Description

Barter Shop

A player-to-player trading mod for Hytale servers. Set up your own shop, configure trades, and let other players buy from you, even when you're offline.

 

Features

Shops

  • Player-owned shops - Place a Barter Shop block and become its owner
  • Custom trades - Configure what you're selling and what you want in return
  • Edit trades - Modify existing trades in-place
  • Buy orders - Set up trades where you buy items from players
  • Offline trading - Customers can trade with your shop while you're away
  • Chest integration - Shop pulls from and deposits to nearby containers (configurable range)
  • Stock tracking - See how many trades are available based on your inventory
  • Unlimited stock mode - Infinite stock for admin/server shops
  • Trade history - View logs of who bought what and when, with lifetime revenue
  • Custom shop names - Name your shop anything you want
  • Co-owners - Let other players edit your shop's trades and settings

Auction House

  • Auction stand block - Place it to spawn an auctioneer NPC
  • Browse, bid, and list items - Full auction system with timed listings
  • Multiple currencies - Auction with any configured currency or EcoTale
  • Claims system - Won items and outbid refunds collected from a claims tab

EcoTale Integration (Optional)

  • Virtual currency - Use EcoTale money to buy, sell, and auction alongside item barter
  • Mixed trades - Combine item payments with EcoTale in a single trade
  • Requires EcoTale installed separately. Works without it too — purely item-based barter

Admin

  • In-game config - Adjust all settings from the Admin tab (currencies, chest range, auction durations, etc.)
  • /shopadmin - Toggle admin edit mode to manage any player's shop
  • /shopreload - Hot-reload config, shops, auctions, and translations without restarting
  • SimpleClaims compatible - Customers can use shops in claimed chunks

How It Works

  1. Craft a Barter Shop (3 Iron Bars + 5 Copper Bars at a workbench)
  2. Place it near chests containing your trade goods
  3. Interact (F key) to open the configuration GUI
  4. Create trades - select items you're selling and what you want as payment
  5. Customers interact with your shop to browse and complete trades
