   Grow

   Spend money on a bigger, richer mine (/mine upgrade) and tokens on your pickaxe (/enchant).

5. 5

   Prestige

   Climb to rank 100, then prestige: back to rank 1, but everything pays more.

One rule ties them together: money grows your mine; tokens grow your pickaxe. Rank XP climbs ranks; gems come from the store. /balance shows yours.

• Gang Points are earned as your gang's members mine, and buy upgrades for the whole gang.
• Crate keys come from voting, missions, the pass and milestones. Each opens its crate.
• vKit shards come from /shop and crates. Five build a vKit for the season.

Gang Points and crate keys reset with the season, like money and tokens.

Your mine is yours alone: /mine takes you there. Its level is your rank, so each rankup makes its blocks richer at once. It refills by itself. Invite friends, or visit theirs, in /mines.

Upgrades cost money:

• Width: more blocks a layer.
• Depth: more layers.
• Richness: more for each block.

Skins change how your mine looks, never what it pays.

Your pickaxe can't be lost. Every block it breaks gives it XP, and its level unlocks new enchants and rune sockets. Right-click it, or type /enchant, to buy enchants with tokens.

• Fortune: more blocks each break.
• Token Finder: more tokens.
• Explosive, Laser and more break many blocks at once.

Changed your mind? Right-click an enchant to refund 70% of what it cost.

Runes are items you socket into your pickaxe for a bonus: more sell, more tokens or more procs. Sockets open at pickaxe levels 10, 35 and 70. Socket them in the Rune Forge: /runes.

• Socketing costs tokens and uses the rune up.
• Three runes of one kind and tier combine into the next tier, from I up to V.
• Runes come from mining, crates and /shop, and are sold for tokens on the auction house.

What a block pays you comes down to three things, each raised by different upgrades:

Boosts last a while: your own, from /shop and crates, and server boosters that lift everyone (/boosters). Yours wait in /boosts until you turn them on, and turning one off keeps the rest. /multipliers shows every one you have.

Ranks go from 1 to 100, paid in Rank XP. Auto-rankup spends it for you. At rank 100, /prestige takes you back to rank 1 with more sell and a perk point.

• Milestones pay keys and perk points (/milestones). Spend perk points in /perks.
• At prestige 100, /rebirth for much bigger multipliers. Rebirths are unlimited.
• /progress shows all of it.

Prestige Top, the season's race, ranks everyone by rebirths, then prestige, then rank.

Keys come from voting, missions, the pass, milestones, events and the Key Finder enchant. Open them in /crates, or at the crate yard by spawn.

• Every crate shows its exact odds in game: /crate preview, or right-click a crate in the yard. Rare rewards have pity: they come closer with each open that doesn't give one.
• Keys can be traded. They end with the season, so open them before it does.

The Season Pass is tiers of rewards, on a free track and a premium one. Earn Pass XP by mining by hand, ranking up and doing daily and weekly missions (/missions). Claim tiers in /pass. Premium adds gems, boosts and looks.

Autominers mine for you, online or not, while they have fuel. Your first slot comes at prestige 1, or with a store rank. Upgrade them with tokens: /autominer.

Kits are bundles you claim on a timer (/kits).

vKits: collect five shards of one, from /shop or crates, to build it, then claim it every day for the rest of the season (/vkit).

Join a gang by invite, or start one at rank 37 for $250,000 (/gang). Members share a token bank.

Members earn Gang Points as they mine. Gang Points buy upgrades for everyone and rank your gang on Gang Top. Nobody can put you in a gang: an invite only works if you click it.

Gems buy boosts, keys, kits, shards, mine skins and looks in /shop. Every price shows before you buy. Get gems at the store.

The store also sells ranks and Pickfall+: autosell, a bigger backpack and more. Ranks, Pickfall+, looks and mine skins bought with gems stay every season. Pickfall itself is free to play.

Turn money or tokens into a note (/withdraw) and drop it for a friend, who cashes it with /redeem.

The auction house (/ah) sells keys, vouchers and runes for tokens.

Events run through the day: mining contests, key rains, arena fights and more. /event shows what's on now and what's next.

A season lasts 8 to 12 weeks, then everyone starts again, so the whole server races from the same start.

• Kept for good: gems, store ranks, Pickfall+, unused boosts and autominer fuel, cosmetics, and mine skins bought with gems.
• Reset each season: rank, prestige, rebirth, money, tokens, Gang Points, your pickaxe and its enchants, autominers, crate keys and mine skins earned that season.

The final standings of every season that has ended are on past seasons.

• /help lists every command, and /tutorial shows the first steps again.
