If you are sent to the Locker, you will need to break sand and exchange this sand for “Sand dollars” with Davy Jones on the pirate ship that you spawn on, this is the way you pay your way out of the locker.
* You get a fresh empty inventory in the Locker world
* There is no food or tools in the Locker.
* You cant talk or use commands in the Locker.
* You have to get yourself out of the Locker by collecting sand and paying your way out with Sand Dollars, there is no other way out of the Locker.
* You can be sent back into the locker to have to pay a higher sand dollar cost!
* The locker can be seen on the<span></span>[https://map.piratemc.com/?worldname=locker&mapname=surface&zoom=4&x=-35&y=64&z=61 live map].
