TheTycoon

Turn a flat world into a persistent multiplayer tycoon. Players claim reusable plots, place personal animated minions, improve production, complete missions, prestige and grow an economy — no resource pack required.

• 80 configurable minion types — Mining, farming, wood, Nether, End and advanced rare resources.
• Animated personal minions — Player heads, material-specific armor colors and tools.
• Reusable protected plots — Released on logout while progression remains safely saved.
• Persistent relocation — Levels, storage and relative positions return on the next claimed plot.
• 15 minion levels — Every level improves production speed and market value.
• Up to 256 minions per player — Configurable slot progression and bulk placement.
• Offline earnings — Configurable 75% production value with no required online session.
• Built-in Vault economy — Persistent balances and administrative money commands.
• Prestige, missions and rankings — Long-term progression with permanent bonuses.
• Configurable scoreboard — Reorder lines and use live built-in placeholders.
• Four languages — English, Spanish, French and Portuguese with personal selection.

• Minions are automatically sorted from cheapest to most expensive.
• Every entry shows buy price, individual sell value and base production time.
• Select quantities of x1, x2, x3, x4, x8, x16 or x32 before purchasing.
• Inventory space and total price are validated before money is withdrawn.
• All 80 definitions are data-driven and can be edited or extended in config.yml.

• Open a minion menu with left or right click.
• View level, storage, speed, unit value and total stored value.
• Preview exact upgrade price, next level, new speed and new market value.

Minion production is independent from Armor Stand rendering. Hidden minions continue working normally.

• Distance-based dynamic entity rendering.
• Configurable per-plot and server-wide visual budgets.
• Default global maximum of 256 rendered minion Armor Stands.
• Batched animations and configurable update intervals.
• Periodic data saves instead of writing thousands of entries every second.
• Master switch to disable visual optimization and restore full rendering.

Administrators generate balanced square plot grids. The generator supports configurable plot size, roads, materials, floor count, floor height and upper-floor material. Bulk placement automatically searches every configured floor. Existing plots are never rebuilt automatically, protecting player constructions.

Players use /tycoon tp to find a free plot and /tycoon claim to begin.
