Blockbucks Marketplace

Quickstart

1. Open the Creative inventory and search for Shop Stand and Shop Display Shelf, or craft them at a crafting table.
2. Place a Shop Stand in your base or storefront. Add Shop Display Shelves and merchant furniture to create a player-run shop.
3. Use Shop Beacon, Merchant Neon Sign, Merchant Cash Register, and other market fixtures to mark and decorate your shop.
4. Gather resources and use the marketplace systems to sell surplus materials, recycle unwanted gear, and build up your BlockBucks business.
5. Find a Merchant Trader and interact with it to explore merchant services. You can also spawn one with: /summon com_blockbucks_marketplace_zizinia2:merchant_trader
6. Look for Robo Bees in plains, sunflower plains, and flower forest biomes during daylight, or experiment with a Robo Bee Spawn Egg. Interact with a Robo Bee when you find one.
7. Try the mod’s tools, charms, wallets, tickets, and merchant rewards from the Creative inventory. The Auto Planter is a single-item chest-slot wearable.

How To Use

Opening a Player-Run Shop

Start with a Shop Stand in a visible location. Arrange Shop Display Shelves around it to make a clear sales area, then decorate the storefront with merchant furniture.

A useful market layout can include:

• Shop Stands for individual sales areas
• Display Shelves for merchandise
• A Cash Register near the entrance
• A Contract Board for current deals or tasks
• A Neon Sign or Shop Beacon to attract attention
• A Furniture Showcase and Sofa for a finished shop interior

Interact with the marketplace fixtures and merchant characters to explore their available options. Stock your business by gathering resources, selling excess materials, and recycling gear you no longer need.

Trading and Recycling

Use the marketplace as a resource loop:

1. Gather ores, crops, wood, drops, and other useful materials.
2. Sell resources through the marketplace.
3. Recycle unwanted equipment instead of leaving it unused.
4. Use your earnings to expand your shop and pursue higher-tier merchant items.
5. Keep valuable materials on display and organize common stock separately for a cleaner storefront.

Robo Bees

Robo Bees naturally spawn:

• On the surface
• In daylight
• In plains, sunflower plains, and flower forest biomes
• One at a time

When you encounter one, use the displayed interaction prompt to interact with it. Robo Bees can also be tested through the Creative inventory using their spawn egg.

Abilities And Mechanics

Merchant Progression

Blockbucks Marketplace supports a progression from basic trading to high-value merchant rewards. Start with a small storefront and basic currency, then work toward wallets, vouchers, licenses, investment equipment, and prestige rewards such as the Master Trader Medal or Billionaire Token.

Gathering for Profit

The specialist equipment roster supports several ways to obtain stock:

• Mine and process materials with the Orebreaker Pickaxe, Deepcore Drill, Gem Finder Goggles, and Pocket Smelter.
• Gather wood with the Timber Axe and manage saplings with the Sapling Charm and Wood Pouch.
• Farm with the Harvest Hoe, Watering Can, Seed Satchel, and Auto Planter.
• Explore with the Explorer Compass, Treasure Scanner, and Portable Campfire.
• Improve construction with the Builder Wand, Shape Tool, and Paint Brush.
• Carry and manage goods with the Merchant Backpack, Item Magnet, and portable storage equipment.

Merchant Utilities

Merchant-focused items include:

• Forge Hammer for merchant equipment and upgrade-focused play
• Delivery Van, Delivery Van Controller, and Delivery Van Key for delivery-themed merchant operations
• Bank Card, wallets, and coin storage for handling marketplace wealth
• Tickets, tokens, passes, and keys for accessing special merchant activities and rewards

Progression And Strategy

1. Build a basic storefront. Craft a Shop Stand and Shop Display Shelves before investing in elaborate decoration.
2. Choose a supply specialty. Mining, farming, woodcutting, exploration, and combat all provide different types of merchandise.
3. Keep your shop organized. Separate common resources from valuable finds and use displays to make premium stock easy to identify.
4. Recycle before replacing. Turn unused gear into marketplace value rather than filling your storage with obsolete equipment.
5. Reinvest earnings. Upgrade your equipment, expand your shop, and pursue better wallets, vouchers, licenses, and merchant rewards.
6. Add merchant infrastructure. A Cash Register, Contract Board, Neon Sign, Beacon, and furniture make a shop feel established and easier for other players to recognize.
7. Use companions and utility items. Try Robo Bees, Mini Golems, storage tools, mobility gear, and gathering equipment while you grow your business.
8. Aim for prestige. Progress from basic coins and a small stand toward advanced merchant rewards such as the Golden Wallet, Tycoon Wallet, Master Trader Medal, Billionaire Token, and King’s Ledger.
