Overview

Last updated:

Oakheart uses an emerald-based economy with carefully controlled currency flow. Emeralds enter the economy through spawn shops and exit through various sinks, creating a balanced trading environment.

Earning Emeralds#

Spawn Shops#

The primary way to earn emeralds is by selling items at the five spawn shops. Each shop is run by a themed NPC:

Shop NPC What They Buy
Miner Stonebeard Ores, gems, stone, redstone
Lumberjack Willowbark Logs, sticks, apples
Farmer Seedsower Crops, honey, berries
Alchemist Moonwhisper Mob drops, brewing ingredients
Fisherman Tidecaller Fish, ocean treasures

Daily Trade Limits#

Each shop has per-player daily limits to control emerald generation. Limits reset at midnight server time.

Why limits? Without them, emeralds would flood the economy. Limits ensure everyone earns at a fair pace and keeps emeralds valuable.

For full trade tables showing every item, price, and daily limit, see the Spawn Shops page.

Daily Income Summary#

Shop Max Daily Emeralds
Fisherman 146
Alchemist 138
Miner 86
Farmer 77
Lumberjack 51
Shop Total 498
Raids (1/day) 25-35
Grand Total ~523-533

Note: This is the theoretical maximum if you max every single trade. Most players will earn less based on their playstyle and focus.

You need spawn eggs to place your player shops (ranks only give you permission slots). Deleting a shop refunds the egg, so you can reorganize without losing emeralds!

Toy Store#

Visit the Toy Store NPC at spawn to buy novelty plushies for Emerald40x EmeraldEmerald each. There are 129 plushies across 12 collections, with rotating monthly stock. Collecting them all costs Emerald5160x EmeraldEmerald!

Other Sinks#

  • Villager Trades — Regular villagers still accept emeralds (major sink for Mending books, enchants, tools)
  • Player Shops — Buy from other players

Why No Villager Emerald Farms?#

Oakheart's economy is designed to prevent hyperinflation:

  1. Villagers don't give emeralds — They only sell items for emeralds
  2. Spawn shops have limits — You can't farm infinite emeralds
  3. Raid cooldown — 24-hour cooldown prevents raid emerald farming
  4. Multiple sinks — Ways to spend emeralds keep them valuable

This means emeralds are always valuable—no massive villager halls breaking the economy!
