Vending Machine
A fun little mod that lets players buy a random (or fixed) set of 7 items from a vending machine.
The Basics
This mod works in two modes.
1) A random vending machine spawns randomly in Villages! It will contain a random selection of minecraft and modded items each day.
2) A fixed vending machine with preset selected items in it for scenario map building which is placed by map designers.
Ready to Go
The defaults allow any normal player to add Vending Machines without needing configuration. They are reasonable values and exclude game breaking items from vending machines.
Default Vending machines appearing randomly in villages. Each morning they restock with 7 random different items.
Common items sell for 1 emerald each. You can buy up to 8 of the same item before it runs out.
Uncommon items sell for 16 emeralds each. You can buy up to 4 of the same item.
Rare items sell for 32 emeralds each. You can buy up to 2 of the same item.
Epic items sell for 64 emeralds You can buy one item.
The Vending Machines restock with a new selection of 7 random items each morning.
And.. there are plentiful configuration options for mod pack designers and map makers.
The configuration file, which is a server config, is found in serverconfig for the saved world (e.g. saves/New World/serverconfig) and is called vm-server.toml.
The configuration file, now is a common config, is found in the config folder and is called vm-common.toml.
Fixed Vending Machines
Map designers can set up a fixed vending machines with up to 7 set items and place them on the map. Excellent for Post Apocalyptic maps!
Then, they can change the configuration file to a different set of 7 items and place those vending machines on the map.
So a map designer could have food vending machines, potion vending machines, etc.
Currency
The default currency is emeralds. You can configure it to any item: emeralds, diamonds, eggs, shulker boxes, silver coins, etc.
Cost
You can configure the cost and limit of items.
By default:
Common items cost 1 currency units and players can buy up to 8 items. .
Uncommon items cost 16 currency units and players can buy up to 4 items.
Rare item items cost 32 currency units and players can buy up to 2 items.
Epic items cost 64 currency units and players can only buy up to 1 items.
If you set the price for a category to 0 currency units then they will not be offered.
You can now set all items from a mod to a given rarity for pricing/cost by doing "modid:*=3", this would set all items from "modid" to Epic.
Mod Include And Exclude lists.
The include mod is handled first, the exclude mod is handled second, and the include items is handled last.
Include Mod Lists
You may include all mods by putting a "*". (default)
You may include only minecraft by adding "minecraft".
You may include only specific mods by putting their names.
Group Lists
These control creative tab groups inclusion or exclusion.
Exclude Mod Lists
You may exclude all items from a mod.
For example: You can include all items from a mod by mod and then exclude a few items you don't want vending machines to sell.
Include Group Lists
These include specific tabs from the creative menu
The default is include all tabs.
Exclude Group Lists
These exclude specific tabs from the creative menu. The default is "!" which means to exclude any items not on any creative tab.
Example: "!;decorations" excludes "any items not on a tab; and any items on the decoration tab"
Valid group names are: tabs: building_blocks, decorations, redstone, transportation, misc, food, tools, combat, brewing
Item Lists
Exclude Item Lists
You may exclude specific items from minecraft or a mod.
However! "Operator Only" items like Command Blocks, Structure Blocks, etc. will not be sold except when set up by the map developer in a fixed item vending machine.
Fixed Machine List
A list of up to 7 items for fixed Vending Machines placed the next time you run minecraft. You may define a new fixed machine each time you run minecraft.
So you could configure a food vending machine- run minecraft and place several food vending machines.
Then you could configure a drink vending machine- run minecraft and place several drink vending machines.
And so on.
Here's an example configuration sample:
#Use fixed items
UseFixedItems = true
#Fixed items
FixedItems = "minecraft:iron_chest;minecraft:iron_leggings;minecraft:iron_sword;minecraft:bow;minecraft:air;minecraft:air;minecraft:air"
If you misspell an entry, or put in too few items, the slots will be set to "minecraft:air".
It now supports an optional expanded format, if the rarity system doesn't fit your needs. For example, if you wanted to sell 4 honey bottles for 8 coal (8 times), you would enter this for one of the fields:
"minecraft:honey_bottle,4,minecraft:coal,8,8"
Minable
If this option is turned on then it requires a diamond pickaxe with silk touch to get the vending machine otherwise you get either some iron ingots or nothing.
Note: Vending Machines will allow you "win" minecraft in superflat worlds (eventually!) since they are a source of some otherwise unavailable items.

is it possible to have whitelist for items to be sold on the config file ?
Thanks man, lupicus has been working on 1.17. Some of the MC code is quite different so don't have an estimate yet.
Love the mod it doesnt ruin the vanilla experience, really cannot wait for a 1.17.1 version thank you for all your efforts your mods are amazing
Thanks! We are always interested in suggestions either here in the curseforge forums, in our discord (link above), or as a GitHub issue.
Many features in our mods are the result of user suggestions. Our goal is generally to let you play the way you want to play while setting the defaults the way we like to play.
With best Regards,
Two Guys,

So I have an idea on how this could be expanded upon. What if you made the vending machines craftable, allowed players to specify their own 'trades' to be used as a shop block, where there is no currency, but rather if a user wants to sell a stack of cooked chicken for 3 diamonds, they can do that. Or if they want to sell a special enchanted pick for a diamond block, they can do that too. If interested I have a bunch of other ideas on how to expand upon this, let me know we can chat.
In reply to z1haze:
Kinda like the vending machines in Rust?
how do i make it so the trades never lock?
In reply to matriously:
the defaults should change trades every new day, but if restock is turned off, it is a fixed trade machine or daylight cycle is off then it will not.
First Id like to say you have done an amazing job on this. Id like to ask if there is a possibility that you could up the amount from 7 to something higher. If you cant do you mind showing me how? I'd like to use it in my server but the custom amount is to low for me to use it the way id like to
I suggest that mod items are disabled by default, otherwise the mod at default is way to OP!!! It is offering me late game machines and creative only items for 1 emerald.
In reply to aAndrew3030:
I kind of agree now, but is a little late, since some people might like it and it is supposed to be configured for modpacks. You can just change the config to set IncludeMods = "minecraft" to get your behavior.
The prices are based on the "common, uncommon, rare, epic" value set for each item. Unfortunately, minecraft and modmakers are not very reliable for setting that value. You can override it (I did in our modpack) for the worst cases. In our pack, I overrode some things to be uncommon or rare and all workstations to be epic (and removed workstation recipes from the game). Then I set epic to cost 45 diamonds.
You can correct prices by setting the rarity of items to a better rarity value. Here's part of our two guys Modpack file as an example...
#Change item rarity value (0,1,2,3) for pricing
ItemRarity = "minecraft:emerald_block=1;minecraft:diamond_block=1;minecraft:diamond=2;minecraft:armorset*diamond=1;minecraft:toolset*diamond=1;
minecraft:anvil=2;minecraft:trident=3;minecraft:bell=2;minecraft:shulker_shell=2;minecraft:conduit=3;minecraft:nautilus_shell=2;
eggset*peaceful=1;eggset*monster=2;minecraft:evoker_spawn_egg=3;minecraft:netherite_scrap=2;minecraft:ancient_debris=3;minecraft:elytra=3;
minecraft:chorus_flower=2;minecraft:end_stone=2;quark:ancient_tome=3;torchbowmod:multitorch=3;ceramics:golden_bricks=2;
storage_drawers:creative_storage_upgrade=3;byg:ametrine_gems=3;byg:pendorite_scraps=3;minecraft:ghast_tear=1;scalinghealth:heart_crystal=2;
scalinghealth:heart_crystal_shard=1;ea:ea_netherite_boots=3;redstonemagic:redstonemagic_helmet=3;minecraft:blast_furnace=3;
minecraft:smoker=3;minecraft:lectern=3;minecraft:brewing_stand=2;minecraft:cartography_table=3;minecraft:composter=3;
minecraft:fletching_table=3;minecraft:stonecutter=3;minecraft:loom=3;minecraft:smithing_table=3;minecraft:grindstone=3;"
And here's how I overrode the prices for epic items to diamonds.
[RarityData][RarityData]
#Epic Uses #Range: 0 ~ 32
EpicUses = 1
#Epic Item
EpicItem = "minecraft:diamond"
#Epic Cost #Range: 0 ~ 64
EpicCost = 45
Here is our standard "include/exclude filter". Include everything and then exclude selected mods, then exclude particular items.
#Include Mods
IncludeMods = "*"
#Exclude Mods
ExcludeMods = "draconicevolution;avaritia;botania;dragonmounts;mutantbeasts;structurize;doomweapon;enderium;dungeons_gear;dungeonmods;ea;"
#Exclude Items
ExcludeItems = "minecraft:nether_star;minecraft:beacon;minecraft:bedrock;minecraft:shulker_box;minecraft:colorset*shulker_box;minecraft:end_portal_frame;minecraft:armorset*netherite;minecraft:toolset*netherite;minecraft:netherite_block;minecraft:netherite_ingot;vm:vending_machine;byg:ametrine_ore;byg:ametrine_block;byg:armorset*ametrine;byg:pendorite_ore;byg:pendorite_block;byg:toolset*pendorite;toolset*doom:necrum;redstonemagic:redstonemagic_helmet;redstonemagic:redstonemagic_chestplate;redstonemagic:redstonemagic_leggings;redstonemagic:redstonemagic_boots;valhelsia_structures:special_spawner;storage_drawers:creative_vending_upgrade;ea:ea_netherite_chestplate; ea:ea_netherite_helmet; ea:ea_netherite_leggings; redstonemagic:redstonemagic_boots;redstonemagic:redstonemagic_chestplate; redstonemagic:redstonemagic_leggings"
Hope this helps- Two Guys
P.S. the more items you have in the pack- the less this matters. If the vending machines are offering from a pool of 21,000 items you may never see some at all.
I'd like to use the 'ExcludeItems' setting more efficiently - I see that you use:
armorset* / colorset* / toolset*
I'd like to exclude vanilla items, such as all variations of: concrete / concrete_powder / slabs / trapdoors / fence_gate / terracotta / etc.
Are there other global/general 'tags' that I can use to stop vending-machine showing me stone/wood/etc variations of vanilla items that are simple to make?
In reply to aplayerin2020:
Currently not. I might try to add item tag support which you could use (e.g. #slabs), but it could be tricky since they don't seem to be loaded when config file is processed.
In reply to lupicus: ... Oh, I see - the next question then would be: is there a limit to how long the 'ExcludeItems' setting string can be (ie. 256/32767/65535/ etc characters)?
I use Notepad++ so its easy to count characters in a line, but to know any possible limit would help greatly since I would feel confident in making a setting string massively long if I knew that it would work.
In reply to aplayerin2020:
I'm not sure what the limit is. Ideally, we would be using array of strings, so lines would be short, but it doesn't work in forge.
Well the more simple way I had tried didn't work (though cadiboo had a fix for, but never got into forge), but there is a way to get list to work, which I'll use in the 1.17 version.
In reply to aplayerin2020:
The "colorset*" can be used for concrete, concrete_powder and terracotta. That shortcut just appends the 16 color names in from of the following name.
So, for those 3, you can add "minecraft:colorset*concrete;minecraft:colorset*concrete_powder;minecraft:colorset*terracotta".
In reply to lupicus: - Cool, thanks! I knew that some of the 'tags' worked but from testing (with limited VendMachines at my local villages - I did remove vm from the exclude list), it seems I need BOTH "colorset" & the un-colored/dyed "item", but I might be getting confused between 'terracotta vs glazed_terracotta' & 'concrete vs powdered_concrete'.
Rekn I'll try creative mode to make tons of vm's to do a proper test.
Thanks for the advice!
Thank you for the feedback. I'm passing it on to lupicus.
