AxeShop — Dynamic Economy Shop

Prices that move with the market, not with a spreadsheet.

AxeShop is a server shop where every item has a live price. Buy and sell activity shifts that price, so a bamboo farm can no longer print money and scarce goods actually stay valuable.

✦ Supply & demand pricing

price = base price × (1 + net demand × impact)

• Selling a lot of an item pushes its price down
• Buying a lot of an item pushes its price up
• Prices are clamped between a configurable minimum and maximum multiplier
• The market slowly recovers toward base prices over time, so crashes self-correct instead of ruining an item forever

Net demand per item is tracked server-wide and shown live in the GUI with a trend arrow (▲ rising, ▼ falling, ● stable).

✦ Built-in anti-farming

This is the whole point. If your players discover that one crop prints money, the price for that crop collapses until farming it is worthless — and the next crop they switch to is cheap. No manual patching, no per-item bans.

✦ 21 categories / 237 items

Farming · Ores · Mob Drops · Wood · Food · Nether · Ocean · Redstone · Wool · Dyes · Tools · Decor · Concrete · Blocks · Common · Mineral Blocks · The End · Stone · Brewing · Nature

Every material is unique across the catalogue, so /sell always resolves to exactly one price.

✦ Buy & Sell screens

• Left-click an item → Buy confirmation
• Right-click an item → Sell confirmation
• Both screens offer x1 / x16 / x32 / x64 with live totals
• Separate screens, no guessing which button does what

✦ Tax

A configurable sell tax (default 5%) is taken on every sell. It is always shown separately so players can see exactly what they receive.

✦ Rank discounts

Give a LuckPerms group axeshop.discount.5 and they get 5% off every buy. Any value works, and the highest one the player holds applies. Discounts never reduce tax — tax stays tax.

✦ Full in-game editor

/ashop admin opens a complete shop editor:

• Add / remove / rename categories
• Change a category icon from the item in your hand
• Add any item you're holding, with buy/sell prices typed in chat
• Edit or disable the buy or sell price of any item
• Set the global tax rate
• Reset the entire market back to base prices
