The Market

Quickstart

New accounts start with 250 coins. The Market Ledger and, if you have not registered a shop, a Market Shop Stand are supplied automatically.

To craft a stand at a crafting table:

Place the stand somewhere with a clear 9×9 area and open space above it. Then sneak-use the stand to build your shop; building it replaces blocks in its footprint. The shop has ten wall displays. Sneak-use a display to stock it with an item from your inventory and set its price. Customers can use a stocked display to buy.

To open the market menu, sneak-use the Market Ledger or enter /lockbox:market. Try the Gallery for goods to buy, or Sell to list an item for other players.

Overview

The Market adds player shops, item listings, direct trades, and a shared coin balance. Coins are used for market purchases; earn them by selling items or receiving coins from other players.

What It Adds

How To Use

Your shop

• Place your Market Shop Stand, then sneak-use it to build the shop. Only its owner can activate or manage it.
• Sneak-use a wall display to add or change its item and price, or remove its stock. Shop stock is taken from your inventory.
• Other players use a stocked display to choose an amount and buy. The item goes into their inventory, and the coins go to you.
• Displays show the item and price as a preview. Buy through the display interaction rather than trying to take the displayed item.

Market menu

Use the Ledger while sneaking, or open the menu with /lockbox:market.

• Buy: Browse other players’ listings by category, choose an amount, review the cost, and confirm. Your coins are credited to the seller.
• Sell: Choose an eligible inventory stack, set its amount and price per item, and create a listing. Listed items are held for sale; use My Listings to return an unsold listing to your inventory.
• Gallery: Buy from the market’s selection of ten goods. Gallery stock is unlimited.
• Gift Coins: Send coins to another online player.
• Leaderboard: View player balances.

Direct trades

Choose Trade, select an online player, and invite them. Each player can add items to their offer and review both offers. When both players are ready, a five-second countdown begins. Changing an offer or withdrawing readiness stops the countdown; either player can cancel the trade.

Crafting And Obtaining

The Market Shop Stand recipe is shown in Quickstart. The Market Ledger and an initial stand are supplied automatically when your account is set up; the stand is supplied if you have not registered a shop. The ten Market Item Holders are built as part of your shop.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Listings and trade offers use escrow: items are set aside while listed or offered, rather than exchanged as dropped items.
• Purchases are limited by available stock, your balance, and inventory space.
• Market listings and trade offers accept ordinary stackable, unnamed items. Unique or named gear stays in your inventory.
• Your balance is visible in the market menu. A sale or shop purchase credits the seller’s account automatically.

Progression And Strategy

Use your starting coins to try the Gallery, then sell goods or stock your shop to earn more. Set clear per-item prices and keep enough room in your inventory for purchases. For shop building, choose a site where replacing blocks in the 9×9 footprint will not damage anything you want to keep.
