You can create “barter shops” that trade one item for another when a player uses the shop sign. Barter shops make it easier to trade and it also prevents people from stealing your items.
Creating a Shop
- First, you need to lock a chest (double or single) using lock signs.
- Make a sign above the chest with [Shop] as the first line, the price as the second line, and finally the item being sold for the third line.
- You should see something along the lines of “Shop created” in chat.
Using Shops
You can crouch-right click (default key: SHIFT) a shop sign to trade items. When you first create the shop sign, the [Shop] text will be black, but once someone uses it, the text will turn green or red indicating whether the shop is in stock.
