Description

BarterChest - Player-Run Shops for Hytale

Originially created for Hytale Together.  If you are not a server admin and you're looking for item based economies check out [play.hytaletogether.net]

Transform any chest into a fully functional player shop with BarterChest. Built for servers that want organic, player-driven economies without artificial currencies.


Features

Pure Barter System No coins, no virtual currency. Players trade items for items directly. You set what you're selling and what you want in return.

Simple Setup

  1. Craft a Barter License (5 Linen Scraps + 1 Gold Bar) at any Workbench
  2. Right-click a chest to claim it as your shop
  3. Configure your listing through the intuitive UI
  4. Stock your chest and you're open for business

Floating Item Display Each shop displays the item being sold above the chest so customers can see at a glance what's available.

Shop Protection Shops and surrounding blocks are protected from griefing. Owners remove shops through the menu, ensuring clean teardown.

Automatic Transactions Secure item transfers happen instantly when customers purchase. No risk of scams or failed trades.

SimpleClaims Integration Works seamlessly with SimpleClaims. Players can only create shops within their claimed territory.
