The idea of this trading plugin was it to bring scam-free trading to the players. This plugin uses Vault to hook into the servers economy.

How it works

A player can start a trade by executing the command /trade <player> after which the requested player has two minutes to accept the request by clicking the chat-button or typing /accepttrade <player>. Once a player has accepted the trade request, the trade inventory will open:

Start Trading Inventory

Within this trading inventory you can adjust your offer and see what the other players wants to offer you. You can use the empty slots on the left to trade items or the buttons below your player head to trade currency or do both. Once you have a valid offer, you can click the button in the bottom center to submit your offer.

Offered Trading Inventory

Once your trading partner has submitted his offer, you can review it and confirm the offer or change it. Note: Whenever you change your offer, the trading state will reset and both players will have to submit their offer again.

Both Offered Trading InventoryConfirm Trade Inventory

When both of you have confirmed the trade, a countdown of 5 seconds start. You have a last chance to change your offer while the countdown runs but note that again, the trading state will reset for both of you. Once the countdown runs out, the trade will be executed.

Security Checks

There are several security checks which can be enabled/disabled in the plugins config.

  • IP-Check: Checks if the players have the same IP and prevents trading in that case.
  • World-Check: Checks if the players are both in the same world.
  • Distance-Check: Checks if the players are both in the same world and within a configurable distance.
