Economy Guide
Everything you need to know about earning, spending, and trading on INVO-ke Gaming.
💰 How to Earn Money
The server economy is item-based. You earn money by selling items you have gathered through mining, farming, trading, and adventuring. There are no daily login rewards or handouts — your wealth is tied to the work you put in.
The Basic Workflow
-
Gather valuable items.
Mine diamonds, farm crops, hunt mobs, or explore the End and Nether for high-value loot. -
Check what your items are worth.
Hold any item and run/worthto see its sell price before committing. -
Sell your items.
Hold an item and run/sell hand, or sell everything at once with/sell all. -
Check your balance.
Run/balanceto see your current funds. Pay other players with/pay <player> <amount>.
Always /worth an item before selling. Some items are worth far more than you would expect, and you do not want to accidentally craft a low-value item from high-value materials.

💡 Tips for Getting Rich
Mining Runs
Diamond mining at Y=-59 is the most reliable income source. A Fortune III pickaxe turns every diamond ore into 2–4 diamonds at $1,000 each. One good mining session can net you $20,000+.
Villager Trading
Set up a villager trading hall and convert cheap items into emeralds. With cured villagers offering 1-emerald trades, you can generate emeralds at $500 each with minimal effort.
Cherry Log Farming
Cherry logs sell at a premium ($8 each vs ~$2 for other logs). A well-designed cherry tree farm with auto-collection can produce hundreds of logs per harvest.
End Raiding
End cities contain elytra ($10,000 each) and shulker shells. The dragon egg from the first ender dragon kill is worth a staggering $50,000. High risk, massive reward.
Bulk Selling
Use /sell all after big gathering sessions. Iron from a mob grinder, gold from piglin bartering, and drops from mob farms all add up quickly.
Know When to Hold
Do not sell everything. Keep enough diamonds, iron, and emeralds for your own gear and builds. The richest players balance selling with stockpiling.
Combine strategies for maximum income. Mine diamonds, sell half, use the other half to enchant tools that let you mine faster. Reinvesting in your gear pays dividends.
