The Dogcraft Server features a buying and selling plugin known as UltimareShops. This plugin allows players to create "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 at the Mall's spawn point, found by looking down.

This guide will help you through the Mall experience step by explaining the physical mall layout, using the chest 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. 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.

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:

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

Selling/Creating a shop

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)
Hold the item you want to sell in your hand
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
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

Right click the shop sign
Click "Delete shop"
Confirm that you want to delete the shop

-To create a chest shop, players will need a chest and a sign. First, place the chest, and then the sign onto the chest or on the block in front of it. The vanilla sign writing interface will appear. Each of the four written line of the sign indicate a certain specification of the resulting shop. As previously mentioned, there are three types of shop that can be created, each has a slightly different creation process.
-==== Sell Shops ====
-[[File: Sell shop final.PNG|thumb|''A completed sell shop, selling cooked chicken.'']]
-Must be formatted as such;
-'''Top Line''': To indicate to the server that this will be a shop, the sign must contain the text <code>[shop]</code> on the top row.
-'''Second Line''': Type the numerical amount of an item you would like to sell for a certain amount of DCD (''Note: this is not the amount of stock currently stored in the shop, as was the case in the formerly used QuickShop plugin)''.
-'''Third Line''': Type the numerical amount of DCD you would like in return for the entry placed on the second line.
-'''Bottom Line''': Type the text <code>sell</code>, to indicate a sell shop.
-Once this is entered onto the sign, press enter. Afterwards, left-click (punch) the sign with the item you would like to sell. At this point, the text on the sign should turn from red to green, and the shop is activated. Remember to stock the shop with the items it is selling.
-To purchase from a sell shop, go up to it and right-click '''the sign itself'''. There is no confirmation step, so be careful as you will be charged for your purchase. To see a preview of the shop's specifications, right-click '''the chest itself'''.
-==== Buy Shops ====
-[[File: Buy shop final.PNG|thumb|''A completed buy shop, buying 1 carrot-on-a-stick.'']]
-Must be formatted as such;

-'''Second Line''': Type the numerical amount of an item you would like to buy for a certain amount of DCD.
-'''Third Line''': Type the numerical amount of DCD you would like to spend for the entry placed on the second line.
-'''Bottom Line''': Type the text <code>buy</code>, to indicate a buy shop.
-Once this is entered onto the sign, press 'Done'. You will exit the sign interface and the text will format and turn red. Afterwards, left-click (punch) the sign with the item you would like to buy. If you do not own the item you would like to buy, punch the chest without an item in your hand. Then, open your inventory using as usual, and you will enter the creative menu. Find and select the item you would like to buy and 'throw' it out of your inventory (an example is featured to the right). At this point, the text on the sign should turn from red to green, and the shop is activated.

-To sell to a buy shop, go up to it and right-click '''the sign itself'''. Ensure that you have the item the shop is buying in your inventory. The shop will take items from there in increments of the amount the shop buys. To see a preview of the shop's specifications, right-click '''the chest itself'''.
-==== Barter Shops ====
-[[File: Barter shop final.PNG|thumb|''A completed barter shop, swapping 1 dirt for 10 beacons.'']]
-Must be formatted as such;
-'''Top Line''': To indicate to the server that this will be a shop, the sign must contain the text <code>[shop]</code> on the top row.
-'''Second Line''': Type the numerical amount of an item you are willing to barter away.
-'''Third Line''': Type the numerical amount of a different item you are willing to barter for the entry placed on the second line.
-'''Bottom Line''': Type the text <code>barter</code>, to indicate a barter shop.
-Once this is entered onto the sign, press 'Done'. You will exit the sign interface and the text will format and turn red. Afterwards, left-click (punch) the sign with the item you would like to barter away. Then, left-click (punch) the sign with the item you would like to barter for. If you do not own the item you would like to barter for, punch the chest without an item in your hand. Then, open your inventory using as usual, and you will enter the creative menu. Find and select the item you would like to buy and 'throw' it out of your inventory. At this point, the text on the sign should turn from red to green, and the shop is activated. Remember to stock the shop with the item it is bartering away.
-To use a barter shop, go up to it and right-click '''the sign itself'''. Ensure that you have the item the shop is bartering for in your inventory. The shop will take items from there in increments of the amount the shop barters for and replace them with the item and amount it barters away. To see a preview of the shop's specifications, right-click '''the chest itself'''.
-==== Shop Ownership ====
-Other players will not be able to open or break someone's chest shop irrespective of the [[Guide to Claiming|claim]] situation, and it is not possible to allow people to do so with commands. To remove your chest shop, break the sign attached to the chest. The chest will become a vanilla instance. It is worth noting that shops can be created in [[Survival 4|Survival worlds]] as well as the Mall.
