Mine Theft Auto: Vice City releases on November 6, 2026. It's free to join on Minecraft Java Edition, and every new player starts with cash in their pocket. Pick a class, grab a car, and be in Vice City on day one.
Want a head start? Watch the trailer on the home page, find your class with the quiz, and read the how-to-play guide so you know exactly what to do the moment you join.
Racecar 7, Police Interceptor 2, Police Helicopter 2 (one per officer) and Military Jet 1 are the most that can be out in the city at once. You can buy and carry as many as you want; you just can't place one while the limit is reached, and the moment one goes away, whoever holds one can take the slot.
The Racecar does 18, airplanes up to 20, the helicopter 14, and the police Interceptor 19 so officers can catch the fastest civilian car. The Military Jet tops out at 22.
Pick Taxi Driver at the class menu or the Hospital NPC. Sit in any vehicle, write /taxi 250 and every passenger pays you the fare every 30 seconds until they get out. Need a ride? Write /taxi and every taxi driver is alerted with your position.
Plots build 8 blocks up and 8 down from ground level. What you've already built outside the range stays and can still be used, you just can't place new blocks there.
Every other potion is gone, and potions that aren't on the list can't be used. Healing potions share a 12-second cooldown, and milk and honey no longer cure an infection.
Some areas of Vice City are now no-vehicle zones: vehicles stop at the border and can't be placed inside. You can no longer rob (/rob) or infect (/infect) somebody who is sitting in a vehicle, and there are no-infect zones where infecting doesn't work. Grand Theft Auto now gives its star once each time a vehicle changes hands, not every time you get back into the same car, and vehicles no longer announce who owns them.
At 4 or 5 wanted stars a police officer can pull a vehicle over: right-click it with the Stick and stay within 3.5 blocks for 3 seconds (4 at 5 stars). Everyone is thrown out and nobody can get back in for 8 seconds, so the cuff has time to finish. A driver can't be pulled over again for 30 seconds. The Stick, and bows, now also work from inside a vehicle. A car now breaks after 2 iron-sword hits or 4 arrows (police vehicles: 4 hits or 8 arrows). One more thing for officers: changing class or making an illegal kill now sends you back to the lowest police rank.
While you have wanted stars you can't place or break blocks in a house you own or hold a key to. Police can now use the doors, trapdoors, gates, buttons, levers and pressure plates of every player's house to follow a chase inside. Chests stay closed to them, even with a lockpick.
Moving your own savings with /withdraw and /deposit is never income. Real income is taxed as before. One thing to know: the wealth-tax check now counts your bank balance as well as your cash, as it was always meant to.
You can still send cash to anyone standing within 3 blocks with /transfer.
From the moment you start a /robbery until you reach the escape point (or time runs out) your wanted level can't fade and you can't bribe your way out. Police can still arrest you. Payouts now grow with the number of players online: normal robberies pay up to $500,000, banks up to $1,500,000, and the full amount is paid when 50 players are online. A robbery now gives at least 4 stars.
The Police Garage and Police Aviation NPCs sell police-only cars, an Apache helicopter (only 2 in the city) and the Military Jet (only 1), the only vehicle that shoots. Suspects inside a vehicle can't be cuffed, so police pull the car over with the Stick (stay close for 3 seconds) and the driver is thrown out.
You can put a placed vehicle back into your inventory on demand only while standing inside your own house or rented room. Out in the city, a vehicle nobody has sat in for 5 minutes returns to your inventory by itself. You can keep the vehicle item in chests, and you can sell a car you stole or just drove with /vsell.
Visit the Vehicle Dealer NPC for bikes, cars, sports cars, boats and delivery trucks, and the Airfield for planes and helicopters.
Top speed is 15 blocks a second. Lock yours with /lk; steal an unlocked one for a star, or be a Car Jacker and break locks. Destroy someone's ride and it costs you two stars. Deliveries now run in delivery trucks and taxis in any vehicle.
Owners can carve rooms out of their house (/house room wand, then /house room create <name> <price>) and list them on the For Rent tab of /hmarket. Rent is charged per real day, the first day is taken at once, and renters who stop paying get evicted.
Renters can open doors, chests, levers and buttons in their room, but never build, and they get a Room Menu (/roominv) with room storage and keys.
The catch: a Lockpick from the General Store NPC lets anyone try a door or chest in someone else's house or rented room. It alerts the owner, the room's renter and every cop online. Renting a whole house no longer exists. It's rooms only.
Walk to the centre of a house someone owns, stand perfectly still, and you might walk out with a cut of its cash vault. Move and the whole thing is cancelled.
The owner has to be online, and both the owner and the police get the alert the moment you start.
Open /invest, pick a company and buy in with the quick-buy buttons. You can sell whenever you like. Prices move once per in-game day, and winning or losing streaks build momentum, so timing is half the game.
It's the safer, slower cousin of a bank job. Put your cash to work while you dodge the cops.
Holdup spots around the city let you rob a store with /holdup. Cash trickles in while you stay perfectly still. If you move, the holdup ends, but you keep what you've already grabbed.
Police can't do holdups, and payouts follow the city's faction balance: outnumbered cops means smaller scores.
Pick a number with /lotto, and one winner takes the jackpot at the daily draw. No winner? The jackpot rolls over and keeps growing (/jackpot shows it).
Every day a hidden money bag spawns somewhere in the city and a hint with coordinates is broadcast. Search the area and /pickup before it vanishes.
Planted drug crops now give off bright green particles that anyone can spot. Police can right-click a plant to confiscate it and collect a reward.
Anyone else who right-clicks a plant steals it: they earn a wanted star and no drugs, and the owner is notified.
Grab a Fishing Permit and a rod from the General Store NPC and fish for cash. Fish without a permit and you earn a wanted star. Cops can't fish at all.
Rods are permanent. If you ever lose one, /myitems rod <name> gets it back.
Talk to the Parachute NPC, pick a destination and skydive in. There's no fall damage until you land.
It's blocked once you're at four wanted stars or higher, so you can't parachute out of a chase.
Weapons, potion, items and drug dealers restock at the Wholesale NPC, and each class can only open the shop for its own stock.
Wholesale stock is trade-tagged: you can't use it yourself. You sell it on, at your own prices.
