  • Open /races to see every challenge with its current leader, their progress and the prize.
  • Be the first player on SMP to break the target number of the listed block to win. Your progress counts in every Survival world.
  • Prizes are paid to you automatically: money for the stone, ore and log challenges, and gems for diamonds, emeralds and Ancient Debris.
  • A challenge closes when someone wins it and reopens on its own a few hours later. Chat announces when a challenge opens and who won it.
  • Only naturally generated blocks count. Blocks you place yourself do not.

The challenges

  • Stone Sprint: break 10,000 Stone to win $250,000. Reopens 3 hours after a win.
  • Deepslate Delve: break 7,500 Deepslate to win $250,000. Reopens after 4 hours.
  • Netherrack Blitz: break 15,000 Netherrack to win $250,000. Reopens after 4 hours.
  • Coal Rush: break 1,000 Coal Ore to win $150,000. Reopens after 4 hours.
  • Iron Haul: break 800 Iron Ore to win $150,000. Reopens after 6 hours.
  • Timber!: break 3,000 Oak Logs to win $300,000. Reopens after 6 hours.
  • Obsidian Grind: break 1,024 Obsidian to win $1,000,000. Reopens after 12 hours.
  • Diamond Rush: break 256 Deepslate Diamond Ore to win 250 gems. Reopens after 6 hours.
  • Emerald Vein: break 96 Emerald Ore to win 250 gems. Reopens after 6 hours.
  • Debris Dive: break 96 Ancient Debris to win 500 gems. Reopens after 12 hours.

Only the exact block named counts. For example, Deepslate Iron Ore does not count toward Iron Haul, and regular Diamond Ore does not count toward Diamond Rush.
