hShop
A very customisable and weirdly easy to use Shop plugin.

hShop
A fully customizable GUI shop plugin with multi-currency support, per-item cooldowns, buy limits, and a clean decoration system.
What is hShop?
hShop is a shop plugin I built because I was tired of bloated alternatives that made simple things complicated. It uses file-based categories (one yml per category), so adding new shop sections is as easy as dropping a new file into the categories/ folder.
Every item in every category is fully configurable, buy prices, sell prices, cooldowns, per player limits, currency type, slot position, enchantments, flags, etc. It's built to be readable and easy to edit.
Features
- File-based categories - each category has its own
.ymlfile, just drop it in and reload - Dual currency support - items can use either Vault or hShards as their currency, configurable per-item
- Buy limits - limit how many times a player can buy a specific item (resets are admin-controllable)
- Per-item cooldowns - set a cooldown in seconds on any item individually
- Confirm purchase menu - optional confirmation screen before a purchase goes through
- Decoration system - fully customize the look of menus with filler items, border layouts, navigation buttons and more via decoration yml files
- Custom icon slots - pin category icons to specific slots in the main menu, or leave them on AUTO
- Pagination - category pages auto-paginate with configurable next/prev buttons
- Sell support - players can sell items back through the shop GUI,
/sellhand, or/sellall - Global sell multiplier - scale all sell prices server-wide from a single config value
- Permission per category - restrict entire categories to specific permission nodes
- Sounds - configurable sounds for opening menus, successful purchases, sells, and failures
- Transaction logging - all buys and sells are logged to a file
- PlaceholderAPI support - via hShards integration
- Fully async-safe - data operations won't lag your main thread

icon-lore:
- "&7Buy and sell weapons."
- "&8Items: &7{item_count}"
- "&eClick to open!"
decoration: default
title: "&8» &a{category_name} &8« &7({page}/{total_pages})"
rows: 6
sort: 1
enabled: true
permission: ""

diamond_sword:
name: "&b&lDiamond Sword"
material: DIAMOND_SWORD

sell:

Item Lore Placeholders
These work inside any item's lore list:
| Placeholder | Description |
|---|---|
{buy_price} | Buy price of the item |
{sell_price} | Sell price of the item |
{currency} | Currency display name |
{currency_type} | Currency type (VAULT or HSHARDS) |
{buy_limit} | Max buy limit (-1 = ∞) |
{buy_limit_remaining} | How many the player can still buy |
{cooldown_remaining} | Time left on cooldown |
{buy_status} | Colored buyable status |
{sell_status} | Colored sellable status |
Multi-Currency
hShop supports two currencies side by side. Each item can have its own currency type, some items can cost Vault money, others can cost hShards, all in the same category. Set it per item with currency: VAULT or currency: HSHARDS.
hShards integration is automatic if the plugin is present on your server.
Works great with hShards
hShop pairs with hShards to give your server a second economy. Players earn shards by selling items, receiving them from admins, or through the interest system, then spend them in the shop on special items that cost HSHARDS instead of regular money.
