What is BarrelShops? 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
How players use it
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…)
