MarketCraft is a fully-featured, production-ready auction house plugin built from the ground up for performance, flexibility, and a polished player experience. Whether you run a survival SMP, an economy-focused server, or a large network — MarketCraft gives your players a seamless marketplace to trade, bid, and profit.



Core Features

Dual Auction Types
Players can list items as a fixed-price Buy Now listing or open them up for competitive Bidding — giving your marketplace real depth and excitement.

Smart Category Browsing
Nine built-in item categories (Weapons, Armor, Tools, Blocks, Food, Potions, Enchantments, Misc, and All) with automatic item detection. No manual tagging needed.

Sorting & Search
Sort by Newest, Oldest, Price (low or high), or Ending Soon. Full-text search lets players instantly find what they're looking for.

Anti-Snipe Protection
Bids placed within a configurable time window before an auction ends automatically extend it — keeping bidding wars fair and exciting.

Shulker Box Preview
Players can open a preview GUI to inspect shulker box contents before buying. No more mystery boxes.

Collection Box System
Expired, unsold, and sold item payouts are safely held in a personal collection box. Players collect on their own time — nothing is ever silently deleted within the configurable retention window.

Listing & Sales Tax
Configurable percentage-based taxes on both listing creation and final sales — a perfect money sink for your economy.

Tiered Listing Limits
Permission-based listing slots ( marketcraft.listings.5 / 10 / 25 / 50 / 100) integrate cleanly with rank systems and donor perks.



Economy & Database

• Vault — works with any Vault-compatible economy plugin (EssentialsX, CMI, etc.)
• CoinsEngine / ExcellentEconomy — native support for multi-currency setups
• H2 (built-in, zero setup) | SQLite | MySQL — choose what fits your server
• HikariCP connection pooling for high-performance MySQL on large servers

Admin Tools

• Ban specific item materials from being listed (bedrock, command blocks, etc. blocked by default)
• Ban players from the auction house with optional reasons
• Force-cancel any auction or force-collect items for any player
• Hot-reload configuration without a server restart
• Admin statistics overview via /ah admin

Developer Friendly

MarketCraft ships with a clean public Java API so other plugins can interact with the auction house — query auctions, create listings programmatically, check bans, and format prices.

PlaceholderAPI is fully supported with both global and per-player placeholders for scoreboards, chat, and HUDs.
