This network does
not run itself.
Own machine. Own worlds. Own code. 120 hours a week, one rack, one developer. Shop and ranks keep it alive. What that costs a month sits further down.

Not a shared host. A rack.
All of Minecraft runs on a Dell PowerEdge R740xd. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4214, 24 cores, 48 threads, 2.2 GHz base, turbo up to about 3.2 GHz, about 252 GB RAM. Each world sits on its own machine. The rest of the host holds website, data and backups.

The worlds hold about 14 vCPU and about 71 GB RAM. In the coming weeks two new CPUs, then 80 cores. We say the day first. About half a day down on that day.
The most expensive part is not in the rack.
21,000-30,000 €
market / month · three full-time jobs, one person
120 hours a week is about 520 hours a month. Three 40-hour jobs one person does alone: plugins, worlds, website, app, Discord, tickets, tick time. Nexus does this themselves. The shop does not pay out three salaries. That is the market if the network is to keep running this way.
Company full cost, EU
One senior dev role roughly 7,000-10,000 € a month, gross plus employer share. Times three: 21,000-30,000 € development only.
If you bought the hours
Freelance 60-90 €/h times 520 hours: 31,000-47,000 € a month. Buying in, not what Nexus pays. The yardstick if nobody does this themselves.
Visibility has a monthly price.
400-600 €
every month · YouTube, clips, production
Edit, clips, production and similar running items. Extra, next to hardware and code. Without it Nexus City stays invisible.

What pulls the most.
What feeds the network.
Ranks, crystals, cases, pass, founder, donations. The shop is fuel. Voting helps without money.
Ranks and perks
Monthly ranks and lifetime. Speed and comfort, not a required buy.
Crystals, cases, AstralPass
Premium currency and season stuff. The same things stay earnable.
Founder and donations
If you want to back extra, without a forced rank.
Vote and community
Voting costs no money and still helps. Lists, reach, daily crate.
Short and clear.
Why ranks and crystals then?
Because the network does not run on air. Shop and ranks pay for power, hardware, updates and video. Everything that matters stays earnable. Money cuts time, it is not the only door.
Are 120 hours a week real?
Yes. One developer, full week plus nights: plugins, worlds, website, app, Discord, support and performance. About 520 hours a month. Three full-time jobs in one person.
What do 21,000 to 30,000 euros mean?
Market, not a payslip. One senior dev role in the EU costs a company roughly 7,000-10,000 euros a month. Three roles: 21,000-30,000. Nexus does this themselves. The shop does not pay out three salaries. That is the market if the network is to keep running this way.
What do 400 to 600 euros of video mean?
Every month a fixed range goes into YouTube, clips and production. Extra, next to hardware and code. Without it Nexus City stays invisible.
Are power and the tax advisor real invoices?
No. Hardware, uplink and tax advisor are rough monthly ranges (operations about 350-800 euros, company 200-400 euros). Video 400-600 euros and the market figure for development are the clear blocks. VAT on shop buys goes to the state.
Do I have to buy?
No. Voting costs nothing. Playing keeps the network alive. The shop is speed, not the ticket in.
