The Shopping District is the perfect place to meet other players, exchange goods, and open your own shop!
Only Members, and above can enter the Shopping District. To become a member, you need to /rankup!
Each Member is allowed 2 plots within the shopping district. All plots are already marked, and you cannot merge 2 plots together.
Diamonds are the currency within the Shopping District.
Before opening a shop, please make sure you review our Shopping District Rules and respect the market value of our Price Index.
Claiming a plot
Let’s get started!
Plots are free to claim in the Shopping District. All vacant plots with have a sign saying “FREE PLOT” on them.
When you find a marked plot you like, just place your name on the sign. You now have 14 days to stock, and complete building your shop.
Every player is allowed to claim 2 shop plots, but you must finish your first shop before claiming a second plot.
Plot Sizes
Know your limits
All shopping plots are 15 x 15 blocks. You must make sure your shop fits within your plot. Any blocks, overhang or decoration outside of your plot will be trimmed without warning.
Do not build your shop higher or lower than 20 blocks from the ground level. This is currently no taller than Y:86 or lower than Y:46.
Building your shop
Understanding themes
Your shop must be original, and have a theme. By having themed shops it makes it easy for others to understand what you are selling. It adds a little more fun to our world. Do not create a shop to sell items quickly.
It is important that the items in your shop fit within the theme of your shop.
Examples of great themes below:
Be creative with your shops, and try to avoid opening a general store!
You are not allowed to open the following shops.
The Directory
Be found!
Located in the centre of the Shopping District is our Directory Board! Here you can add your own shop for free. You can change the sign to another colour if you prefer, and jazz it up with /colors.
Include your shop name, what you sell, coordinates, and street name. This is the best way to ensure your shop can be found. Please do not place item frames on the Directory.
Fair Economy
Clear pricing!
When opening a shop, it is important that you make it clear what the price is of the item you are selling. We suggest using a shiny item, which you don’t usually sell like an emerald.
Respect the market value of items in the Price Index. The prices within this index are the minimum, that of which you can sell an item for in our world. You can sell items for a higher price than what is listed within our Price Index, but you can’t sell items for less. This is to ensure a fair economy for everyone.
Town Hall Property Department
Auction Time!
The Town Hall Property Department is responsible for auctioning unstocked / inactive shops. Before going to auction, any players who are unable to keep their shop stocked will be notified before their shop is auctioned. If after 2 days, we do not receive a reply then the shop will be forfeited, and auctioned to other players.
Where is the Town Hall Property Department?
The Town Hall Property Department is located in the Shopping district Town Hall. All available property can be viewed here.
How do I bid on a property?
To place a bid, you need to write your name on a piece of paper with an anvil, with the amount you would like to bid, and then place it inside the PLOT barrel. No one else will be able to see your bid! If you bid, and then want to change your bid to a higher amount, just submit a new piece of paper.
What happens if I win the auction?
Congratulations you won! Now, you need to place your diamonds in the Payment Chest, in the Town Hall Property Department office. Make sure you collect your receipt, and souvenir map! As you are only allowed 2 shop plots, you now have 2 choices. You can either keep the winning shop including all the materials for yourself, or remove the shop and give the plot space back to the community.
