They way how people make money

[cattfish0612]

Hey guys I was wondering what the best way to make money is. But wait there's more. I think that in the game, we're separated as poor or rich people, there is no middle class. I think that the middle class players should be considered as  having about 20-30k. So I want to know what you guys think about the Opticraft economy and transitioning into a tripart economy. But my reasoning is different to other mediums of getting into the middle class. Say you worked on a massive project to achieve economic success, I want to know about the factors that contribute into your success; time, if you hired people, expensive supplies, etc.. In my opinion, the Opticraft Goal is completing that massive project and thinking how awesome it is. As an Opticraft player, I want to think about different ways of getting money, none of that mining dirt/cobble and selling it to the market, the market is a robbery in my opinion. I owned a shop for a while and had many people come, I checked many of their balances, and I'd say about 3/10 people I checked had over 25K/30K. I think that is kind of unreasonable, especially because of the hard work players put into their projects. But I don't understand or know every situation to getting money, so I want some of your opinions.

Everyone who has become extremely rich has done it through farms.


First there were melon and pumpkin farms, and no AFK kicker.
They were removed. Sadly I missed this amazing profit machine.

Then cacti farms came around. I built the largest auto cacti farm in the entire server. Made bitchin amounts of money (100's of thousands from afking at my huge ass cacti farm).
Cactus got removed. I gave alicia the honor of worldediting the farm into thin air to clear up server resources since cacti farms can't be simply switched off like a melon or pumpkin farm.

Then an AFK kicker was put into place. Iron farming became the #1 method of farming alongside gold farms. Gold farms are more rare due to the fact that they are hard to build because you need a HUGE area in the nether with no spawnable ground (all lava). Iron farms right now are the biggest money makers at the moment. I've made hundreds of thousands from it so far. Of course iron ingots prices got cut in half. However, I don't see iron ingots being nerfed anymore or being removed because iron farms are very limited as far as how much iron you can get from one, and they need to be huge as hell, and only so many can be made in the world (since they have to be far apart from each other and from any villages to prevent interference.


What I'm trying to say here is, if you want to get rich:

Well chief, I have an iron farm and am building a gold farm. There is another block that pigment can't spawn on: halfslabs. S you need either a huge lava lake or a large area covered in halfslabs.

Then how did you make money selling stone?/stone bricks?

[Chief149]

Gold farms are still much more tricky to create than an iron farm. Iron farms only need doors and villagers. I mean, you have to cover all of the nether in freakin half slabs to make your farm work! Unless you can somehow get above the bedrock layer at the top of the nether.

By being on the server since release, selling various categories of items throughout that time, and occasionally donating.

Mine nether quartz. If you can find people who want it, you can make a couple grand per stack.

Also, slime balls seem to be in as well.

But one that is definitely going to be big is leather, and wool. Either make a leather farm or wool farm. Both will bring great profits as they have the most popular uses, but are in very limited supply. Same with clay. That stuff is selling like crazy.
