Market

A unified, GUI-only marketplace plugin for Minecraft Paper/Purpur. Shipped as two jars from the same source: +mc1.21.11 for 1.21.x and +mc26.2 for 26.2.

One command (/market) opens a hub GUI with three main sections: Server Market — Buy/sell any item from the server at fixed prices (large spread encourages player trading) Community Market — Player-to-player fixed-price listings Auctions — Player-to-player bidding with anti-snipe protection

Plus: Claim Storage, Earnings Withdrawal, My Listings/Auctions, Admin Panel — all GUI-driven.

Features

Server Market

• Every item in the game available for buy/sell
• Category-based GUI (Blocks, Ores, Farming, Food, Mob Drops, Redstone, Decoration, Tools, Combat, Brewing, Misc)
• Search, pagination, quantity selector (-32/-16/-8/-1 / +1/+8/+16/+32 / MIN/MAX)
• Large spread between buy/sell prices (default 75%) to keep the Community Market valuable
• Three ways to sell, all reachable from /sell (also /vender): the inventory grid, the item in your hand, or a nearby chest, barrel, shulker or ender chest
• Selling is per item, not per material — a Power V bow and a plain bow are two entries at two prices, and selling one never takes the other
• Durability-based pricing — worn items sell for less (up to -50%), with Mending/Unbreaking adjustments
• Enchantment bonus pricing — enchanted items sell for more (a configurable % of each enchantment's store buy price)
• Enchanted books are worth the sum of their enchantments — Efficiency V + Unbreaking III + Fortune III is priced as all three
• Dedicated Armor Row in Sell Inventory — equipped gear is visually separated and protected from accidental sale
• Bulk sales hold back enchanted, renamed and modded gear by default, and say how many they skipped
• Per-item and per-category price overrides in prices.yml
• Transaction logging to SQLite

Economy: MultiBank Integration

• Uses MultiBank as the sole economy provider (no Vault/Essentials)
• All monetary values handled in cents (long) for precision
• Fully async — economy operations never block the main thread
• Configurable server shop bank account for auditable transfers
• Automatic balance re-check at confirm time to prevent exploits

Community Market (Player Listings)

• Create listings with custom prices and durations
• Browse paginated listings with sorting
• Safe atomic purchases to prevent double-buying
• Configurable taxes on sales

Auction System

• Start auctions with minimum bid and optional buyout price
• Anti-snipe protection extends auction when bids arrive near the end
• Bid history and automatic outbid notifications
• Safe handling of auction endings and payouts

Claim Storage

• Items from expired listings go to claim storage
• Won auction items are safely delivered
• Handles full inventories gracefully

Earnings Management

• Pending earnings from sales accumulate
• Withdraw all earnings at once
• Complete transaction history

Admin Features (GUI-based)

• View all listings and auctions
• Remove any listing or cancel auctions
• Force-end auctions
• Reload configuration in-game

Requirements

Requirement	Version
Server	Paper 1.21.11+ (or Purpur, Folia-compatible forks)
Java	Java 21+
Economy	MultiBank

Economy Setup

Market uses MultiBank for all economy operations:

1. Install MultiBank on your server
2. Create a server shop bank account (default ID: server-shop)
3. Set the account ID in config.yml:

   economy:
     server-account-id: "server-shop"
   

4. Start/restart the server

All server shop transactions (buy/sell) transfer money to/from this dedicated account, providing a full audit trail.

Installation

1. Download the latest market-x.x.x.jar from Modrinth
2. Place it in your server's plugins/ folder
3. Ensure you have an economy system installed (see above)
4. Start or restart your server
5. Edit plugins/Market/config.yml and plugins/Market/prices.yml as needed
6. Use /market to open everything!

Upgrading from CommunityMarket

If you previously used CommunityMarket, the plugin will automatically migrate your data folder (plugins/CommunityMarket/ → plugins/Market/). Your database, configs, and language files are preserved.

Migrating from Vault/Essentials

If you previously used Market with Vault or EssentialsX:

1. Install MultiBank and set up player accounts
2. Remove Vault dependency from your server (if no other plugins need it)
3. Update config.yml with the economy.server-account-id setting
4. Restart the server

Server Shop Pricing (prices.yml)

The server shop uses a large spread model:

Buy Price  = what players PAY to buy from the server
Sell Price = what players RECEIVE when selling to the server
Spread     = (buy - sell) / buy × 100%

Default: sell price = buy price × 0.25 → 75% spread.

A Diamond costs $1,000 to buy, but only $250 when selling back. Players prefer selling to each other on the Community Market!

Configuration hierarchy:

1. Per-item override in prices.yml → overrides:
2. Category default → default-prices: + category sell-multiplier:
3. Global default → config.yml → server-shop.default-sell-multiplier

# Example overrides in prices.yml:
overrides:
  DIAMOND:
    buy-price: 1000.0
  ELYTRA:
    buy-price: 50000.0
    sell-enabled: false
  BEDROCK:
    buy-enabled: false
    sell-enabled: false

Enchantment Pricing

When selling enchanted items to the Server Market, each enchantment adds a bonus:

Bonus per enchantment = Store Buy Price of that enchantment × 25%

Configure enchantment buy prices in prices.yml:

enchant-prices:
  SHARPNESS:
    perLevelBuyCents:
      1: 100000    # $1,000.00
      2: 200000    # $2,000.00
      3: 350000
      4: 600000
      5: 1000000   # $10,000.00
  MENDING:
    buyCents: 2500000  # $25,000.00 (flat, any level)
  UNBREAKING:
    perLevelBuyCents:
      1: 80000
      2: 160000
      3: 300000

Example: A Diamond Sword with Sharpness V and Unbreaking III:

• Base sell price: $250.00 (from config)
• Sharpness V bonus: $10,000 × 25% = +$2,500.00
• Unbreaking III bonus: $3,000 × 25% = +$750.00
• Total before wear: $3,500.00

Durability-Based Sell Pricing

Items with durability (tools, armor, weapons) have their sell price reduced based on wear:

wearRatio = currentDamage / maxDamage
effectiveWear = wearRatio / (UnbreakingLevel + 1)   ← Unbreaking reduces penalty
reduction = effectiveWear × 0.50
finalMultiplier = max(0.50, 1.0 - reduction)         ← Min 50% of base value

Special rules:

• Mending items: durability penalty is completely waived (full value regardless of wear)
• Unbreaking items: effective wear is divided by (level + 1), reflecting that visible damage represents less real usage
• The minimum payout is always 50% of the base sell value (including enchant bonuses)

Example: A half-damaged Diamond Pickaxe (Eff V, Unbreaking III):

• wearRatio = 0.5
• effectiveWear = 0.5 / (3+1) = 0.125
• reduction = 0.125 × 0.50 = 0.0625 → 6.25% penalty
• Player receives 93.75% of full value

Sell Inventory — Equipped Gear Safety

The Sell Inventory GUI has a dedicated top row for equipped gear:

Slot	Content
0	Helmet
1	Chestplate
2	Leggings
3	Boots
4	Offhand/Shield
5–8	Yellow label filler

Default behavior (allow-equipped-selling: false):

• Clicking equipped items shows a warning and does nothing
• Players must unequip gear before selling

Optional (allow-equipped-selling: true):

• Equipped items can be sold but require a 2-step click confirmation
• Shift-clicking is always blocked to prevent accidents

Pack Selectors (Stack Buttons)

The item detail quantity selector includes pack buttons that let players adjust quantity by full stacks at once:

Button	Effect
-4 Stack / +4 Stack	±256 items (for 64-stack items)
-3 Stack / +3 Stack	±192 items
-2 Stack / +2 Stack	±128 items
-1 Stack / +1 Stack	±64 items

Stack size is per-item:

• Most blocks/items: 1 stack = 64 items
• Ender pearls, snowballs, eggs: 1 stack = 16 items
• Non-stackable items (swords, armor, etc.): pack buttons are hidden

Configuration:

gui:
  quantity:
    pack-selectors:
      enabled: true   # Set to false to hide pack buttons entirely
      max-packs: 4    # Number of pack buttons per side (1–4)

Safety:

• Pack buttons respect all existing bounds (max transaction quantity, max affordable, max inventory)
• Quantity is always clamped to valid range after any pack button press
• Affordability and availability are always re-checked at confirmation time

Available Languages

• en_US - English (default)
• pt_PT - Portuguese

Language files are in plugins/Market/lang/ and can be customized.

Troubleshooting

"No compatible economy provider found!"

This error appears when Market cannot find an economy system.

Solutions:

1. Install Vault + an economy plugin:

   • Download VaultUnlocked
   • Download EssentialsX or another economy plugin
   • Restart your server

2. Using EssentialsX without Vault:

   • Make sure EssentialsX is installed and enabled
   • Check that economy is not disabled in EssentialsX's config.yml

"MultiBank not found!"

This error appears when Market cannot find the MultiBank plugin.

Solutions:

1. Install MultiBank on your server
2. Ensure MultiBank is enabled and loads before Market
3. Check that MultiBank's API service is registered

Items stuck in claim storage

If a player's inventory was full when they purchased an item or won an auction, the item goes to their claim storage. They can retrieve it from the main menu → "Claim Items".

Auctions not ending

Auctions are checked periodically (every 5 seconds by default). If auctions seem stuck:

• Check server console for errors
• Verify the database is working properly
• Try /market admin → View Auctions to see auction status

Database issues

By default, Market uses SQLite (no setup required). For larger servers, MySQL is recommended:

database:
  type: mysql
  mysql:
    host: localhost
    port: 3306
    database: communitymarket
    username: your_user
    password: your_password

API

Market does not currently provide a public API. If you need integration capabilities, please open an issue on GitHub.
