The [[Dogcraft.net|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 (Survival 4)|Mall]] is a designated area for these exchanges to take place.

The Mall can be accessed in the same fashion that any world can be selected on the Dogcraft server. Namely, type the command <code>/servers</code> 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.

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.
