PinnaMC Store Guide: How Credits Work and How to Use Them

The PinnaMC store at store.pinnamc.com sells credits, a currency you spend in-game through the /shop menu. You sign in with your Minecraft username, choose a pack, and the credits are delivered automatically to your account in-game, usually within a minute. Every purchase helps keep the server running.

PinnaMC (play.pinnamc.com) is a Prison OP Minecraft server with automatic multi-language support (it plays in your own language), running on its own in-house prison core, PinnaPrison. This guide explains exactly how the PinnaMC store works so you know what you are buying before you spend anything.

What are PinnaMC credits?

Credits are PinnaMC's store currency. Instead of buying individual items on the website, you buy credits on the store and then decide in-game what to spend them on.

This approach has a few advantages:

• You choose in-game. You can see what you are getting, in context, before you spend.
• No rush. Credits stay on your account until you decide to use them.
• One simple currency. No confusing list of dozens of website packages.
• Easy to gift. Credits make a great present for a friend who plays.

Credits are separate from the in-game currencies you earn by mining, like money or tokens. Those you earn by playing; credits come from the store.

How the PinnaMC store works

Step 1: sign in with your Minecraft username

Go to store.pinnamc.com and sign in with your Minecraft username. Type it exactly as it appears in-game, since that is the account the credits will be delivered to.

Step 2: choose a credit pack

Pick the credit pack that suits you. Prices are shown on the store itself, and you can check them there at any time.

Step 3: pay and receive your credits

Complete the checkout. Your credits are then delivered automatically in-game, usually within a minute. No need to open a ticket or wait for a staff member.

Step 4: spend them with /shop

Join play.pinnamc.com and type /shop. The menu shows everything you can spend credits on. And since PinnaMC translates menus automatically, the shop appears in the language your Minecraft client uses, whether that is French, English, Spanish or another supported language. Read more on the languages page.

Gifting credits to a friend

Want to treat a friend? You can gift credits from the store. Instead of your own username, you enter your friend's Minecraft username, and the credits are delivered to their account. It is an easy present for birthdays, for a gang mate who carried the team, or just to welcome someone new to the server.

Double-check the spelling of their username before paying, so the credits reach the right person.

Why buy credits? Supporting the server

Running a Minecraft server costs money every month: hosting, development, and the time spent building systems like PinnaPrison, with its private mines, 40+ pickaxe enchants, rebirth skill tree and gangs. Credit purchases go directly toward keeping PinnaMC online and improving it.

When you buy credits, you help:

• Keep the server online and lag-free.
• Fund new features and updates. See what already exists on the features page.
• Grow the community for players everywhere, whatever language they speak.

Fair play: is PinnaMC pay-to-win?

No. The core game on PinnaMC is fully playable for free. You can mine, rank up, rebirth, level your pickaxe, build a gang and climb the leaderboards without spending anything. The store is there for players who want to support the server and enjoy some extras, not as a requirement to progress.

If you want free boosts, the best option is voting daily, which gives in-game rewards and helps the server grow.

Tips before you buy

• Check your username. It is the number one cause of "where are my credits?" questions.
• Open /shop first. Join the server and look at the shop so you know what you want before buying.
• Ask on Discord. If you are unsure about anything, ask the community or staff on the Discord.
• Buy only what you are comfortable with. Supporting the server is appreciated at any level, including simply voting and inviting friends.
• Younger players: ask a parent or guardian before making a purchase.

Credits and the in-game economy

Credits live alongside, not instead of, the economy you build by playing. Money, tokens, gems and the other in-game currencies still come from mining, enchants, rebirths and gang upgrades. That keeps the leaderboards and the gang top about how much you play, while credits let supporters pick up extras from /shop at their own pace.

If your credits do not arrive

Credits are usually delivered within a minute. If they do not show up:

1. Make sure you are connected to play.pinnamc.com with the same username you used on the store.
2. Wait a few minutes and reconnect.
3. If there is still nothing, contact staff on the Discord with your username and purchase details.
