Player shops

Player shops are sign-and-chest trading: stock a chest, write a shop sign next to it, and other players can buy from you or sell to you by tapping the sign.

Quick start

  1. Place a chest and stock it with what you want to trade.
  2. Place a sign against or on the chest.
  3. Line 1: [Shop], line 2: 64x Wood, line 3: 32x Gold.
  4. Your username auto-fills on line 4; players tap the sign to trade.

Managing shops

  • /far:shop list shows all of your active shops with their coordinates.
  • /far:shop remove deletes the shop you are looking at and clears its display.
  • Breaking a shop sign removes the shop.
Chests are protected automatically

Shop chests are guarded from theft, and items are shown floating above the sign so buyers can see the offer at a glance. You do not need a separate lock on a shop chest.
