Economy
Burken runs on kr (kronor). It's a closed economy — a fixed amount of money exists in the world, so coins are earned and traded, never made from thin air. Here's how to make some and spend it.
💡 The big idea
- Everyone shares one fixed pool of money — no printing, no duplicating.
- You earn kr by selling items and doing quests, and spend it buying items or paying players.
- Brand-new money only ever enters through the Mint (see below).
💰 Checking your money
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/bal | Check your balance |
/bal <player> | Check someone else's balance |
/baltop | See the richest players |
/pay <player> <amount> | Send kr to another player |
/bank | See how much kr is left in the Bank |
🪧 Shops — buying & selling
Look for [Admin Shop] signs — they buy and sell items for kr.
- Right-click a sign to trade.
- A normal click trades the quantity on the sign (e.g. 64); shift-click trades 1.
- Some signs do both: left-click to buy, right-click to sell.
- Prices float with supply & demand — the more of an item in stock, the cheaper it gets. Dump a lot of one thing and it pays less; rare stuff stays valuable.
📈 Making money
- Sell loot and farm goods at shop signs.
- Do quests — many pay kr.
- The Mint — the only source of brand-new coins: right-click a
[Mint]sign while holding Netherite Ingots to turn them into kr (daily limits apply, so the market can't be flooded).
🌱 Tips for new players
- Sell early loot you don't need to get your first kr.
- Dumping a huge stack at once drives the price down as you sell — spread big sales out.
- Sell a variety of items to get more per trade.
- Save up for the good stuff instead of buying when stock (and prices) are bad.
