A minified version of our market system is now available for beta testing in front of the admin building at spawn. There you may find one chest that represents how the market will work.
In our market system, chests will have categories. For example, the current chest that is available is "Cooked Food" meaning only the following items can be sold there: Bread, Cooked Porkchop, Steak, Cooked Chicken, Cake, Cookie, Mushroom Stew, Baked Potato, and Pumpkin Pie.
Categories allow the market to have some visual flavor to it and it keeps it from being an unwieldy search-entire-chest situation that some other chestshop plugins/servers have.
In order to sell an item at market you must, after putting in your items to sell, indicate a selling price. The Market system will walk you through this. As for currency, the variety of ores are how you indicate price of items. For example, you can sell an item by typing 12i to sell that item(s) for 12 iron ingots. Other supported ores include diamonds, gold ingots, and emeralds.
Obviously you must have the required ores in your inventory in order to make a purchase. Upon completing a purchase, the seller will then be notified of their sale purchase and then can visit the escrow chest in order to claim their earnings.
Please give it a thorough testing if you can. I'll dispense emeralds and some food items at random to people to help encourage testing the shop. Of course, and as always, try to break it!
Have fun and expect the rest of the market to be live in the coming days. Happy Marketing!
