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

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!

Note 2: You can set up shop chests outside of the market, for example in your own base or kingdom building or ... Be aware that securing them is your own responsibility then.

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. Be extra careful: you can run out of money fast, especially when offering high prices.

Remove Shop

Stop the shop chest from functioning; turn it back to a regular container.

 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• Update or remove empty or outdated shops.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.
