This plugin was created to allow Real Coins in Minecraft. Most of the plugins, which introduce some Economy, use a virtual currency. For us it didn't feel like minecraft, so we tried to create a "real" currency made of a new item called coin.
The coin texture was taken from

Coins
Coins can be customized to be basically every item in minecraft. For the default version we used poisonous potatos, because they don't have a real usage in vanilla minecraft. We provide a small custom resource pack, which changes the texture of the potato to our own, if it is a coin.
Trading
To trade with our coins you first have to create a trading chest. This is done by placing a sign onto a chest with a configurable trading prefix (per default: [trading]):
Afterwards you have to right-click the sign with the item you want to trade, in this example gold:
You've successfully created a trading chest. The trading sign display a bunch of information:
- Ganzbaf: Owner of the trading sign. Only the owner may break the chest and sign
- gold ingot: The item to trade, inside the chest is now an unremovable copy of the item with a curse of binding
- 1 = 0: The price per piece. Both can be changed by left- and right-clicking the sign with the trade-item or some coins. The numbers are red if invalid
- stock: 0, the amount of items stored in the chest
It looks like this, when configured correctly:
Now the stock is larger than the given amount of items per trade (in this case 5) and a price was set. You may now buy 5 gold ingots for 1 coin.
To trade simply place an amount of items in the chest to buy some gold. The coins will disappear and the items appear as long as it is enough coin for one trade (in this case 1) and enough items are stocked:
Before the placing of coins in the chest:
After:
You've got 15 gold ingots for 3 coins.
Payout
You're probably wondering where the coins go. We wanted to virtualize as little as possible, but in this case they go to a hidden buffer IF you didn't create a coin chest (default prefix [coins]). In this case they will go to any chest marked as coin chest until the are filled up. If no storage is left, they go to your buffer.
You can see the state of the buffer at any times with the command "/coins".
Requirements
- Minecraft
- Optifine, if our resource pack is used
Configuration
If you don't want to use our resource pack you can also use for example player heads. Have a look at the configuration of the plugin, a default head is already present. You only have to enable it. In general, most things should be customizable.
Happy trading!!
