Getting Started

From MCLabs

MCDrugs is the longest-running Minecraft Drug server. The entire server economy is based on selling drugs. Drugs can be acquired by either growing them (most Minecraft plants and crops that can be grown can be sold as drugs), or by becoming a police officer and selling confiscated drugs. This article will aim to give a quick overview of the main features of the server, and provide enough information to help you get started.


Reading this entire article isn't necessary to get started - you can start playing, and refer back here when needed. If you don't want to read the entire thing before playing, here's the basics:

  • Grow Minecraft crops, or "raw drugs", and sell them to make money.
    • You can sell drugs by going to /spawn and following the redstone trail.
    • Watch out for police in blue leather armour, who can take your drugs.
  • Make drug combinations in /lab, which sell for more than raw drugs.
  • Drugs grow faster in the Farm worlds, which you can get to with either /farma or /farmm. To see where each drug grows fastest, use /drugnames.

MCDrugs Basics

Selling Drugs

Selling drugs is the main method of making money on MCDrugs. To sell drugs, go to /spawn and follow the redstone trail to the drug selling house. Inside, there is an NPC that you can right-click to open the drug selling menu.

But watch out - police patrol spawn and will try to frisk you and take your drugs. Police wear distinctive dark blue armour, and you should avoid them if you have drugs in your inventory. If a cop right-clicks you and you have more than a few drugs, your drugs will be taken and you will go to jail for up to a few minutes.

Tip: As a new player, you have two hours of protection from police. Use this time to scout selling routes before you start selling lots of drugs!

Raw Drugs

"Raw drugs" are any regular crop in vanilla minecraft that can be sold as a drug. This includes items like wheat, sugar, netherwart, etc. Selling these items is a good way to get your drug empire started.

Tip: Drug combinations are made with raw drugs, so even if you have no drug formulas yet, it can be beneficial to look at the combinations and make your first farm based on which combination(s) you plan to unlock!

Each raw drug has a drug name. For example, wheat is "High Quality Weed". It's a good idea to familiarize yourself with the drug names. You can easily view all of the drug names at any time in-game with /drugnames.

Tip: Farms can take a while to set up, so it's best to start out by growing only one type of crop. Sugar cane grows fast and is easy to farm.

Drug Combinations

Selling raw drugs will only get you so far. For an even greater profit, you'll have to start selling drug combination. These are combinations of raw drugs, and sometimes other ingredients, which will always sell for more than the sum of their components.

Drug combinations are crafted in the /druglab menu.

To make a drug combination, you must first have the right drug formula. See below for more info on drug formulas.

Drug Formulas

Drug formulas give you access to craft drug combinations in /druglab. To unlock a drug formula, you must redeem one Blank Drug Formula in /formulashop. This will give you a voucher item, which you can use to unlock access to craft the drug combination.

You don't start off with any Blank Drug Formulas, but you'll receive some for your first few rank-ups, and then they are occasionally rewarded for further rank-ups.
