01Step 1: Claim /daily every day
- Log in and run
/daily. The base payout is 75 Cheater Cash, plus a streak bonus that grows the longer you keep it alive. - Keep the streak going. Seven days earns the 7 DAY STREAK title; thirty days earns ON FIRE.
It is the lowest-effort cash on the server. Missing a day costs you the streak, not just one payout, so it is worth a 30-second login.
02Step 2: Pick the Miner pack and set up a Sell Chest
- In the tutorial, choose the Miner Cheat Pack (free). Its Super Pick drops ores already smelted, digs fast and has a sneak + right-click quick X-Ray on a 45-second cooldown.
- Buy a Sell Chest token with Cheater Cash and set up your Sell Chest. It auto-sells ores inside it every 60 seconds.
- Run
/toolto upgrade your tool (5 levels) once you have spare cash./potionssells Miner's Haste and Fortune Draught for longer sessions.
Why Miner? Smelted ore is worth 50% more than raw ore, and the Super Pick skips the furnace. Details in the Miner Cheat Pack page.
03Base sell prices: raw vs smelted
These are the Sell Chest base prices per item, before the Market Index and demand adjust them:
| Item | Raw or base | Smelted | Smelting gain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copper | 0.8 | 1.2 | +50% |
| Iron | 2 | 3 | +50% |
| Gold | 3 | 4.5 | +50% |
| Coal | 1 | Not smelted | None |
| Redstone | 1.2 | Not smelted | None |
| Lapis | 1.4 | Not smelted | None |
| Emerald | 8 | Not smelted | None |
| Diamond | 18 | Not smelted | None |
| Ancient debris | 22 | Not smelted | None |
One diamond is worth six iron ingots. One ancient debris is worth more than a diamond. Mining depth matters more than mining volume.
04Step 3: Read /market before you sell
Supply and demand moves each material between 35% (flooded) and +25% (nobody selling). That flips the obvious strategy.
- Run
/marketand check which materials are flooded. - If diamonds are flooded at 35%, a diamond pays about 6.3 base instead of 18. Gold ingots at +25% pay about 5.6. A stack of gold can beat a handful of diamonds.
- Stockpile the flooded material in a chest instead of dumping it. Sell it when demand recovers.
- Keep an eye out for MARKET UPDATE broadcasts. Every +10% on the index is announced server-wide.
Do not sit on raw cash, though. If players hoard money, prices inflate up to 2.5x, so cash buys less. Hold goods, spend cash.
05Step 4: Add arenas, the Cheat Cup and events
| Source | Cash | Limits |
|---|---|---|
| Arena win (2+ players) | 40 + 3 Gems | 10 rewarded matches/day |
| Arena loss | 10 | Same cap |
| Cheat Cup (Sat 6 PM Central) | 50 for everyone | Top 3 also get Gems |
| Reality Crash (nightly 7 PM Central) | Varies | Plus items, Patches, Gems |
| Daily contracts | Varies | Also pay Patches |
AFK garden (/afk) | Small | Capped |
Ten winning arena matches is 400 Cash before scaling. Even ten losses is 100. See arenas and the events schedule.
06Step 5: Hunt WANTED players and bounties
If you have PvP on, a valid kill on a WANTED player mints a server bounty: 250 Cheater Cash, plus 100 for each extra overheat while WANTED, up to 1,000. Players also post their own bounties with /bounty, from 100 to 10,000 each. Check /wanted and /bounty list.
Anti-farming rules apply: the same killer and victim pay out once per 24 hours, and same-IP kills are blocked. More in the bounty server guide.
07A sample money routine for one session
- Log in:
/daily, then/marketto see what is flooded and what is in demand. - First hour: mine with the Super Pick. Use Ore Ping (12 blocks, 30s cooldown) to find veins, and feed everything that is not flooded into your Sell Chest.
- Before 7 PM Central: run your 10 rewarded arena matches. Arenas close during Reality Crash.
- 7 PM Central: join Reality Crash for cash, Patches, Gems and items.
- Wrap up: list any custom item drops on
/auction, spend spare cash on a/toollevel or a Blueprint, and log off with goods in storage instead of a big cash pile.
On Saturdays, swap the arena block for the Cheat Cup at 6 PM Central. Everyone who plays gets 50 Cash.
08Step 6: Trade, auction and spend smart
- Sell custom items and anything a Sell Chest will not take on
/auctionor through/trade. See Sell Chests and auctions. - Reinvest in things that earn: a Triple Auto-Smelter from the Blueprint Shop turns raw ore into +50% ingots.
- Check
/walletoften so you know what you can spend.

FAQFrequently asked questions
What is the most profitable ore to sell on CHEAT SMP?
Ancient debris has the highest base price at 22, then diamond at 18. Check /market first, because a flooded material can drop to 35% of its value.
Should I sell raw ore or ingots?
Ingots. Copper, iron and gold all pay 50% more smelted. The Miner pack's Super Pick drops ores already smelted.
How much does /daily give?
75 Cheater Cash base plus a streak bonus. Seven and thirty day streaks also earn titles.
Can I make money by AFKing?
A little. The AFK garden (/afk) pays small, capped amounts. Active play pays far more.
