Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about playing and trading in MineX

What is MineX? +

MineX is a network of Minecraft servers with MMORPG-style content: classes, skill trees, bosses and dungeons. You own the items you earn. Every sword, armor and treasure you find is registered on the Solana blockchain, so it is genuinely yours and you can sell it to another player for real money. Your time and your skill hold their value.

How do I start playing MineX? +

You have two options:

  • Full Game: Connect to play.minex.gg using Minecraft Java Edition
  • Browser Demo: Try instantly at web.minex.gg — no download needed

A Solana wallet is automatically created for you when you join, so no crypto knowledge is needed.

Do I need crypto knowledge to play? +

No! MineX is designed for Minecraft players, not crypto experts. Your wallet is created automatically when you first join. Gas fees are covered by us. You manage everything from inside the game, with no browser extensions and no seed phrases to remember. Just play.

How do I sell items for real money? +

Items can be traded directly with other players in-game or listed on the MineX Scanner marketplace. When you sell, you keep 90% of the sale price and MineX takes a 10% fee. Payments are in USDC (a stablecoin equal to USD) which can be converted to your local currency through exchanges or off-ramp services.

Is MineX safe? Will I get banned from Minecraft? +

MineX is a standalone Minecraft server, so you cannot get banned from official Minecraft for playing on third-party servers. Our blockchain integration is built to prevent scams, duplication, and fraud. Every transaction is verified on-chain, and our anti-duplication system checks every 5-15 minutes. In over a month of testing, we've had zero successful exploits.

What blockchain does MineX use? +

MineX is built on Solana, chosen for:

  • Speed: 400ms transaction finality
  • Cost: Fractions of a cent per transaction
  • Environment: Proof-of-Stake is eco-friendly
  • Scale: Can handle thousands of items minting simultaneously

Items are minted as compressed NFTs (cNFTs) for maximum efficiency.

Who built MineX? +

MineX was started by Yeray Selva Vallejo, its founder and CEO, and Roberto Porfidia Coll joined as co-founder a few months later. Between them they have 10+ years of Minecraft server development experience. Yeray's previous project Earncraft reached $95M market cap. Roberto has 100K+ YouTube subscribers in the Minecraft community as DestinyPlayS. Yeray is a member of Superteam Japan and Roberto of La Familia, the Solana community in Spain, and MineX won the DreamNet Solana Hackathon.

What are AI NPCs in MineX? +

MineX features AI-powered NPCs that are unlike any you've seen in games:

  • They remember your name and past interactions
  • They have their own goals and can trade with each other
  • They have real Solana wallets and can accumulate wealth
  • Some NPCs form alliances, while others might ask you questions

They're not scripted, they learn and evolve based on gameplay.

What's the MineX lore and story? +

MineX is set in a medieval fantasy universe controlled by the Empire of Time — a theocracy sustained by dark secrets. You begin as a prisoner destined for sacrifice who unexpectedly survives and gains abilities. Your journey takes you through corrupted lands, battling demigods and uncovering a machinery of control sustained by blood and lies. Read the full lore →
