Shopkeepers

On the RTGame minecraftMinecraft server there is a plugin to allow users to create shops, named Shopkeepers. This allows users to set up trades between items for other players to interact with and trade, even when the owner of the shop is offline. This page will help explain how to set one up, use them and anything else.

Creating Trades

The first rowrow, shown in red,red, is for the items shown in the chest, which you can offer trades for.

The secondthird rowrow, shown in blue, is an optional secondary cost.

The third row in green,green, is the primary cost for the trade, which is the first item a buyer will need to complete the trade. The second row, shown in blue, is an optional secondary cost. This is the second item a buyer will need to complete the trade.

Once an item has been placed in any of the above slots, its quantity can be increased by 1 with left clicking, and decreased by 1 with right-clicking. Shift + clicking will increase / decrease the amount by 10 at a time.

The books to the left and right, shown in pink,pink, can be clicked as needed to switch between pages, to sell more than nine items.

To set a cost, you pick up an item from your inventory and place it into the slot (you only need 1). Then you can left click to increase and right click to decrease to adjust the amounts. Also shift + click increases / decreases by 10 at a time.

Miscellaneous notes

At present this plugin does not inform users if a trade has happened, or if you are out of stock. Thus, it is recommended to check your shop stock when you can.

It is advised to leave an empty slot within the chest, so trades can still successfully happen. If a chest if 100% full, trades will fail, even if it would "empty" a lot in the transaction.
