Dynamic Prices creates a server-wide shop with changing prices. It is similar to DynamicEconomy, but aims to be more simple and easier to understand.

How It Works

• Starting prices are configurable.
• Each time a user buys an item, its price increases by 1.
• A user can sell an item for one less than the buying price.
• Each time a user sells an item, its price decreases by 1.

Features

• Uses Vault.
• Allows for custom damage values. (For example, birch wood would have a different price than oak wood.)

Configuration (Changed with 0.2.1!)

There are three configuration files: config.yml, prices.yml, and signs.yml Example prices.yml:

emerald:
  id: 388
  price: 1
  static: true
stone:
  id: 1
  price: -64
oak-wood:
  id: 17
  price: -96
spruce-wood:
  id: 17
  data: 1
  price: -95
birch-wood:
  id: 17
  data: 2
  price: -97
jungle-wood:
  id: 17
  data: 3
  price: -96
diamond:
  id: 264
  price: 2

• In the above example, users can buy/sell emerald, stone, all types of wood, and diamond.
• Diamond's price is 2. That means that users can buy 1 diamond for 2 currency, and can sell it for 1 currency.
• Stone's price is -64. That means that users can buy 64 stone for 1 currency, and can sell 65 stone for 1 currency.
• The name you see is the name users will see. It is recommended to make it clear what the item is.
• Notice how the data is set for each of the types of wood. The prices for each type are independent.
• For emerald, "static" is set to true. This means that the price will not change when users buy/sell emeralds. This is useful if your economy has a "base unit." For example, some admins may want to make it so that gold ingots are always worth 100 currency. Note: Item names currently cannot have spaces. That's why dashes are used above.

example config.yml:

buy-sell-difference: 1
price-change: 1

• This means that the difference between the buy and sell prices will always be one (unless the item is static)
• Every time the item is bought or sold, its price will change by 1 currency.

You should not change the signs.yml. It has the signshop locations and will change automatically.

Commands

• /buy: Gives the user a list of items currently available to buy, along with their prices
• /buy <item>: Buys the item for the current price.
• /sell: Gives the user a list of items currently available to sell, along with their prices
• /sell: <item> Sells the item for the current price.
• /shop reload: reloads prices from prices.yml

Permissions

• dynamicprices.buy: Allows the /buy command
• dynamicprices.sell: Allows the /sell command
• dynamicprices.shop: Allows the /shop command

SignShops

• On the first line, add: "[shop]"
• On the second line, add the item name. Prices will automatically be displayed.
• Left click on the sign to buy.
• Right click to sell.

Todo

• Add a command to manually change prices
• Add more config settings (suggestions?)
