    I am a new user, i have only been on for a few days and i have noticed there are not many ways to make money. And cocoa farming, one of the best ways I make money, is very boring. Could someone tell me other ways of making money except for farming/mining/sign shops? and if there isn't any other way of making good money on the server, could the staff add another way? Like making a parkour course where if you win you get cash prizes? Or maybe integrated a kit pvp system into ECC?

    Personally, I farm for money. I agree it is VERY boring, so I do other things while farming. For example, I like to watch tv/YouTube on my phone. Then I'm making money and not completely bored out of my mind :)

    Survival Games is now a good way to make money as well, since earnings have been tripled. I hear fishing can be profitable, although I have never tried this for myself.

    Overall, the key is patience. As people say, time is money. Players that have money spent plenty on time earning it.(Unless it's from lotto :p) Don't waste the money you make, and you'll be rich someday as long as you keep working. Mix up the ways you make your money, have fun with it, and keep your eyes on the prize, whether that be a feature, a rank, or anything else. Goodluck! Hope this helps :)

    Best ways to profit w/out star tools:

    MINING

    Mining with max fort: Up to 15k/hr, with pinhole method

    Mining with max silk: Up to 12k/hr (I believe)

    Grinding in Nether: Don't do this unless you have pyro+ and fly+

    FARMING

    Pumpkin Farming with /speed and barriers: Up to 19k/hr

    Traditional Pumpkin Farming: 12k/hr

    Semi-Auto Cocoa farming: 10k/hr

    Cocoa farming: 8k/hr

    All other types of farming are a waste of time

    FISHING

    Maxed rod: 5k-6k/hr

    Lemme know if I missed anything other than SG

    The Survival Games got quite a buff in cash output. Each kill is worth $450 and Ive seen people win over $10000 from a single SG for winning. Every kit is now available for use once every 3 hours to really help balance things out now. Just gotta watch out for all the people who work together. Make the final 3 and be 2v1 is aggravating to say the least lol. Also doesn't help that I'm bad at MC PvP.

    Other ways to make money are trading and auctioning stuff. You can scoop up good deals in an auction and with a bit of patience flip them in trade. You can setup your own store (not from the $5k a week spawn market) but in a town with a plot near a warp. Near a warp is key so it can be easilly found or nobody will come when you advertise it in chat. Your actually living in one of my towns Awesomeburg. If you want a plot for a shop, let me know. I actually have a small one I could give you directly beside the warp if you wanted to give it a go.

    Get perms to like a 200x400 or bigger farm and farm there. Leave all your chats and have Netflix or YouTube running next to minecraft.
