[Poll] Shop Plugin!

[Danny 2232]

Be aware: Depending on the way Item Frames are coded in the next update this may not be possible - however, chances are - it will.

So, we've been without an actual Shop Plugin for quite a while now - and people have been quite upset about it. With the next update of Minecraft comes 'Item Frames'. We can use these in the same way we've used shelves and chests as automatic stores in the past.

In the examples below I am selling/buying 100 arrows for 0.5 minas each.

Selling Items

- Firstly the player wishing to create a store must actually place an item frame:

- If the user places the frame normally then the frame is placed normally, and no shop is created.

- If the user shift-places the item frame then a shop is created and the user is able to stock their store with things.

If the user has made a shop the Item frame displays another message: ‘Please right click with the item you would like to sell here!’ (The player should make the stack the size of the amount he wants to stock, e.g. if he wants to sell 4 diamonds, he makes a 4 diamond stack and right clicks)

Once the user right clicks on the Item Frame with the item he wishes to sell, he is shown the following message: “Please enter the price you would like to sell this item for:”

Once the price the user wants to sell the item(s) for is entered, the user is shown “Shop Created: 100x Arrows for 0.5 Mina each.” etc.

In order to restock the shop the user right clicks with the stores item type and it is added to the stock. If the user right clicks with any other type of item they get a “Please enter the new price:” message where they can type ‘cancel’ if they misclicked.

When selling items the money is sent directly to your bank account - you do not receive a note or emeralds.

You can only delete your own store, which is done by simply holding shift and left clicking. Once you remove your shop you are shown a message “Your store was deleted, and it’s stock returned to your inventory!”.

In order for a shop owner to view a message saying “Your store has 100 arrows in stock and is selling them for 0.5 minas each” the shop owner Shift+Right clicks.

To temporarily close your store the price can be set to -1, which means nobody can purchase anything until you raise it again.

Buying Items

Purchasing items is done by right clicking on the item frame, which will show “This store (owned by <mcname>) sells arrows for 0.5 minas each, there are 100 arrows in stock. Please hold Shift and Left Click for 1 item, or right for 10:”. The message explains what it’d need to do there.

Once an item is bought the user who purchased the item is shown “You bought 100x Arrow for 0.5 Minas each from Huurk”. Huurk (the shop owner in this scenario) is shown “rittsy purchased 100x arrow for 0.5 minas each from you”.

When purchasing items the money is taken from the emeralds/notes you have with you - not from your bank account.

NOTES:

Only GMs are able to delete any store via the /delstore command and right clicking.

This would not be a VIP perk - anyone could use it.

If only GM's can remove store, I forsee a lot of rage. <- read that wrong. Also, item frames are a sweet cosmetic item, if they are only able to be used a shops, I will cry.

Bank accounts only hold 10k minas at the moment, what will happen if someone buys so much stuff it goes over the limit?

Also: FIRST!

Read the entire thing.

Anyone can remove their own shops, GMs can remove any.

We'll find a way around Bank Accounts.

Yes! Bring it back! Make it possible FOR ALL PLAYERS!:D

I like this idea but there is a problem. you say you have to do something special to delete it right? well what if someone or you just regularly break it? does it say "you dont own this shop" or something?

Sounds amazing! Also like the sound of it not just being for Donators!

You can't destroy a shop by left clicking on it - as left clicking has functions for either party. The owner for removing stock, the customer for seeing what the stock is. If you do hold down to destroy it - it wont destroy.

If you decide to do it for the general public.. what about having a limit of them.. like normal players get like 5.. Iron vip's get 10, Gold 15 stores.. and so on? What do you think? That way everyone wins.

There will of course be a limit for normal members, yes. With VIPs having more.

Looks awesome. I agree that VIP's should have more shops if not unlimited.

[Lyuin 65]

I agree with this idea. It will make much more intresting shops. Especially weaponsmiths. Because now you'll actully have the little glass frames where the items held under key and lock much like a real weapon store. I APPROVE!

Will each shop only be able to sell one item, or several like the previous shop plugin?

[Elfen_ 232]

I would like to say the next minecraft version will not be out for a month or so.

Each shop will stock one item. Meaning you'll just need to place multiple frames.

Gives us more time to totally decide on the system, does it not?
