BlackMarket Plugin

Overview

BlackMarket is an exclusive, highly customizable GUI-based black market shop plugin for your Minecraft server. It brings a unique dynamic economy experience by offering randomly opening shops or fixed-duration black markets. With built-in purchase tracking and an integrated Admin GUI Editor, managing rare or illegal item sales has never been easier or more immersive!

Features

• Dynamic Shop Availability: Choose between an always-open shop, or a thrilling random-open system that alerts players when the market appears!
• Random Pick Mode: Want a rotating shop? Enable random-pick and define how many items to showcase! The plugin will organically select items and display them neatly.
• Stock Market Mode: Items are restricted by a global stock limit. If stock-market is enabled, an item's price will dynamically double when it completely sells out!
• Strict Purchase Limits: Prevent economy abuse by setting a player-purchase-limit per opening phase, tracked reliably via SQLite.
• In-Game GUI Editor: Admins can easily add, edit, or adjust items (prices, GUI slots, and stocks) directly in-game without touching config files.
• Advanced GUI Effects: Smooth custom animations (like slide in the config) and stylized UI menus.
• Immersive Alerts System: When the market opens, alert your entire server using Titles, Broadcasts, Fireworks, and Sounds.
• Discord Integration via Webhooks: Automatically notify your Discord community precisely when the in-game black market opens, complete with custom Bot names and avatars!
• Robust Economy Integration: Soft-depends on Vault to securely handle all transactions. Also supports PlaceholderAPI and Citizens!
