# Aurelium 💎 > **⚠️ EXPERIMENTAL WEB FEATURES ⚠️** > > *The newly added Web Dashboard features are currently in active development. Please expect potential bugs or instability if you enable `web.enabled` in your configuration. The core in-game economy, GUI markets, and auction house are mostly stable.* **Aurelium** is a comprehensive, standalone economy plugin for Minecraft Paper 1.21.11. > **Compatibility**: Paper, Purpur, Pufferfish, Leaves (1.21.x) It features a multi-currency system, a flexible Server Market with three interface modes (classic chest, modern styled, or browser-based web dashboard), a player-driven Auction House, Buy Orders, and seamless Vault integration. ## Features ### Web Dashboard (Optional) Aurelium includes a modern, responsive web application with [nearly 100% uptime](https://stats.uptimerobot.com/vzXzS8Op2J) that players can use to browse the Server Market, monitor stock trends, and engage with the Auction House from their browser. * **Server Market:** Fully functional directly from the web—purchase items and have them delivered instantly in-game!![Web Market](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/b28a02ddb620b4a6b5bc54be95508d4adaabba29.png) * **Auction House:** Fully interactive from the web—place bids and buyout items (BIN) securely. ![Web Auction House](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/d27ae421656ac26b76fbdc269d9ead39b93c471c.png) * **Buy Orders:** Fully interactive from the web—fulfill player buy orders straight from your online inventory.![Web Buy Orders](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/709660b24ff769aaaf25b9f1c541577e372c7f6b.png) * **Price Tracker:** An interactive chart tracking detailed item price histories. ![Web Chart](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/6a6c7c0a5e5a3371120a40242bc91baef67cb6ce.png) * **Live Sync:** Changes in-game reflect instantly on the web, and vice-versa. Click any item for an **interactive chart** with 7-day price history, smooth bezier curves, gradient fills, and hover tooltips.![Web Chart](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/101eff1a2a1ccb5f32ba6ffcc77c752f47dad4b3.png) - **Price History**: Prices are recorded every 10 minutes and stored for 7 days for charts. - **Cloud Mode**: Optional cloud hosting via Render for **almost** always-accessible dashboards. - **Multi-Currency UI**: Correctly displays custom currency symbols (e.g., `₳`, `$`, `€`) synced perfectly from your `config.yml`. - **Icon Fallbacks**: Robust image loading seamlessly falls back to older Minecraft versions (1.21, 1.20, 1.19, 1.18) if modern icons aren't available from external APIs yet. - **Secure Sessions**: Players use `/web` in-game to get a time-limited clickable link. Sessions use a rolling 1-hour timeout that resets on activity. Visiting the dashboard without a session shows a friendly error screen with instructions. - **Tab Sleep Mode**: When a player switches to another browser tab or minimizes the window, the entire dashboard goes to sleep — no network requests, no CPU usage. When they return, it instantly wakes up and loads fresh data. - **RAM Optimized**: Bulk data (auctions, orders, stocks, price history) is cached as raw JSON strings, keeping per-server memory usage under 1MB. - **Activation Queue**: If the cloud server reaches its 500MB RAM limit, new server registrations are fairly waitlisted until memory frees up. - **Configurable**: Port and enable/disable toggle in `config.yml`. ### Economy - **Multi-Currency**: Define multiple currencies (e.g., Aurels ₳, Dollars $, Euros €) with unique symbols and starting balances. - **Per-Item Currency**: Assign specific currencies to individual market items. - **Vault Support**: Fully compatible with Vault-dependent plugins (ShopGUI+, Essentials, etc.). - **Database**: SQLite or MySQL storage with automatic migration support. - **Offline Earnings**: Get paid for auction sales even when you're offline. ### Market A server-owned shop that functions like a **Stock Market**, with **three interface modes**: - **Classic**: Traditional chest-based inventory GUI. - **Modern**: Styled chest GUI with MiniMessage gradient titles, glass-pane borders, and formatted lore. - **Web**: A Modrinth-inspired browser dashboard (see Web Dashboard above). - **Demand/Supply Logic**: Prices automatically rise when people buy (Demand) and fall when they sell (Supply). Both Buy and Sell values scale proportionally. - **Anti-Exploit Safeguards**: Mathematically prevents the dynamic Sell price from ever exceeding the Buy price. - **Live UI Updates**: The `/market` and `/stocks` menus automatically refresh every **1 second** natively while open. - **Smart Pagination**: GUIs now feature **Page Indicator Books** in the center of the navigation bar, showing exactly what page you are on (e.g., "Page 1 of 5"). - **Searchable Menus**: Easily find any item in the Market or Auction House using the new **Compass** search button. - **Market Crash Alerts**: Server-wide announcements when high-value items (Diamonds, Spawners, etc.) drop to bargain prices. - **Performance Optimized**: - **Viewer-Only Refresh**: Logic remains completely dormant unless a player has a menu open. - **Batched Disk I/O**: Transaction data is saved in backgrounds batches, preventing server "lag spikes" during high-volume trading. - **O(1) Data Access**: Market prices use ultra-fast local caching for near-zero CPU impact. - **Smart Inventory Logistics**: Purchasing items securely fills your existing partial stacks instead of strictly demanding empty inventory slots. - **Massive Catalog**: Includes **ALL Building Blocks** (Stones, Deepslate, Wood, Glass, Nature, etc.) and over **60+ Mob Spawners**. ### Auction A fully self-contained player-driven exchange: - **100% GUI Driven**: Complex chat commands are a thing of the past. You can effortlessly **Sell Items**, **Place Custom Bids**, and **Make Private Offers** directly via intuitive chat-prompt buttons inside the menus. - **Safety Confirmations**: Never accidentally bankrupt yourself again. Both *Buy It Now* and *Bidding* feature a dedicated **Confirmation Screen** before deducting funds. - **Manage Offers**: Sellers can view all incoming deals in `/ah offers` and instantly **Accept (✔)** or **Decline (✖)**. - **Live Updates**: The GUI **instantly refreshes** for all players when an item is bought, bidded on, or cancelled. Additionally, **auction timers update in real-time** every second while the menu is open. - **Auto-Refunds**: Placed a bid and got outbid? Your money is **instantly returned** to your balance. - **Pro-Tip**: Almost every command below (like `/ah search`, `/sell`, and `/ah offer`) can also be triggered by simply **clicking the intuitive buttons** (Compass, Emerald, or Books) directly inside the GUIs! ### Buy Orders A global request system that lets players buy things they want even while offline: - **Global Requests**: Request any item in the game (including all 120+ Enchanted Books and Ingots) at your specific custom price. - **Automated Fulfillment**: Other players can browse active orders and fulfill them instantly directly from their inventory. - **Escrow System**: Money is held safely in escrow. If you cancel an order, your unspent funds are instantly returned. - **Offline Collections**: Items fulfilled while you are offline are safely put into your Auction House `/ah collect` bin. You'll be notified on login! - **Buyer Notifications**: Get notified in real-time when someone fills your order, or on your next login if you were offline. - **Intelligent Searching**: The `/orders` GUI features dynamic search buttons (Compass and Sign icons) allowing you to filter specific categories or search the entire Minecraft catalog for any valid item. ### Market Stabilization - **Price Floor & Ceiling**: Prices can never crash below 20% or inflate above 500% of the original base value (both configurable). - **Natural Recovery**: Prices passively drift back toward their base value every 10 minutes, preventing permanent crashes from auto-farms. ### Stocks - **Real-time Tracking**: View the incredibly accurate *Current Buy Price* and *Current Sell Price* of every item in the market. - **Trends**: - **Green (▲ +%)**: Demand is peaking. - **Red (▼ -%)**: Market is oversaturated. ## Commands ### Player | Command | Description | Permission | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | `/bal [player] [currency]` | Check your own or another player's balance. | `aureleconomy.bal` | | `/pay [currency]` | Pay another player. | `aureleconomy.pay` | | `/market` | Open the in-game server market (Classic or Modern mode). | `aureleconomy.market` | | `/web` | Generate a secure link to the Browser Dashboard. | `aureleconomy.web` | | `/stocks` | View market trends. | `aureleconomy.stocks` | | `/orders` | Open the Buy Orders GUI. | `aureleconomy.orders` | | `/orders create [currency]` | Place a buy order via command. | `aureleconomy.orders` | | `/orders fill [amount]` | Fulfill someone else's order from your inventory. | `aureleconomy.orders` | | `/orders cancel ` | Cancel your own order and get a refund. | `aureleconomy.orders` | | `/orders my` | List all your active buy orders with IDs. | `aureleconomy.orders` | | `/orders search ` | Search active orders by item name. | `aureleconomy.orders` | | `/ah` | Open the Auction House. | `aureleconomy.ah` | | `/ah sell [duration] [currency]` | List item for BIN (Buy It Now).

Download `Aurelium-1.4.2.jar`. 2. Place it in your server's `plugins/` folder. 3. **Restart** the server. - *Note: If Vault is not detected, Aurelium will automatically extract and install it into your plugins folder for you upon first run.* ## Config ### Items Control every price directly in the config: ```yaml market-items: DIAMOND: buy: 5000.0 # Cost to buy from server sell: 0.0 # 0.0 = Selling DISABLED DIRT: buy: 1.0 sell: 0.5 # Players can sell dirt for 0.5 BEDROCK: buy: -1.0 # -1.0 = Buying DISABLED ``` ### Network Syncing (MySQL Required) Aurelium supports cross-server synchronization for **BungeeCord** and **Velocity** networks. > [IMPORTANT!] > **MySQL IS REQUIRED** for synchronization. SQLite does not support cross-server data sharing. By pointing all your backend servers (e.g., Survival, Skyblock) to the **same MySQL database** in their `config.yml`, the following data will be shared instantly: * **Global Balances**: Player balances are refreshed on join, ensuring they carry their money across your entire network. * **Global Auction House**: All active auctions and the collection bin are shared across all linked servers. * **Per-Server Markets**: Currently, dynamic Market prices are stored in each server's local `config.yml`. This allows you to have different economies (e.g., a "Hardcore" survival market vs. a "Creative" skyblock market) while players keep the same wallet. ### Global Control the plugin's behavior in `config.yml`: ```yaml database: type: sqlite # Supported types: sqlite, mysql file: "database.db" # Active only if type is 'sqlite' mysql: # Active only if type is 'mysql' host: "localhost" port: 3306 database: "aurelium" username: "root" password: "password" economy: default-currency: "Aurels" # Default currency for Vault & fallbacks currencies: Aurels: symbol: "₳" starting-balance: 100.0 # Dollars: # symbol: "$" # starting-balance: 0.0 max-balance: -1 # Max balance (-1 = unlimited) min-pay-amount: 0.01 # Minimum /pay transaction market: enabled: true # Master toggle for /market gui-mode: modern # Interface for /market: "classic" or "modern" dynamic-pricing: true # Prices move on buy/sell price-increase-per-buy: 0.001 # +0.1% per buy price-decrease-per-sell: 0.001 # -0.1% per sell default-sell-ratio: 0.5 # New items default sell = 50% of buy price-floor: 0.2 # Can't drop below 20% of base price-ceiling: 5.0 # Can't rise above 500% of base price-recovery: enabled: true # Passive drift toward base rate: 0.01 # 1% of gap per cycle interval-minutes: 10 # Recovery cycle frequency auction-house: enabled: true # Master toggle for /ah default-duration: 86400 # 24 hours (seconds) max-duration: 604800 # 7 days max listing-fee-percent: 2.0 # Fee to list sales-tax-percent: 5.0 # Tax on sale max-listings-per-player: -1 # -1 = unlimited min-listing-price: 1.0 # Minimum listing price buy-orders: enabled: true # Master toggle for /orders max-active-orders-per-player: 10 # -1 = unlimited min-price-per-piece: 0.1 # Minimum offer price max-order-value: -1 # -1 = unlimited creation-fee-percent: 2.0 # Order creation fee sales-tax-percent: 5.0 # Seller tax on fulfillment web: enabled: true # Start the embedded web server port: 8585 # Port (must be opened in firewall) # Session timeout: rolling 1 hour of inactivity (hardcoded) ``` ### Language A `messages.yml` file is generated on startup. - **Translate**: Change any message to your language. - **Color Codes**: Use MiniMessage formatting (e.g., ``) or legacy `&` codes. ## FAQ - **"Unknown Command"**: If `/market` or `/eco` says "Unknown command", the plugin failed to load. - Check your server console/logs for errors. - Ensure you have `Aurelium-1.4.2.jar` in `plugins/`. - Ensure you are running **Paper 1.21.x** (or compatible forks: Purpur, Pufferfish, Leaves). - **"No Permission"**: - Ensure you are **OP** (`/op `) or have the permission node `aureleconomy.admin`. - Note: Standard player commands (`/bal`, `/market`, `/ah`, `/sell`) are enabled for everyone by default. - **Still not working?** - If none of the above fixes your issue, please [open an issue](https://github.com/APPLEPIE6969/Aurelium/issues) on GitHub with your server version, error logs, and steps to reproduce.
