Description

LanternMarket

A market that feels alive. Players buy and sell through a chest menu, and every sale nudges the price: flood the market with cobblestone and it gets cheap, buy up all the diamonds and they get expensive. Prices drift back to their base value over time, so nobody can corner the market for good.

Features

  • Moving prices: each item has a base price, a floor, a ceiling and a "drift back" speed.
  • Daily deals: three random items are 25 % off every day at midnight (server time).
  • Sales history: the last 30 days of each item as a tiny chart in its tooltip.
  • Categories and search in the menu, also on phones and consoles.
  • Taxes on sales, sent to a server account or simply removed from the economy.
  • Uses PocketLedger for money, so balances are shared with your other plugins.

FAQ

Can I use a different economy plugin? Not yet: PocketLedger is required. An adapter API is planned for 4.0.

Does it work with Bedrock forms instead of chests? Yes, set menu: form in config.yml.

Changelog

  • Moving prices (breaking: prices.yml is now items.yml, converted on first start)
  • Daily deals
  • Needs PocketLedger 2.x

Works well with forms on Bedrock phones, which most of our players use.

Moved from a static shop plugin, no regrets.

Great plugin. I wish the menu remembered the last category I opened.

Daily deals bring people online in the evening. Setup took ten minutes.

Our survival economy finally makes sense. Players actually watch the diamond price now.
