Mining Events (Competition, Rush & Hot Zone)
Two recurring mini-events fire on staggered timers inside the prison-world mines, each rewarding active mining, not AFK or bot mining. Both are tier-scoped: you compete and earn within your own mine tier (Coal through Netherite), and announcements only reach players in that tier. They run once cluster-wide, so you never see them double up.
The two are staggered so they don't land at the same moment. Don't memorise fixed minute values; open the /events menu and treat its countdowns as the source of truth.
Mining Competition (/comp)
A periodic race to top your tier's leaderboard by mining ore that matches your current mine. Each competition rolls two random reward types from XP, Shards, Ancient Energy, and Ore.
The top 3 miners in each tier earn boosters of those reward types for 10 minutes:
| Place | Booster strength |
|---|---|
| 1st | 1.5x |
| 2nd | 1.3x |
| 3rd | 1.2x |
Blocks broken by the Shatter enchant do not count toward your total, only ore you break directly. Run /comp to watch the live leaderboard.
Mining Rush (/rush)
A single refined-ore block (a Coal Block, Netherite Block, or whatever matches your tier) spawns in each mine, marked with a floating label above it and pinged to modded clients as a beam. Players race to swing it.
- Every swing earns 1 raffle ticket.
- After 100 total swings, the rush completes.
- A weighted raffle then picks one winner from the tickets. Swing more, win more often.
The winner gets a large XP & Energy multiplier reward that scales by mine tier: higher tiers pay far bigger multipliers than the lower ones. Use /rush to check the current rush.
On top of that, a completed rush can hand its winner a Mystery Jewel, rolled at the rarity the rush block's own ore drops, so contesting the diamond rush is how you chase a diamond-tier jewel.
Hot Zones are gone
Hot Zones were removed from the game in Map 4. /hotzone no longer exists.
Both remaining events reward active swings, so they pair with a well-enchanted pickaxe: the faster you break, the higher you climb and the more tickets you bank.
