Likewise, another great way to make money is via player-created shops. If you type /spawn and go to the right, you will find the global market district. Lots of shops allow players to sell to them, so you can make quite a bit of money collecting blocks and selling them to player shops.
Player shops consist of signs attached to chests - meaning that the block/item being sold or bought has a finite inventory dependent upon the size of the adjacent chest. A typical shop sign will look like this:
Shop Owner's Name |
Item Quantity Per Transaction |
Buy Price : Sell Price |
Item Name |
From that sign you can deduce a lot of info. Shop owner's name is the person who owns the chest and shop, so they're the person who your transaction affects - if you buy from the shop, that person gets paid instantly whatever you just spent. Likewise, if you sell to the shop, that person's account gets debited for the amount you just made. Doing /player playername will show you the person in question and allow you to determine if they have enough funds to justify selling to them.
Item quantity per transaction is the number of items/blocks that will be bought or sold each time you transact with the sign. Right clicking a sign allows you to buy that number of items for the specified buy price (if there is one); left clicking a sign allows you to sell that number of items for the specified sell price (if there is one). The item in question is listed on the bottom of the sign - sometimes, however, there are item IDs involved, like Log:1 or Leaves:6. In these cases, the extra number is specifying the type of log or leaf block involved - Log:1, for instance, means a Spruce Log.
Anyhow, there are tons of these shops scattered about the spawn district, where you can sell your wares. Notable places to go for selling your own items are:
- Duelcon's Emporium
- Miner_man123456's Shop
- Seastore
- Supersourmonkey's Shop
- TidalMewMew's Shop
- TwistedLover's Shop
Of course, there are lots of other shops in the spawn district, but most of them only allow you to buy items and not sell items. The shops I listed are pretty close to the entrance of the market district, so they should all be pretty easy to locate. My advice is that you take a look at the items in each one and figure out what sorts of things you want to sell! Some shops are pretty specialized, like TidalMewMew's for instance, whereas others offer wide selections of items. The best way to find out is to explore!
Hope I helped, and I hope to see you selling items to shops in the market district!
And finally, a shameless plug for my shop:
Check out the Seastore when it opens in the coming week, it should be pretty useful if you're looking to make money!
