Adding buy and sell signs for players

Recommended Posts

IT would be really nice to have buy and sell signs for players to use. It would work by players putting a sign on a chest with an item and creating a sign like this
[buy/sell] 
item name
amount
price


You would only be able to buy and sell player to player as no not break the market. Someone could make a shop that sells iron blocks at they base for people to buy. Buy sign would mean when you click the sign you would buy {duh} and sell well sells. Also It could work with ranks so a normal player could say have 2 shop signs while a with ranks you would get more or you could add more to the buycraft shop.
An example of this plugin would be https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/signshop.10997/

Even tho it is possible to add such plugin to the server, there are some problems that set this function unworthy to bother with.

  • Such Plugins, protect the chests from being destroyed by other players. This means that a possibility to block Nether and End dimension spawns will be given to the players, causing trouble for both the players and the staff members.
  • Even tho teleporting or traveling to other players islands, is not a big matter, such a high traffic between islands is not recommended, because since the server has the Modded Nature, it could easily cause troubles. To be specific:
    • The ability to grief: Even tho griefing is a forbidden action and restricted as much as possible, there are still ways to bypass the protection. Allowing all the players to teleport freely to your island, even tho you are offline will be like a blessing to griefers, since it won't be possible for us to narrow down the suspects list.
    • Possibility to crash: Because of the Modded Nature of the server, the possibility to crash is high, and it becomes a lot higher when you teleport to other islands. Considering the fact that some objects can make you crash on join, it would be a high risk for every player to try teleporting to someone's shop, just to buy some items.
  • Since the modpack depends on the automation, its highly possible that players will need to buy a huge amount of items, which will most likely make them teleport back and forth in the island triggering the problems mentioned above.
  • Again, because of the modded nature of the server, there is no guarantee that the plugin will be able to work correctly with every item of the modpack, since it was created with the expectation to work with the vanilla items. The troubles this could cause  can be:
    • A new Bug-Glitch that allows duping items.
    • Cause lag to the server or the client, depending on the nature of some items (Data size of the ME Drives etc ...).
    • Using the signs in a chest (or other inventory storage) that comes from a mod could cause troubles and even crashes as well.
    • Using modded ways to transfer items to even vanilla chests, while they wear the shop sign could have a bad reaction for the server.

Some of the problems mentioned above might not exist, or be easy to fix, but some others (The ability to grief and Possibility to crash) are most likely unavoidable.

Considering we already have the market which is at spawn and configured to avoid the problems mentioned, adding shopsigns is not really worth the problems it will cause.
