Guide:Server Mall

For previous Mall builds, see: Mall

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 on how to use the Mall and associated plugins on the Dogcraft Server since it updated to Minecraft version 1.21.4. When the server updated to version 1.21.4 the Mall was updated to a new plugin, this means all shops created before the update no longer function.
Player Shops on the Dogcraft Server are a way of buying and selling goods in exchange for Dogcraft Dollars (DCD). Player Shops take the form of container (chests/barrels/etc) placed in a rented Mall Plot. This guide will walk through the process of renting a Mall Plot, setting up a Shop using the Shop plugin, and how to purchase from Player Shops.
The shop plugin is only available on the Mall world and cannot be used on any of the other worlds.

Renting A Plot

Available Mall Plot

In order to sell items in the Mall, A Player must first rent a Mall Plot to sell those items in.
How To Rent A Plot:

1. Find an empty Mall Plot. You can identify which plots are available for rent via the sign located in the right-hand corner of the plot. Green text means the plot is available, red text means it has already been rented to another Player.
2. Right click the sign to rent the plot. Renting costs 200 DCD per 5 days, the rent must be paid manually via the sign. You can rent at plot for a maximum of 60 days at a time, the amount of time you have left on your plot will be displayed on the plot sign.
3. By renting a plot Players understand that they are responsible for maintaining the rental time on said plot.
4. IMPORTANT NOTE- If the time left on your plot reaches 0 then your plot will reset. All items, Player Shops, and builds in said plot will be deleted. There is no way to recover these items once the plot has been reset.

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.
