Item Shop
The Item Shop is referencing the Cultivate Shop, in which you can buy various materials and items with in game money for added convenience. You can access this menu via /shop. The main purpose of this article is to outline the categories and main uses of the shop.

The main philosophy that is adhered to on Cultivate: Survival in regard to Item Shop balance is to create a version of the shop which is moderately challenging, but has a wide selection of items and is stable in price. Survival is meant to be a more casual gamemode, and uselessly grinding for items is not something that is in the best interest of the player due to the other elements of the game that require grinding.
As for Skyblock, the gamemode is meant to be a bit more difficult and a change of pace from Survival. The Item Shop here will be less helpful, and typically more costly. There will still be quite a large selection of items available, and some of the items are ones which are actually very beneficial to progression. Grinding for items is a pretty prominent part of Skyblock in it's current state. This explanation of Skyblock is subject to change very soon.
