Guide
Server Mall
From Dogcraft Wiki
For previous Mall builds, see: Mall
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.
All commands relevant to the Mall can be found on the List of Commands page under the heading Mall Commands.
This is a transcript of the rules that is accurate at the time of posting, however to ensure you are following the rules correctly it is best to double check them in the mall itself on the Dogcraft Server
- You are responsible for rental time on your plot
- No one on staff can help you if your time runs out
- Do not build farms or use any redstone automation
- Items sold by the server, can not be sold for less
- Do not cause lag in the mall
- Players may only sell items in one mall plot
- Mall plots are defined as the following:
- A single plot owned and operated by one person
- A shared plot, owned by one person, shared with friends
- Community Chest plot, a server owned plot where multiple players can sell 1-2 items
Renting A 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- By renting a plot Players understand that they are responsible for maintaining the rental time on said plot.
- 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.
Selling/Creating a shop
Now that you have rented a Mall Plot, the next step is to set up a Player Shop to sell your items in.
- Place a barrel or chest in your plot and face it/target it with your crosshair
- Hold the item you want to sell in your hand
- Type
/qs create [price](replace [price] with the amount you want to charge for the item)- The price you set is how much a player will pay for 1 item not for the number of items 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.
Buying
One can find shops using the /qs find [item] command. (replacing [item] with the name of the item to look for). This will show you the coordinates of all Player Shops that sell said item.
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)
