Secure Trade

Secure Trade adds a direct player-to-player trade menu for multiplayer worlds, co-op servers, and modpacks.

Trade items and experience with another player from anywhere: across a base, across the map, or even across dimensions. No more running back home just to hand over ores, tools, drops, or XP.

Why Use It?

Minecraft multiplayer often splits players across different jobs and locations. One player may be mining, another crafting at base, and someone else exploring the Nether or a modded dimension.

Secure Trade keeps that flow intact: send a trade request, review both offers, confirm the exchange, and keep playing.

By default, trades are not limited by distance or dimension. Server owners can keep that freedom or configure stricter rules for distance, dimensions, item restrictions, cooldowns, logging, and trade history.

How It Works

1. Run /trade <player>.
2. The other player accepts the request from chat.
3. Both players receive a shared trade screen.
4. Each side adds items and/or XP.
5. Both players confirm their offers.
6. A short countdown starts, then the exchange completes.

Changing offered items or XP after confirming automatically resets readiness so both players can review the updated trade.

Commands

Configuration

The server configuration file is created at:

config/securetrade-server.toml

Server owners can configure request timeouts, cooldowns, countdown duration, maximum trade distance, cross-dimension trading, dimension restrictions, item blacklists, trade history size, and transaction logging.

Modpacks can also restrict items through the #securetrade:untradeable item tag. Tagged items follow the same recursive container checks as IDs listed in blacklistedItems.

Safety

Both players must confirm before a trade completes. Offered items and XP are validated again during the exchange, readiness resets when an offer changes, and players cannot confirm without enough inventory space for incoming items.

If a player disconnects during a trade, their offered items are safely returned. Items that cannot fit into an inventory are dropped instead of being deleted.
