Shop Setup Guide

Shops are a way that players can sell items for other items. Player shops are currently located on the Nether hub roof. 

Please read the Shop Rules and Information page before building your shop!

Purchasing a shop plot

A shop plot is a section of the shopping area dedicated for you to sell your items.

To buy a shop plot, you will first need to acquire Vote Points, you can vote here: tws.gg/vote. Then, ingame run the command: /voteshop. The firework star represents Vote Points. Each firework star = 1 Vote Point.

Once you have acquired enough Vote Point firework stars, You can buy a shop by placing the appropriate number of those tokens in an available plot’s barrel, then letting the staff know in the "Buy Shop Plots here" thread in the Support channel on Discord once payment is placed.

Once the payment is in the barrel and you've posted there, you can start building immediately.
You do NOT need to wait for staff approval. Do not ping them please!

Building your shop

Once purchased, you can begin building immediately! Your building can be as simple or complex as you'd like, but our community encourages creativity. Note that intentionally ugly shops may be asked to redesign.

Depending on which shop you purchased, you will have more or less room to build.

Do NOT use:

• Obsidian
• Crying Obsidian
• Lava
• Similar hard-to-remove blocks.
  These make it difficult for staff to remove shops if necessary.

Using trading villagers and chests

To get started, you will need the following items:

• A shopkeeper villager spawn egg - You can purchase a shop villager spawn egg from the villager near spawn in the Nether
• A chest
• At least one of the item you want to sell
  

1. Acquire your shopkeeper - Purchase your shopkeeper at the nether hub.
   
   
2. Place your chest - This chest should be dedicated for items for sale - items you are selling will be taken from this chest, and the payment you receive will be deposited into it.
   
   
3. Connect your shopkeeper to the chest - Hold the spawn egg in your main hand, then right-click once onto your designated sale items chest. Information regarding shop creation will appear in the chat.
   
   
4. Deposit the items you are selling into the chest - This is necessary to allow your shopkeeper to access those items.
   
   
5. Choose your shopkeeper type - Hold shift and right-click into the open air, this will switch between the villager types: Villager, Snowman, Witch, Evoker, Vindicator, Illusioner, Sign. The selected shopkeeper type will appear in the chat.
   
   
6. Place your shopkeeper - Right-click on an open block to place your shopkeeper villager.
   
   
7. Set a quantity to what you are selling - Hold shift and right-click on the shopkeeper to open its GUI. The item you are selling will appear at the top. Increase the quantity of items by clicking once to increase by 1, or shift click to increase by intervals of 10. 
   
   
8. Set a price to what you are selling - Within the same GUI menu, click the barrier blocks below your item to increase your price - pricing is in diamonds and diamond blocks. Once again, clicking once increases by 1, shift clicking increases by intervals of 10. Follow the minimum prices listed here: https://tws.gg/minimum-prices
   
   
9. Customize your shopkeeper if desired - Enter the GUI menu by holding shift and right-clicking on the villager. You will see the customizable options at the bottom (profession, variant, badge color, etc.).

Misplaced a shop villager? Don't worry! If you want to move your shop villager, you can remove it within the villager's GUI and the spawn egg will be returned to your hand.
