Mall

The Mall is an area near spawn dedicated to player shops. It can be accessed by travelling to the Overworld spawn and then following the stairs down.

Layout and Facilities

The shops are arranged in a grid with paths between them for access. A communal area is located at the entrance to the mall in front of the stairs. This area can be populated with blocks players commonly need and can also be used to access shulker boxes.

The land immediately outside the mall is also publicly editable, except for the side facing spawn. It is not recommended you build a base here however, as if the mall requires expansion in the future anything built beside it will need to be relocated.

Shops

If you are using Bedrock Edition, please follow Method 2 in any instructions below. This works around a known chat limitation which prevents chat links being clickable.

In total, there are 50 shops, arranged in groups of 2 with a dividing wall between them. Each shop has a size of 17 x 19 x 7 blocks. with 8 blocks below and 10 blocks above the surface being editable. If you or a friend own 2 neighbouring shops, the dividing wall can be removed to create a larger 17 x 19 x 14 shop space.

Shop signs

Each shop has a sign showing the status of the shop.

Rented shops will show the current owner and rent expiry date. Available shops will show the price and instructions for renting the shop.
