    I was thinking about building an Arabic-style market with a Roman-style coliseum in the desert right next to spawn. Does anyone want to help?

    We can also get cobble and smelt it into stone. Also, I made a thread for the church.

    This would be great as long as it is kept organised unlike Welwyn Marketplace...

    Progress!

    Here's what the big stalls look like:

    Above are stalls:

    Stalls are themed, so we have 'lanes' which have certain categories of goods. This helps buyers find items.

    On the sides are stalls devoted to just food:

    These are the categories we have thought of:
    1. Building materials
    2. Rarities
    3. Potions/Armory/Weapons
    4. Food
    5. Plants
    6. Redstone

    so will we have multiple of the same kind of shops but for different people? or are we going to have to find more catagories, or we could split the catagories into smaller catagories

    Eh, we don't want too many categories. If you want to run two kinds of shops, you can make two shops in two different areas. A problem we had in the previous marketplace is that buyers couldn't find where to buy things, so now we're making it easier for them.

    However, I am not sure what to do about the big spaces at the bottom. We have stalls at the top, but who would get the big rooms below?

    maybe we could have co-op owners on the bottom, where they run one type of store, but they do it together?

    Well, we can also combine two stalls too.
