Player-Run Market

The Player-Run Market is the center of trade and commerce on the Ender Scrolls server. Players can lease pre-plotted stalls to sell goods, set their own prices, and trade using the server’s **money system** instead of bartering with raw items like diamonds or emeralds.

Overview

What it is

A protected hub where players lease plots to run shops.

Automated system

Each stall has a **lease sign** to preview, lease, extend, or stop a lease.

Pricing

The market uses a **flat leasing fee**, while item prices are completely player-driven.

Location & Access

• **Location:**
• **Fast travel:**
  • Daily transportation scroll via /kit almsivi (teleports to the University at Spawn).
  • /tpa and /tpahere to meet other players (cooldown applies).
  • Kingdom/Nation homes via /k home.
  • Waypoints: each kingdom has a limited set; travel costs **redstone**, scaled by distance.

Region Protection

Access control

Only the leaseholder and added members can edit a stall.

Grief protection

Leasing a Stall

Leasing costs **$10.00** for **3 days**. You must extend your lease before the timer runs out, or you will **lose your stall and all contents**.

Important Warning: If your lease expires, **everything in the lot is permanently deleted**, including:

• Shop chests and their contents
• Decorations and structures
• Item frames, signs, and other blocks

There are **no refunds** for lost items!

Using the Lease Sign

Each stall has a special **lease sign** as its control interface.

**Left-click (or tap)**

Preview the area the lot covers. A visual highlight will show the 6×6 plot and its 4-block height limit.

**Right-click**

Open the leasing menu to:

• Start leasing a stall
• Extend your current lease
• Stop your lease early (**clears the lot immediately**)

Setting Up a Shop

Creating a shop in your leased stall is simple and completely automated.

Step 1: Place a Container

• Place a **chest** or **barrel** inside your lot.
• This container will hold the items you want to sell.

Step 2: Shift-Click with Item

• Hold the item you want to sell in your hand.
• **Shift + Right-Click** on the chest or barrel.

 This opens the shop creation interface.

Step 3: Set Price and Confirm

• Enter the **price per unit** of the item.
• Confirm to finalize your shop setup.
• The container is now active as a **selling chest**.

Note: The container must have **stock** in it for the shop to function. Restock regularly to keep your shop active!

Managing an Existing Shop

You can easily manage or modify a shop chest after it has been created.

Open the Management Menu

• **Right-click** the shop chest.
• A menu will appear in the chat, offering the following options:

Options Explained

**Update Price**

Change the current selling or buying price of the item without deleting the shop.

**Switch to Buying Chest**

Turn the chest into a **buying shop**, where you pay players for delivering items to you.

**Remove Shop**

Stop the shop from functioning.

 The chest and its contents remain safe — only the shop link is removed.

Tip: Always double-check settings when switching to a buying chest to avoid draining your balance unexpectedly.

Market Etiquette

• Set fair, competitive prices — avoid intentional undercutting that harms the market.
• Update or remove empty or outdated shops.
• No misleading practices or scams.
• Work with other traders to offer variety rather than duplicate items.
