# Earning in-game money

<figure><img src="/files/d3T3A7NMy8TwfZ69FpPd" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**LilacMC offers a completely player-driven economy**, meaning every transaction is kept between players and there is no real fixed value for each item or service. This allows players to control how valuable some items are compared to others and uses an intuitive and realistic system of supply and demand. **There is no server shop or shop GUI**, but there are many ways to put your goods on the market!

***

### <mark style="color:red;">Where do I start?</mark>

New players receive a bit of money to help them get settled and buy a few things on the server. Your total balance is displayed on the scoreboard on the right. You can view this value at any time using the <mark style="color:green;">**/bal**</mark> command.<br>

The five most common ways to make money on the server are by **joining a job, running player shops, using the auction house, voting for rewards, and participating in events.** Almost anything you do on LilacMC can make you money.

### <mark style="color:purple;">Are there fast ways to make money?</mark>

Of course! LilacMC encourages players to vote for the server as it ups our ranking in server lists and helps the server grow. You can support the server by voting using the **/vote** command and going to the voting links, or by visiting [the voting page](https://lilacmc.net/vote/). All you need to vote is your username. Once you vote, you will be given a Tulip key you can use at **/crates** for rewards. **Simply right-click the corresponding crate to receive your reward.** Rewards include money, tags, divine cores and other valuable items.<br>
