Player Shops
Put a chest up for sale and let it trade for you, online or not.

Making one
- Place a chest where you want the shop.
- Hold the item you want to trade.
- Left-click the chest.
- Type the price in chat, and choose whether you're selling to players or buying from them.
That's it, and creating a shop costs nothing at all. Prices must be whole numbers, so 3 is accepted and 2.5 is rejected. A sign appears above the chest automatically, displaying the item, the remaining stock and the price.
A single trade can deliver several items at once. Choose the stack size while
creating the shop, and every customer then receives that quantity for your
price. You can go up to 99 items in one trade, which is more than a full stack, by looking at your own shop and typing /qs size 99.
Where you can put one
One requirement decides this:
- You need build rights there: your own plot, or a town plot your mayor has given you rights on. If you can place the chest, you can make it a shop.
If clicking a chest produces no response at all, this is almost always the explanation: you are standing on land that you have no claim to.
Using one
- Trading at someone's shop: right-click it. Anyone can trade at any shop, wherever it is.
- Managing your own: left-click it. That's where you change the price, switch between buying and selling, or remove it.
- Restocking: a selling shop trades out of its own chest, so keep it filled. An empty shop just doesn't trade.
Where the money goes
The chest stores the merchandise, never the money. You receive the full price
immediately, whether or not you are online, so there is
nothing to collect afterwards. A buying shop operates in reverse and
suspends trading the moment your balance is exhausted. Check your balance
with /balance.
Worth knowing
- If the plot your shop stands on is cleared or unclaimed, the shop goes with it. Empty the chest before you let a plot go.
- A mayor can manage any shop on their own town's land. A king can manage any shop in their nation. That includes yours.
Selling brews
Seal a brew with /brew seal before you stock it: unsealed
bottles do not stack, so every bottle takes a chest slot of its own. Sealed bottles stack when they share a recipe and a quality rating, up to 9 to a stack.
Everything else about brewing: Brews.
