Creating a civilization

Buildings

Enter the building competition, get ranked, and earn energy every day.

Making a building#

Place a Beehive building block to create a building: a 3D plot of land and your ticket into Minter's building competition. Anyone you add to the building can edit inside it, and your build is constantly ranked against every other building on the server.

Buildings are the main source of energy on Minter. Get building blocks by completing Nether ruins, then right-click the placed block for options.

Rating your building#

Finished something you're proud of? Open the menu and click Rate building (the Eye of Ender). An architectural scanner reviews everything inside your plot's dimensions and assigns a rank.

  1. 1
    Improve your build
  2. 2
    Click Rate building
  3. 3
    Repeat

    If your rating goes up you may earn a higher rank, which pays more energy.

Tip. Only what's inside the plot counts. Adjust the building's dimensions in the menu so the scanner sees your whole build.

Earning energy and XP#

Your rank decides how much energy the building pays out each day. Click Earn to start earning; this employs you, and the building's rank appears next to your name. Click Collect to claim what you've accrued.

Left-click energy items for XP, or right-click them to power farms in your area.

Employing players#

Use /employ or the building menu to hire other players, so they earn from your building too. It's the backbone of every large empire.

Empire taxes#

Claim owners set tax rates on buildings inside their claim. A percentage of all energy collected by those buildings becomes available at the anchor. For empire builders, taxes are the fastest way to get rich.
