========================================================
BarrelShops turns barrels into simple, powerful player shops.
Players just hit a barrel with the item in their hand, type a price in chat and the plugin does the rest:
* Auto-creates a shop sign in front of the barrel
* Shows a floating item above the barrel (no armor stands or hologram plugin needed)
* Handles trading through clean chat prompts – no commands required for normal players
It’s designed to feel like a modern, lightweight alternative to classic chest shop plugins, but focused entirely on barrels.
Highlights
- Barrel shops only – players instantly see what is a shop and what is just storage
- Floating item preview above each shop using packets (client-side entity, very light on performance)
- Sign auto-placement in front of the barrel with fully configurable lines and colors
- SELL & BUY shops – players can either buy from or sell to the shop (BUY mode can be disabled in config)
- AdminShops / Unlimited stock with custom name and “Unlimited” word
- Per-rank shop limits via permissions + configurable global max price
- Daily IP earnings limit to control how much money a single IP can generate in 24h
- Item blacklist (e.g. sticks, shulkers…) to prevent specific items being used in shops
- Explosion protection so TNT/creepers don’t blow up your economy
- WorldEdit / FAWE aware – shops are removed when you paste/delete regions and restored on //undo
- QuickShop-Hikari migration command for barrel shops (optional, if you use QS)
- All messages, sign text, currency symbol and timeouts are fully configurable
- Backed by SQLite – no external database required
- Place a barrel facing sideways (front must point to a horizontal side, not up/down).
- Hold the item you want to trade in your hand.
- Left-click the barrel (optionally Shift + Left-click if you enable that in the config).
- Enter the price per item in chat.
- Put stock inside the barrel.
- Other players click the shop sign to see an info menu and choose how many items to buy/sell via chat.
No complicated GUIs, just barrels, signs and clear chat prompts.
Smart economy controls
- Shop creation cost – charge players a configurable fee when they create a shop
- Per-trade tax – percentage fee taken from the one making profit (optional)
- Daily IP earnings limit –
– Tracks how much money an IP earned in the last 24h
– Blocks trades that would push them over the configured limit
– Optionally ignores the limit for very high-value trades (configurable threshold) - Max price limit – stop players from setting absurd prices
- Per-group shop limits –
– A default max shops count
– Extra limits bound to permission nodes (e.g. barrelshops.vip, barrelshops.legend…)
Player experience
