About Me

Better Markets is a Minecraft Survival Multiplayer Addon/Datapack that allows players in a server to sell their items in exchange for other items (bartering).
It uses the Minecraft Villager Trading UI as FOUNDATION for the Market Listing Display And Interaction.

Features

  • Create Multiple Listings!

Players can create AS MANY LISTINGS as they want! They can also ask for a combination of at-most TWO ITEMS
(similar to how villagers can accept/ask for two items in exchange for a single item)

  • Infinite Market Length!

A server can have a NEARLY INFINITE NUMBER of Market Listings available for player to navigate through! This allows room for multiple offers for the same item! There is no restriction to applicable offers!

  • Item Bank!

Players can also buy items from offline players! Every purchase made is transferred to a virtual storage that can only be withdrawn by their owners! It returns the items bartered/traded for in a bundle which disappears after their contents are withdrawn!

How To ..

  • create a Market Listing?

Any and ALL players can create a Market Listing by running the command: /trigger pm-createListing. You will be sent a tellraw message instructing you on how to set-up your inventory, mainly your offhand and your hotbar's first two slots, Slot 0 and Slot 1.
To create a listing,

  • Put the item that you are willing to sell in your offhand.
  • Put the items you want in your First Slot and Second Slot.
  • Then, run the command /trigger pm-createListing set 2
  • withdraw/receive items from a Trade/Barter?

All your trade items are stored in a "bank" type storage. To access the list of transactions you own, run the command /trigger pm-itemBank. Then, click on any of the given Bank Vault ID to receive your items in a bundle.

  • make a purchase/browse the PlayerMarket?

This datapack adds a custom structure to the worldgen which houses a villager with a custom tag "_listingvillager". If you load this datapack on a world with preloaded chunks, you should try generating newer chunks to find the structure that houses the "PlayerMarket Listing Villager"
