Shop License Auction

To make a shop, you need to do is to be the highest bidder at the shop auctions. These auctions are announced near the end of every month.

Before building or renovating your shop, open a build ticket in Discord to receive approval. This is a mandatory requirement; please consult with our builder team before beginning construction.

Paying Rent

Shop license holders, please note the following:

• Each shop license holder is responsible for paying a monthly rent to maintain their license.
• Rent is due on the 1st of each month, deposited into your designated rent payment barrel on the floor above the Community Barrel Shops.
  • You are only able to keep one rent payment at a time in your payment chest.
  • Any additional payments will count as spawn storage and are against the shop rules.
• Your first month rent is covered by your winning shop bid amount; you do not need to pay the standard rent for your first month.
• The regular monthly rent is displayed on a sign to the left of the rent barrels.
• Failure to pay your monthly rent on time will result in your license being revoked and your entire shop and contents being forfeited to the Builder team storage.

Shop Owner Rules

If you are a shop plot owner or have a community barrel shop, you will be subject to the below rules to ensure the fairness of the shopping district.

General

• The shop license holder owns and has the rights to all items and builds in the shop. If the license holder is banned or loses graylist, the shop will be subject to removal or forfeiture, no exceptions.
  • This rule is in place to encourage shop owners to be positive and representative role models of the community.
  • Associates or assisting members involved with a shop should be aware of this rule.
• No signs or any form of advertising around the shopping district that point to your shop.
• Shops must not be visually disturbing (tall towers, blocking roads, etc.) or impede on other shop builds (to be determined on a case-by-case basis by the staff/builder team).
• No spawn storage allowed. What this means is that all valuable items, shop stock, etc. present in the shop area must be readily available to purchase at a reasonable price (you cannot use spawn protection to guard your loot against raiding, subject to enforcement at any time).
  • This rule applies to redstone vending/shop machines, all items present must serve a direct purpose to the functioning of the machine itself without manual intervention.
  • For example, shop items that automatically load into the machine’s dispenser or the valuables in the hopper filter are okay. However, leaving a shulker/chest of tools separate from the machine for restocking is not allowed.
• All owners of shops in the district are responsible for building their shops within 30 days of obtaining the license.
• Shops are expected to be stocked at reasonable intervals and remain active as long as the license is active (to be determined at staff discretion).
• No forms of discrimination are allowed through your shop, for any reason; you cannot ban specific players (if they have broken the rules, please open a ticket).
• Limits defined by the shop for items sold will not be enforced.
• Players can only have one shop license at a time. While “group shops” are allowed, the owner of a shop is whoever owns the shop license.
• Shops may only be built within the boundaries of the shopping district (X = -550 to -699, Z = 480 to 699)

Community Barrel Shops

Community barrel shops are in the building (image below) near the center of the shopping district. Players with Graylist may claim a barrel and sell items in the shopping district by using their barrel.

To claim a barrel place a sign on an empty and unclaimed barrel.

Staff limit each player to one barrel which is subject to the same rules and restrictions as other shop owners. Players who own a shop license are not allowed to reserve a barrel.

Barrels have additional and unique restrictions.

• You cannot put items you want to sell inside shulkers. Players must be able to buy items by interacting with the slots directly.
  • If the entire shulker is being sold for a set price, it is exempt from the rule above.
• By having a community barrel shop, you agree that staff may confiscate items that do not adhere to these rules.
• Community barrel shops will be cleared without warning after 30 days of inactivity.
