How to get Money (Block Values)

There are two ways to get money on Serenity. One way is to trade items to other players. But probably the most common way is breaking and placing blocks. We want to reward people for actually playing the game, and rearranging blocks is what Minecraft is all about. The following table shows how much money you'll receive for breaking or replacing each type of block. If the block isn't on the list, you'll get no money for it. This list was changed in the recent code update, so you may want to review it even if you're a vet.

As a general guideline, the harder a block is to break, the more money you get for it. If you can break it instantly with no tools (torches for example), you won't get any money for placing or removing it. Crops are a minor exception to this. Even though they break instantly, you have to invest effort into growing them. Only blocks broken directly by you, either with your hands or with a tool, will yield money.

You will usually get the same amount of money for placing a block as you did for removing it. The only exceptions to this are gravity based blocks, meaning blocks that fall if they aren't resting on a solid block. The current list of those is very short: sand, gravel, and anvils. You will only get money for breaking these blocks. It was previously possible to exploit them for money by repeatedly placing them above a torch or half slab.
