This new update (BlockStreet v2.6.0) includes bug fixes and a new feature requested by the BlockStreet community:
- Feature: Starting with this update, the UI items will auto-update to reflect updates in the Companies' stock. This works both for the Investments and Companies UIs.
- Fix: The history of the companies is no longer inverted.
- Fix: Right-clicking on a BlockStreet sign will now (once again) display information about the company in the chat.
Happy Trading! :)
This new update - BlockStreet v2.5.2 - introduces configurable settings that enable admins to have more fine-grained control over investments on their server. Administrators are now capable of:
- Configuring a minimum balance that the player must have after buying shares
- This value is defined as a percentage of the total value of the player's portfolio in order to be fair to all players.
- Configuring a total maximum number of shares that a player can hold.
- This prevents one group of wealthy players from acquiring all shares of all companies, leaving poorer players without a chance to invest.
Happy Trading!!
This new update – BlockStreet v2.5.0 – brings a new feature requested by the BlockStreet community - Player-driven Companies - as well as fixes for some important bugs.
Server & Player Companies
You can now create two distinct types of companies within your server:
Server Companies Created by server administrators, these companies are open to all players with no creation fees or taxes. They can’t be deleted or fully owned by players, making them ideal for permanent, server-wide investments.
Player Companies Players can now start their own companies! To do so, they’ll need to pay the full valuation of the company plus a configurable risk-based tax. This creates new opportunities for entrepreneurial players to build their own stock empires.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug where deleted company IDs could be reused, causing ownership conflicts.
- Fixed an issue with parsing company risk values — 0 is now properly rejected.
- Fixed share price only being accepted if it ended up with a decimal part.
- Fixed the Portfolio UI investment item showing incorrect (negative) values when selling stocks.
Happy Trading :)
This new update - BlockStreet v2.4.0 - brings a new cool mechanic asked by the BlockStreet community in our Discord server:
Market Crashes & Company Bankruptcies
Under certain conditions, certain stocks may crash, and certain companies may become bankrupt (and worthless). Companies with higher risk are more subject to crashes and bankruptcies. Although enabled by default, this mechanism can be disabled through configuration.
- If a company is trading below a certain percentage of its original price, then, there is a certain probability (configurable) for the company's stocks to crash. This probability will be higher for companies with higher risk!
- Whenever the stocks of a company crash, the value of each stock will become 0 and the company will be marked as bankrupt.
- Players can still sell their stocks (although they'll be worthless) but can no longer buy stocks from a bankrupt company.
- Server administrators can use the command
/invest delete [companyId]
to delete the bankrupt company.
Happy Trading!
This new update - BlockStreet v2.3.0 - brings some new simple features and also fixes some existing issues, namely:
Portfolio Summary Item: A new item is available on top of the Portfolio GUI. This item provides an overview of the player's investments, providing information, among others, about the total value of the player's investments.
Extra Stock Buy Button: A new button to buy stocks was introduced in the Companies GUI, allowing players to buy 100 stocks at once, instead of just 10.
Formatting Issues: Fixed formatting issues with stock prices when the value was too big, which led to prices not being properly displayed on signs. Now, the plugin converts this value to a more human-readable format. For example, if a stock is worth 1 million, it will now show 1 M, instead of 1 000 000.
Happy Trading :)
