The current Spawn is located in the middle of a sprawling Badlands biome with real estate and player shops available for rent and purchase. Map resets are based on the balance of currently occupied vs. available land. If it starts getting crowded, we expand. If it fills up quicker, we start a new map.

Our goal is to keep the map clean and somewhat orderly. To make the experience more immersive, we encourage players to set up communities and build natural looking structures and foliage for realism. Large statues that detract from the overall appearance or just seem out of place i.e. cars, pokemon, or floating platforms are highly discouraged.
To assist with maintaining our natural resources in the over-world to the best extent possible, we have a resource world, resource nether, and resource end which automatically reset every seven days. We also offer admin shops in the Stimulus Trade Center (STC for short), located near the spawn plaza at coordinates 87, -25. The STC is open the first seven days of every month to buy bulk material like stone, dirt, sand etc. There are also a selection of shops that rotate for other special items. As of now, there is an End Shop, an Oceanic Material Shop, and a Redstone Shop. In order to keep the economy balanced and player-driven, all items are sold at above average prices.
The following commands allow access to each resource world:
/resource tp/resource tp nether/resource tp endCurrently there are seven achievable ranks. The system is simple and gameplay is much more inline with survival Minecraft in the beginning. You start without the ability to warp and are only given one home location. /home and /spawn are the only free warp commands in the game. As players progress, more home locations can be earned. Only Citizens and above have access to public warps (at a cost). Nobles are the only rank that can create their own warps.
Basic essentials commands and one home location.
In addition to all basic permissions, Drifters gain the ability to use the /condense command to turn all applicable items into blocks. Drifters are allowed two home locations.

Players start out with 400 Claim blocks and gain 50 additional blocks per hour of gameplay. All players max out at 6000 claim blocks earned from gameplay, regardless of rank. Players can buy additional claim blocks. To claim your first area, place a chest down. The first chest you place will automatically create a 10 block x 10 block claim around it. The corners of your claim will be represented as gold blocks with glowstone showing the corner directions. Players can click their claim with a stick at anytime to see the outline of their claim.
To resize your claim you will need to use a golden shovel. Using your golden shovel, click a corner and then click somewhere else to expand or reshape your claim. It's that easy! The original chest does not have to remain where you placed it to keep the claim. If, for some reason, a player decides to move, claims can be abandoned by using /abandonclaim and half of those claim blocks will be added back to the player's total balance. If you want to create a non-adjacent claim, just shift click with your golden shovel to create another area. Here's a few of the top commands to know:
| Command | Description |

A full list of GriefPrevention claim commands can be found here.
Claims can be only be established in the main Over-world and main Nether! Claims expire after 90 days of player inactivity. Also, if you are having trouble using basic Redstone items i.e. hoppers, pistons, etc - make sure you are building in claimed space. Global perms prevent certain actions.
Players can see their current rank, by typing /ranks in the chat. The requirements to rank up to the next rank can be seen by using /rankup.
Certain areas in the world are available to rent, contract, or purchase. These areas are designated by Moderators and above. Players can setup shops or homes in these areas at a cost. There is a slight difference in how each designated region works.

| Rent | These areas are rentals which must be re-rented before their expiration. A timers will begin to update on the sign to let the rentor know how long they have left on that property. |
| Contracts | Contracted area work much like rentals but will autorenew as long as the player has the funds in their account. |
| Buy | Bought real-estate is acquired at a flat cost and remains in the possession of the purchaser ad-infinitum. On Pixelfish, claims will be put back up for purchase if the owner has not logged in for over 90 days (No refunds!!). |

The Economy in Pixelfish revolves around the Emerald, Minecraft's default currency. Emeralds can be earned by finding them in the wild or setting up your own Villager trading spot. A player's balance is determined solely on their ingenuity, patience, and creativity. Precious metals in the game can be converted to Emeralds using the /sell command with the item in their hand.
Players can invoke the /sell command to sell any of the following precious metals, in all craftable forms i.e blocks, nuggets, ingots, for in-game currency anywhere in the world. This is a quick way to transform the precious goods you find to Emeralds. However, keep in mind that these values will fluctuate though and can be affected by the community's market trends.
Midas coins are the currency for all Admin shops. The value of these coins is affected by how many are traded at the Spawn Bank. Currently, there are eight booths with player privacy locks where players can exchange Emerald Blocks for Midas Coins. The more people who use the currency, the higher it's value goes.

/sellshares w/ shares in hand
Keep them and look for profits!
Share prices are a combination of ores mined vs sold and used in game by all players. Rates fluctuate and are published twice every day immediately following the server reset. If you play your cards right, you might just bank a serious stack of Emeralds! You can list current market prices by entering the command: /markets. You can also see how much it would cost to buy a certain amount of shares using: /sharecost [market] [amount]. If you own shares and want to see how much you'll get from selling them do: /sharevalue with the shares in your hand. Keep a look out for the wave indicator. It signifies random generated movement which will likely resolve on the next refresh.
There are numerous communities across the Server. These communities act as hubs for players to access the server bank as well as trade with admin and player shops. Plots can be contracted in these locations to set up a shop or just build a house with easy access to the market. In order to allow these hubs to flourish and grow, dedicated players can be given region access to build and expand them in creative new ways. Players can access these communities using the provided warps at Spawn. All warp requests cost 10 emeralds.
Pixelfish is all about promoting large-scale communities. We like to think of ourselves as a friendly SMP server for everybody. There are very few limitations aside from the built in GriefPrevention and Emerald economy. However, with the Shopkeepers plugin, it's easy to start your own Empire and currency on the server, or join up with your friends to make a sprawling oasis. We're looking forward to seeing all the awesome stuff you build!
