Using the Economy Explorer#
The Economy Explorer is the website you're reading this on. It's a live window into the server economy — balances, firms, the ChestShop market, and how money moves around. Most of it is open to everyone; a few things about you specifically unlock once you sign in and link your Minecraft account.
What you can browse without signing in#
Plenty is public:
- Balances and leaderboards — who holds what, the richest accounts.
- Firms — public company profiles and directory balances; internal accounts and activity require permission.
- Market — ChestShop prices, top items, and sales volume.
- Money flow and other economy-wide charts.
- Search — press Ctrl K (⌘K on a Mac), /, or the Search button
in the top bar. Type two or more letters to find players, accounts (by name or
ID) and firms, or the name of a page ("statements", "taxation") to jump there.
Use the arrow keys and Enter, or click. Things you open from search are
listed under Recent next time; they are kept only in your browser. The
same box can copy the server address and switch between light and dark.
Suggestions match the start of a name. For a fuller search, choose Search
everything: the search page also finds account, firm and item names
that contain your text anywhere, groups the results with a count for each
type, and has a tab per type. Player names always match from the first letter.
Type an account number (
#1204) or a player's full UUID to go straight to it.
Finding your way around#
The top bar has the main sections: Economy, Directory (players, accounts and firms), Market, and Docs. Government and Investigate appear only for people whose role and accounts give them access. The pages of the section you are in are listed just below the top bar. On a phone, the Menu button at the top right lists every section and page.
Dates and times#
Timestamps use your browser’s local timezone, including daylight saving time. The timezone is shown beside each timestamp; hover over it for the exact UTC instant and full timezone name. Before JavaScript loads (or if it is disabled), timestamps are shown in UTC.
Daily charts and activity calendars use UTC days, as labelled. Their totals cover midnight to midnight UTC, so a local timestamp can fall on a different calendar date from its chart bucket.
What signing in unlocks#
Signing in and linking your in-game identity unlocks your detailed account, income/spending and personal ChestShop data. Shared-account users and authorized staff may also read records according to their permissions.
Step 1 — Sign in#
Click Log in in the top-right corner. You'll sign in with your account, then land back on the Explorer. Once you're in, your account menu appears in the top-right. After you link your Minecraft account it shows your head, your name and your personal balance: the money in your own personal account. Money in firms you own or work for, and in government accounts you can see, is never added to it, because that money is not yours personally.
Open the menu for your own pages: My finances, My transactions, Statements, My market, My firms, Webhooks and API, and Link status. Log out signs you out of the Explorer and of your server account login; you may be asked to confirm.
Step 2 — Link your Minecraft account#
Signing in proves who you are on the website; linking connects that to your in-game character so the Explorer knows which balances are yours.
- Open Link your account (before you're linked, the account menu starts with Link your Minecraft account).
- Generate a short code on that page.
- Join the Minecraft server and run this command within 5 minutes:
/treasuryapi ui link <code>
- Come back and refresh — you're linked.
Bedrock/Floodgate players use this same in-game linking flow. Run the command while signed in as the Minecraft player whose records you want to access; the link uses that player's UUID, including Floodgate identities.
NOTE
The code expires after 5 minutes. If it lapses, just generate a new one and run the command again.
Step 3 — View your data#
Once linked, choose My finances in the account menu. It is a workspace with a section list on the left (a menu at the top on a phone):
- Overview: My balance, which is the money in your own personal account only, with a chart over the last 90 days (or the range you pick); this month's income and spending by category compared with last month; who pays you most and whom you pay most; and your latest activity.
- Accounts you can access, grouped by whose money it is: Mine, accounts shared with you by other players, each firm you can see (with your role there and the firm's own total), and government accounts grouped by unit (or Unassigned). Each row says why you can see it: owner, member, authorizer, viewer, firm finance (with your role) or a group. Firm and government money is never added to yours. A firm's money belongs to the firm, and the biggest firms are banks holding other players' deposits.
- Transactions: your full history, newest first. Filter by category, direction, counterparty, amount, account, memo text and date. Add an Account filter to include accounts shared with you. Category, counterparty and memo filters search 31 days at a time, and Older keeps searching further back. Export downloads every matching row as CSV or JSON.
- Statements: one per month, with the opening balance, money in and out by category, the closing balance, tax paid and the largest transactions. Print it (or save it as a PDF) from your browser, or download it as CSV.
- Taxes and fines: tax you paid by kind and month, every fine issued to you with its transaction, and the tax rates in force.
- Market: what you buy at other shops and what sells at your own.
- Firms: firms you own or work for, your role, its permissions and when you were hired. Where you have a finance role, the firm's balance and this month's net, labelled as the firm's money.
- Developer: your API keys (never their tokens) and your webhooks.
Income and spending leave out money moved between your own accounts. Money between you and a firm, such as wages or an owner's draw, does count.
Charts and statements are built from daily summaries that update every few minutes, shown as "Updated 14:05". Right after an Explorer release, older history is prepared in the background, newest first. Until it is ready, those sections say how far back they are covered.
TIP
Linking identifies your own data. Authorized investigators and administrators can also read private data according to their configured permissions. Shared account relationships grant access to those accounts. Public balances, firm profiles and aggregate market pages remain public.
Opening a transaction#
You can open a transaction involving an account you have permission to read, including shared government accounts. Its detail page shows every posting and counterparty for that transaction, so you can trace the payment. This does not expose the counterparty's other transactions or private account history. The whole-economy transaction list still requires staff investigation permission.
Exporting data#
When you're signed in, tables on the Market and My finances pages show CSV and JSON buttons that download what you're looking at. The buttons only appear once you're logged in.
Tables with an Export menu (the accounts directory, and the transaction and sales lists for staff) can also download all results: every row your current search and filters select, not just the page on screen. A download stops at 100,000 rows; the last line of the file says so when that happens, so narrow the filters to get the rest. You can start 10 exports a minute, and each export is recorded in the access log.
Changing the look#
Use the sun/moon/monitor button in the top bar (in the Menu on a phone) to switch between light, dark, and system (follow your device) appearance. Your choice is remembered.

Understanding summary figures#
Open accounts means non-archived accounts, not players active recently. Personal supply is the current player-held balance; transaction activity measures transfers in the selected period. Balance summaries include negative net balances, while the positive-net-balance chart excludes types whose total is zero or negative. Market items traded counts every distinct item traded in the selected window, not just the featured cards. Government fine totals cover all non-revoked fines in the selected window and your permitted accounts; the fines list is paginated. The item catalogue is ordered by trades in the last 30 days; sort by any column instead.
Economy pages#
Every economy page has a range picker (7, 30 or 90 days, a year, or your own dates); the range is kept in the address, so a link shares the same view. Charts use UTC days, and today is partial.
The economy pages read daily summaries that the explorer builds in the background, so their figures are up to about five minutes behind the ledger. Each section says when it was last updated. After a new release the summaries are rebuilt newest day first, and a section whose range isn't ready yet says "Preparing history: covered back to …" and totals only the days it has.
Overview shows personal money supply (what players hold right now), daily active players, transactions and volume for the range, each compared with the period of the same length before it. It also shows activity by day, a weekday × hour heatmap, and which plugins move the most money. Transactions and volume count a Vault bridge transfer once: some plugins move money through a system "bridge" account, which the ledger records as two transactions. These figures are estimates and don't establish who paid whom. Your transaction history and the raw API feed keep the original ledger records, so their counts can differ. The former Health bookmark redirects here.
Wealth shows current concentration (Gini coefficient, top 1% and 10% shares), money by account type, the personal balance distribution and the largest accounts, plus their history from daily snapshots. Snapshots start on the day the explorer began recording them; earlier days are not reconstructed. The government total includes the accounts that create money, which hold negative balances by design, so it can be negative. Nothing is hidden or netted off.
Money flow shows who pays whom by account type (personal, business, government, system), how much each type gained or lost over the range, and the plugins behind those changes. Transfers between someone's own accounts are left out. The ledger is shown as it is: a payment routed through a system bridge account appears as money into and out of System. Money flow covers up to 92 days at a time. Comparison with a previous period is not currently available.
Taxation is public and shows collections, fine refunds, net revenue by type, revenue by day and the receiving government accounts for the range. It counts recognised personal/corporate balance tax, source income tax, ChestShop sales tax, and recorded fines. Other government transfers and property tax are excluded. Archived receiving accounts remain included. Refunds count on their settlement day, so a day or period can have negative net fine revenue. Individual payers, fine reasons and private account details are not exposed.
The rates panel shows the latest published Treasury configuration, regardless of the selected period. It shows enabled/disabled status, personal weekly balance-tax brackets and per-source income-tax overrides. If live rates cannot be read, it says unavailable; it never substitutes shipped defaults. Corporate and ChestShop rates are not published in this panel.
Government workspace#
The Government workspace opens only for people with government access. It starts with the accounts you are permitted to read. Choose a government unit and date range to narrow the overview, revenue, spending, payroll and fines. A Partial unit means you can read some of its accounts; the totals include only those accounts. Unit membership never grants access by itself.
Accounts lists balances and recent activity. Revenue separates tax, fines and other income; Spending separates wages and other expenses. Top payment lists cover at most the last 31 days of the selected range. Payroll shows payments and unusual changes for review; a flag is not proof of wrongdoing. Its top 50 recipients follow the selected 7d, 30d, 90d, YTD or 1y range, ranked by wages received. Historical recipients show “Preparing history” while the worker backfills them. Run history remains limited to the last 31 days.
Fines supports reason search, active/revoked filters and pagination. Summary totals cover the selected period and permitted accounts, independently of the list filter. Reports provides monthly statements that can be printed or exported as CSV. Audit and Manage units appear only with their separate permissions.
Compliance officers with the required firm-finance and transaction permissions can use the Watchlist and firm investigations. This permission is separate from government account access. A watchlist is personal to its viewer.
If a chart says Preparing history, its summary data is still being built. The page does not substitute incomplete totals for a completed historical period.
Account pages#
Every account has a page at /accounts/<number>, which is where links from the
game lead. Anyone can see:
- Who holds it. A personal account shows its owner. A business account shows the firm that holds it, and its proprietor as the firm's proprietor: a firm's money belongs to the firm, not to the person who runs it.
- Its balance, when the account was opened, and what kind of account it is.
- For business and government accounts, money in, money out and the number of transactions over the last 30 days, with a 12-month trend. Individual transactions stay private.
- Related links: the owner or firm, the firm's other accounts, and other accounts of the same owner.
Use Copy link to share the page, or Copy /pay command to get the in-game command that pays this account.
If you can read the account's history (it is yours, it is shared with you, or you run its firm's finances), you also get a balance chart, money in and out by category, a year-long activity calendar, the top counterparties and the full transaction list. Pick a period with the range buttons at the top. The transaction list has the same filter chips as the directories: Category, Direction, Counterparty, Amount, Date and Message. Use Older and Newer to page through it; Balance after shows the balance right after each transaction.
Filters look at 5,000 transactions at a time, so a busy account stays fast. If nothing matches in that stretch, the table says how far back it looked; press Older to keep looking. Searching message text without a Date filter covers the last 30 days.
Charts and totals come from summaries that update every few minutes. While the explorer is still building older history after an update, a section says Preparing history and how far back it is covered.
Player profiles#
Each player has a profile at /players/<name> (any capitalisation works). It
shows when they first and last played, their personal account and balance, the
firms they run or work for with their role, and their own shops. It never shows a
firm's money or adds up a player's accounts. The Players
directory lists everyone, newest activity first, with filters for first seen,
last seen and firm membership.
Firm pages#
A firm's page shows its proprietor, staff count, headquarters, its accounts and their balances, 30 days of money in and out across those accounts (moves between the firm's own accounts are left out) and the items its shops sell most. Members lists staff and roles, for the firm's own people. Financials shows revenue and costs by category, payroll, shop performance by item and a printable monthly statement with CSV export, for the people who run the firm's money.
Finding items#
Market opens with a search box, this week's price movers, the most traded items and the newest shops. Items lists everything traded in the last 30 days with its average price, trades and volume; search by name and filter or sort by any of them. Average prices come from real trades, not shop quotes.
An item's page shows daily price candles, trades per day, the average price shops charge and pay with the spread between them, and where to buy or sell it now. Pick a period with the range buttons. Under Compare, add up to three other items to plot their average prices together.
Comparing shops#
Find shops lists shop signs, cheapest first. Add I want to: Sell to see shops that buy from you, best price first. Prices on signs are for a batch; the explorer shows the price per item. Stock (or Space, when selling) shows the last observation: Below one batch or Recheck means check before you travel, and admin shops are unlimited. The location opens the server map.
Search and directories on a phone#
Use Search in the header to find accounts, firms and players. Escape closes search and returns focus to its button. Account and firm directories keep names and balances together on narrow screens; expand Details for other columns. When space is limited, transaction history uses compact rows: names on the left, complete amounts on the right, and running balances underneath. Select a transaction to read its full name, message and other details. The players, firms, items and shops directories use the same search and filter chips as the accounts directory below, and keep them in the page address.
Filter the accounts directory#
The Accounts directory is sorted by balance, highest first. Click a column heading to sort by it, and click it again to reverse the order.
-
Search matches account names and owner names. Type a full player UUID to find that player's accounts, or
#123to jump to account number 123. -
+ Filter adds a filter on type, balance, created date, firm or archived state. Each filter shows as a chip under the search box: click a chip to change it, or × to remove it. Clear all removes every filter.
-
You can also type filters straight into the search box, and they turn into chips when you press space or Enter:
Type this To get type:businessBusiness accounts type:business,governmentBusiness or government accounts balance:>10kBalances over 10,000 ( <,>=,<=work too)balance:1k..50kBalances from 1,000 to 50,000 created:2026orcreated:2026-03Opened in that year or month archived:yesArchived accounts, which are otherwise hidden -
Backspace in an empty search box removes the last chip.
-
Columns hides the Type and Created columns. The explorer remembers your choice on this device.
-
Filters are part of the page address, so you can bookmark or share a filtered view.
Recover your website password#
If you already linked your Minecraft account, the server can let you reset the website password without email:
/treasuryapi ui resetpassword
/treasuryapi ui resetpassword confirm
Run both yourself in-game. Copy the temporary password from the private response, sign in with your existing website username, then choose a permanent password when prompted. The temporary password must be replaced at login; it has no separate timed expiry. Keep it private, including your client chat log.
This requires server support and an existing, unambiguous link. Missing/multiple links or a disabled integration need staff assistance; you cannot select another person's username. Confirmed attempts are limited to one per minute. Resetting the password does not explicitly sign out existing sessions or revoke API keys; report a suspected compromise to staff as well.
