Admin Abuse is a developer-run live event in the Roblox game Mine a Mountain, built by 10K Steps, that switches on temporary boosts you cannot get during normal play. It runs on a fixed weekly rhythm, every Saturday at 10:00 AM ET (2:00 PM UTC), and lasts about one hour. The most recent session took place on Saturday, August 29, 2026.
Quick answer: The next Admin Abuse is set for Saturday, September 5, 2026, at 10:00 AM ET (2:00 PM UTC). Log in a few minutes early with your best pickaxe equipped and an empty backpack to use the full hour.

Bonuses active during Admin Abuse
Each session stacks several temporary effects at once so you can mine faster and pull higher-value crystals than usual. The exact mix can change from week to week, but the recurring bonuses are listed below.
| Bonus | Effect |
|---|---|
| More Pickaxe Power | Breaks through rock faster |
| Extra Backpack Space | Carry more crystals before selling |
| No Fall Damage | Drop from high ground without dying |
| Crazy Crystals | Rare, high-value crystals appear |
| Special Weathers | Weather effects that raise crystal value and mutations |
Some weeks also bring developer-triggered extras such as Admin Nukes, meteor showers, bomb drops, increased Luck, and returning crystals like Bloodstone. None of these are guaranteed at every event.
Radioactive mutation and Admin Nukes
When an Admin Nuke goes off, affected crystals can gain the Radioactive mutation. It is one of the main reasons players show up. An Admin Nuke is not certain to appear, so treat it as a possible highlight rather than a scheduled feature.
| Radioactive stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Mutation chance for affected crystals | 30% |
| Sale-value multiplier | 2.5x |
| Plot Luck | 2x |
Radioactive can stack with another mutation, which pushes the value of an already strong crystal even higher.
How to prepare before the event starts
You will know the event is running when the boosts appear on your character and the server announces the change. Once the hour ends, Pickaxe Power, backpack size, and the special crystals and weathers return to their normal state, so bank anything valuable before the timer runs out.
