How a Rift Run Works

Inside the Rift you mine through a series of rounds for as long as your daily time lasts.

Continuous rounds

• Each round runs for about 90 seconds, followed by a short ~5-second pause while a fresh mine is prepared, then the next round begins.
• Rounds keep cycling endlessly while anyone is inside — there's no fixed number of waves any more.
• When the Rift empties, the rotation stops and the mine regenerates, so the next person to enter starts clean at round 1.

You earn points by mining ore — see Rift Points & Shards for the values and special blocks.

While you're inside

• You're fully invincible — nothing in the Rift can hurt you.
• You can't drop the Rift pickaxe or pick items up, and most commands are blocked. /rift leave always works.
• Your personal boosters auto-pause on entry and resume when you leave, so you don't waste booster time mining a kit pickaxe.

Leaving, and what happens if you crash

• Leaving (/rift leave, running out of time, or a staff close) restores your stored inventory and sends you to spawn.
• If you disconnect, crash, or the server reboots while inside, your inventory is handed back automatically the next time you log in on any server — nothing is lost.

Version history

v2.0.0

• Rift rounds now cycle continuously while anyone is inside (the mine regenerates each round) instead of a fixed three-wave event; the rotation pauses and resets when the Rift empties.
• Your inventory is restored on exit and auto-recovered after a disconnect, crash, or reboot; boosters auto-pause while you're inside.
