Archive/Mall Guide (Survival 4)

The Dogcraft Server features buying and selling plugins that allow players to create "chest-shops" or "slab-shops" that can be used to buy or sell items for the server's currency, Dogcraft Dollars. The Mall is a designated area for these exchanges to take place.

Map of the plots in the mall

This guide will help you through the Mall experience step by explaining the physical mall layout, using the shops in plots, and how to create your own shop.

Navigating the Mall

Selecting the Mall to warp to.

The Mall can be accessed in the same fashion that any world can be selected on the Dogcraft server. Namely, type the command /servers into chat. An inventory popup will appear, with several icons on the top row. Select the chest icon, which can be found beside the two pickaxes, and you will be teleported to the Mall.

You will enter the Mall in it's center. The Mall can be a daunting area to begin with, but it has several cues that can help you to navigate it.

Once you have loaded into the area, look directly down. You will find a map of the area at your feet. In addition there are information boards around the mall with maps. The map will reveal that the Mall is made up of four hubs, one in each corner of a square, and connected by paths.

A navigation pole example. This one reads that the player is on the border of the Tree and Fountain areas (Tree on the left and Fountain on the right). They are on the bottom floor.

Each corner hub of the Mall has it's own name and symbol:

• Northwest - Dog
• Northeast - Fish
• Southwest - Fountain
• Southeast - Tree

These symbols are portrayed by banners and a statue of each in the center of their corner hub. Examples of banners can be seen whilst looking directly upwards from the spawn location of the mall.

Each floor of the building has it's own letter. The bottom floor is A, ranging up to the highest which is C (not opened at time of writing). Different levels can be accessed by the water spouts at the Mall spawn point or by staircases along the corridors.

Navigation poles in the center of the corridors of the Mall use a combination of both symbol and letter to indicate your location. Reading these will give you an idea of the area you are in. For example tree_a_14 is located in the Tree area, floor A (ground floor), shop #14. Players will often use this notation for communicating shop locations in chat if you are looking for something in particular.

Server Shops

There are four public service shops in the centre hub of the mall:

• Simon's Shulkers Lost & Found: Contains traders for buying plugin tools and warp cards to the endfarm and pigfarm community farms. After purchasing the warp tokens, "use" the token to activate it before using the warp commands. The delicious present is yours to keep or consume!
• Warm Gossip: Sells Rendog outfits, community banners, and a rotating selection of miniblocks and armour stands.
• Amby's Booming Beats: Selling custom records for your listening pleasure!
• Seasonal Build

Shops

From Guide:Shops

1.21.4 Update: As the shop plugin was changed during the update to 1.21.4 ALL SHOPS have to be re-created using the new plugin! Old shops no longer work!
Due to this the shop creation is FREE for 1 week, starting March 1st, 2025!

This is a guide for the new shop plugin in use on the Dogcraft Server since it updated to Minecraft version 1.21.4.
Player Shops on the Dogcraft Server are a way of buying and selling goods in exchange for Dogcraft Dollars (DCD). They take the form of chests in-game with the item being bought or sold appearing on top. This guide will walk through the process of setting up shops using the Shop plugin used by the server.
The shop plugin is only available on the Mall world and cannot be used on any of the other worlds.
To create a shop in the mall you need to first rent a mall plot. This is not described in this article.

Buying

Buying from a shop

One can find shops using the /qs find [item] command. (replacing [item] with the name of the item to look for. The /shop command does NOT WORK any more.
To buy from a shop:

1. Left click the sign of the shop
2. Type /qs amount [amount] (replacing [amount] with the amount of items you wish to buy)

Selling/Creating a shop

1. Stand close to a barrel or chest with no sign on it (there has to be space on at least one side of the block)
2. Hold the item you want to sell in your hand
3. Type /qs create [price]
   • Replace [price] with the price for ONE ITEM, not the amount you are holding
   • You can use fractional prices (eg: 0.1). The smallest possible price is 0.01 per item
4. A sign will be created on the barrel/chest and your shop is created

Right click your own shop to change its settings.

Instead of /qs you can also use /shop, /quickshop, /chestshop or /cshop in all of the commands.

Deleting a shop

1. Right click the shop sign
2. Click "Delete shop"
3. Confirm that you want to delete the shop
