Contraband (coke)
Not on the server yet. This page describes the contraband system that is being built for a future pack. The numbers below are the starting settings and may change before it goes live.
Indigo is a roleplay server, and every good city needs a cartel. This is the coke side of it (weed comes from Smokeleaf). It is all fiction for the game: the steps are Create machines and a made-up reagent, nothing like the real thing.
Getting started: seeds
Section titled “Getting started: seeds”Head to a jungle and break grass or ferns by hand. About 1 in 10 drops Coca Seeds. Shears don’t work.
Plant them on farmland, like wheat. Bone meal speeds them up. A fully grown Coca Bush has little red berries and drops 2 to 4 Coca Leaves (Fortune gives more) plus seeds to replant.
The cook
Section titled “The cook”You need a working Create setup: a Millstone, a Mixer over a Basin with a Blaze Burner under it, and a Mechanical Press over a Basin.
| Step | Machine | Put in | Get out |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Crafting table | Lapis Lazuli + Sugar + Glowstone Dust | 2 Indigo Reagent |
| 2 | Millstone | Coca Leaf | Leaf Mash (sometimes 2) |
| 3 | Mixer, heated | 3 Leaf Mash + 1 Indigo Reagent + some water | Coca Paste |
| 4 | Press over a Basin | 4 Coca Paste | Coke Brick |
| 5 | Crafting table | 1 Coke Brick + 8 Paper | 8 Coke Baggies |
A brick takes roughly ten leaves, so plan on a decent farm. Hoppers, belts and funnels all work, so you can automate the whole line.
Using it
Section titled “Using it”Hold right-click with a Coke Baggie:
- Rush (45 seconds): Speed II and Haste II. Great for running, mining and getting away.
- Comedown (40 seconds, right after): Slowness and Hunger.
- Doing another one while you’re still up or coming down hits you with Nausea and Weakness on top. Pace yourself.
- Milk cancels the rush and skips the comedown.
Selling it
Section titled “Selling it”Staff place Buyers around the map. You can’t make one yourself, so you’ll have to find them.
Right-click a buyer while holding Coke Bricks or Coke Baggies. They take as many as they can afford and pay you straight into your Indigo wallet.
| What | Buyer pays |
|---|---|
| Coke Brick | 25 IC |
| Coke Baggie | 4 IC each (8 baggies = 32 IC, so bagging pays a little more) |
The buyers have limits:
- You can sell up to 300 IC a day.
- Everyone together can sell up to 2,000 IC a day, so if a rival cartel has already cleaned the buyers out, you wait for tomorrow (days reset at midnight UTC).
- Right-click a buyer with an empty hand, or type
/contraband status, to see the prices and how much you can still sell today. - Creative mode can’t sell.
Watch out for cops
Section titled “Watch out for cops”Leaves, mash, paste, bricks and baggies all count as contraband. When the police system goes live, officers will be able to search for it and seize it, and getting caught can mean jail time. Seeds and Indigo Reagent are legal to carry.
For staff
Section titled “For staff”/contraband buyer spawnputs a buyer where you stand, facing you. Add coordinates and a name if you like:/contraband buyer spawn ~ ~ ~ Old Pete./contraband buyer removeremoves the nearest buyer within 8 blocks.- Prices and daily limits live in
