Farming
- Get your farm started with /kit claim seeds, which grants a small amount of each chem seed.
- Dirt crops (Wheat, beetroot, carrots, potatoes, sweet berries, melons, pumpkins, and bamboo) all require a minimum of light level of 9 in order to grow. If you can't plant your crops, first make sure that you have enough light. The following are the only types of crops that do not require any light to grow: Cactus, chorus flower, nether wart, glow berries, sugar cane, and cocoa beans.
- Be efficient with your water use. One water source block will hydrate farmland in a radius of four blocks. You don't need to have water next to each block of farmland. Example - this is the most efficient use of water.
- Likewise, make sure to maximize the efficiency of water placement when farming sugarcane. Example.
- Take advantage of Auto-Replant and Extra Drops to maximize efficiency for manual chems.
- Level up your mcMMO Herbalism level to increase your chances of doubling crop drops.
Selling Chems
General Tips

- Take advantage of speed and invisibility potions - police aren't allowed to use speed potions, so unless they have a mount or use their speed boost, you will always be faster than them.
- Waiting to sell your chems until a Chem Price Booster is active can be much more profitable, but it usually means there will be more police online.
- Take advantage of all of the spawn exits, don't just use the main front/side exits.
