The shop is where your CuCoins and CuCrystals turn into new Cubees, snacks, habitats and Cubik keys. Open it from the Shop tile on the /cubees menu, or go straight there with /cushop. See Currencies for how to earn what you spend here.
The shop front
The shop front has your Cubee's Wallet in the top corner and one button for each category:
- Cubees: new companions.
- Items: snacks and oddments.
- Habitats License: licences to build habitats, and permits for more habitat plots.
- Cubiks: keys that open reward Cubiks.
The Wallet shows your CuCoin and CuCrystal balances. Hold CuCoins or a CuCrystal and click it to deposit them into your wallet.
Inside a category
Each category holds up to 225 products, over five pages of 45. The bottom row has:
- the Wallet, which also shows which category you are browsing
- quick buttons for the other three categories
- the Page button: left-click for the next page, right-click for the previous one
- a Back button to the shop front
Every product tile shows:
- its name and up to three lines about it
- a quantity line (not shown for Cubees)
- its price, with two ways to pay
- a sale line while a sale is running
- "This product cannot be purchased." when the product is switched off, or when you do not meet its requirement yet
Paying
Every product has two ways to pay, listed under its price as Left and Right. Each way can cost CuCoins, CuCrystals, or both together.
- Left-click the tile to pay the first way.
- Right-click the tile to pay the second way.
- A way that costs nothing at all is not offered, and clicking it tells you so.
If you are short, the chat tells you which currency you lack and nothing is taken. When a purchase goes through, a level-up sound plays and the chat confirms what you bought and what you paid.
The shop does not check what you already own. Buying a Cubee or a habitat permit you already have just spends the money again, so look before you click.
What each category sells
What is on the shelves is up to your server, so your shop may look different from someone else's. Here is what each category is for.
Cubees
Buying a Cubee unlocks it for good. Find it in your Cubees List and summon it like any other.
Items
Snacks for feeding your Cubees, and other useful things. If your server uses the ready-made stock, all 30 snacks are here, in packs of 8, from 60 to 210 CuCoins a pack. To see which snack a Cubee loves, and which it hates, right-click it in the Cubees List to open its full card.
The ready-made stock also sells products that take CuCoins back out of your wallet as coin items, at face value: 16 Copper, 8 Silver or 4 Golden CuCoins at a time.
Habitats License
Everything you need for habitats:
- Licences for the eleven habitat designs: Underwater, Cave, Cloudy, Cursed Forest, Desert, Ender, Frozen, Grassland, Magical, Nether and Space. In the ready-made stock each costs 2,000 CuCoins, and you need your Habitat Slot 1 permit before you can buy one.
- Habitat Slot permits 1 to 25, one for each habitat plot. Slot 1 is open to everyone; every later permit needs the one before it, so you buy them in order. In the ready-made stock they run from 1,000 CuCoins for Slot 1 up to 95,100 for Slot 25.
The full permit price list, and how to build, are in Habitats.
Cubiks
Cubiks are reward boxes that your server places around the world. Each Cubik opens only with its own key, and this category is where the keys are sold. A Cubik shows the Cubees it can give and the chance of each, coloured by rarity, though a server can keep some of them secret.
- Hold the Cubik's key and right-click the Cubik. With the wrong key, or none, it pushes you back and tells you which key it wants.
- The key is used up, the Cubik opens, and it rolls one of its Cubees. Each prize has a rarity: Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary or Supreme.
- If the Cubee is new to you, it is yours for good. Epic and rarer finds are announced to the whole server.
- If you already own that Cubee, you get the Cubik's consolation prize instead, often CuCoins, or nothing at all.
See Cubiks for more on reading the odds and opening them.
Sales
Keep an eye out: server staff can start sales, and the Shop tile on the /cubees menu reminds you that they are timed. A product on sale shows a sale line with its discount and how many seconds the sale had left when the page opened.
- The tile keeps showing the full price. The discount comes off when you buy, whichever way you pay, rounded down.
- The chat confirms that a sale was applied.
- Each sale runs for its own length of time, then the price goes back to normal.
