Money
RanchMC has three currencies, and each one does a different job.
/gemstore on hats, backpacks, particles, tags and disguises.Your farm
Your farm is protected. Visitors can look around, but they can't break blocks, harvest, or open your chests unless you allow it in your farm settings.
- Expanding: spend Tokens to make your farm bigger. Each expansion also raises how many crops you can plant.
- Crop limit: every farm starts with room for 1,000 crops, and each expansion adds 100 more.
- Visitors: set your farm home and visit spot so friends can find you. You can kick or ban anyone from your farm.
Crops
Each crop unlocks at a farming level. Crops marked "regrows" can be harvested several times before you need to replant.
| Crop | Unlocks at | Grow time | Harvests |
|---|
Factories
Factories turn raw crops into goods that sell for much more. Put ingredients in, start the craft, and collect the output when it's done. You can stack ingredients to run several batches in a row.
| Factory | Makes |
|---|---|
| Oven | Bread, pies, cookies, cheesecakes, soup |
| Jam Maker | Berry and pumpkin jams |
| Juice Press | Fruit and vegetable juices |
| Dairy | Dairy goods from milk |
| Loom | Cloth from cotton and wool |
| Smokehouse | Smoked meats like Fresh Bacon |
| Feed Mill | Chicken, Cow, Pig and Sheep Feed |
Animals
Build coops for chickens, cows, sheep and pigs. Make feed in the Feed Mill, put it in the coop's feed tray, and collect eggs, milk, wool and meat to sell or use in your factories.
Pets
Pets follow you around and give your farm a bonus. Level them up to make the bonus stronger.
| Pet | Bonus |
|---|---|
| Chicken | More farming XP from harvests |
| Sheep | Extra crops from harvests and more wool |
| Pig | Higher sell prices |
| Cow | Extra factory output and more milk |
| Horse | Faster crop growth |
Use /pet summon <type> to bring one out and /pet dismiss to put it away.
Order Board
The Order Board gives you three orders at a time for specific crops and goods. Fill one to earn bonus coins and XP, and a new order takes its place. Higher farming levels get bigger orders for better goods.
Co-ops
Invite friends to farm with you. Co-op members can work your farm, and you can promote trusted members to Moderator.
- Members can farm, harvest and use your buildings.
- Moderators can also kick and ban visitors, set the farm home, and pay for expansions with their own Tokens.
Trading
- Shop signs: put a sign on a chest to sell items to other players while you're offline. Use
/farmshop. Everyone gets 5 signs, and ranks get more. - Player market: list items for other players with
/playermarket. - Direct trades: trade safely with another player using
/trade.
Shop sign sales have a small tax, so set your prices with that in mind.
Cosmetics
Hats, backpacks, hand items, particles, tags and mob disguises are all in the /gemstore. Right-click any particle in the store to try it on for 15 seconds before you buy. Equip what you own from your cosmetics menu.
