Economy in AlphaPlace is different from normal Minecraft and works via a server plugin.

1. Overview

iConomy adds onto the essentials economy to the server that facilitates easier trade between players. With the iConomy plugin, users can set up actual shops using chests, and administrators can establish server shops.

2. Basics

You can pay other players and check the value of certain items using just the Essentials plugin. With the iConomy plugin, you can also buy and sell items from shops, which is especially useful if the seller is offline. Most players use the server shop due to its infinite stock, though prices are higher, and the options are limited—especially when selling items.

To buy from a shop:

• Right-click the sign of the item you wish to purchase. If you have enough money and the shop has it in stock, the transaction will proceed.

To sell to a shop:

• Left-click any sign that has an "S" on it. You can sell the item at the price listed. If the shop owner doesn't have enough money, the transaction will fail.

3. Server Shop

The main shop on AlphaPlace is located next to the player market. It is especially useful for selling items, as the marketplace shops are run by players.

4. Player Market

The player market allows players to set up shops similar to the server shop. However, shop owners are responsible for restocking their shops, managing their prices, and maintaining enough balance if they are allowing players to sell items at their shop.

5. Setting Up a Shop

To set up a shop, use the following example format on a sign:

• Row 1: Your username (autofilled)
• Row 2: Amount of items per transaction
• Row 3: Prices (B = Buy price, S = Sell price)
• Row 4: Item name or ID

NOTICE: Replace the example information with the actual details relevant to your shop.
