Overview
MinePool Origins is a browser-based, multiplayer pixel mining & farming world on Base. You explore one shared, persistent map alongside other players — mine ore, grow crops, raise animals, craft goods, and trade them for CRYSTALS, the game's currency. There are no pay-to-win purchases: everything is earned by playing. The game is live on Base.
CRYSTALS — the in-game currency
The whole economy runs on ◇ CRYSTALS. You earn it by gathering and selling, and spend it on seeds, tool upgrades, land and the market. New players get a 1,000,000 CRYSTALS welcome gift to start. Earn it all through play.
| Symbol | ◇ CRYSTALS |
| Network | Base |
| Earned by | Mining, farming, animals, crafting, trading, quests, daily rewards |
| Spent on | Seeds, tool upgrades, land, market purchases |
| Source | Gameplay only — no pre-sale, no purchase to play |
How you earn
Four gathering loops feed the economy, and everything you gather can be sold for CRYSTALS:
| Loop | Where | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Mining | Mining Site | Copper, iron, silver, gold, gem — plus stone & crystal; nodes respawn fast |
| Farming | Community Farm | 11 crops from Wheat to Pumpkin, each with its own grow time & value |
| Animals | Animal Farm | Honey, eggs and milk |
| Crafting | Workshop | Bars, food and jewelry — higher value from raw materials |
Two ways to sell
Sell to the Game — instant and always available, pays 85% of an item's reference price. Best for quick, reliable income.
Player Market — list items for other players at a price you choose and earn the full amount when someone buys. A real player-driven market where prices are set by demand.
Beginner boost
Until level 5, everything you gather is auto-sold for CRYSTALS at 100% reference price the instant you collect it — so new players earn immediately while learning. After level 5, resources go into your inventory so you can craft them, hold for a better price, or trade them yourself.
Rare finds: Prismatic Shard
While mining, there is a small chance to unearth a 💠 Prismatic Shard — an ultra-rare gem worth around ◇ 200,000. It goes straight to your bag (never auto-sold), so a single lucky strike can change your whole session.
Progression
| Levels & XP | Every action grants XP; leveling opens up the full economy |
| Energy | Actions cost energy, which regenerates over time |
| Upgrades | Improve your Pickaxe, Shovel, Boots & Armor for faster, richer gathering |
| Quests | A rotating set of daily quests pays CRYSTALS for completing tasks |
| Daily & events | Daily login bonus, plus the Wishing Fountain, Fortune Wheel & Daily Chest |
Accounts & security
Jump in instantly as a guest — no signup. Progress saves automatically on your device and you are brought straight back in next time. When you want it permanent, Secure your account to get a recovery key (MPO-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) that restores your exact account — name and all progress — on any device. Treat the key like a seed phrase: keep it safe, never share it.
Multiplayer world
One shared, persistent world. Other players are live around you, the farm and map are shared, and a live World Activity report on the home screen shows how much the community has gathered and traded.
Roadmap
| Live | Core economy — mining, farming, market, crafting, accounts |
| Next | Richer crafting, crop & seasonal variety, deeper building & production economy |
| Mainnet | On-chain settlement on Base and a mainnet CRYSTALS economy |
| Future | Guilds, governance and cross-game integrations |
