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.

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.
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: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.
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.

It's really just a courtesy request on his part. Since we use the MIT license because we want other modders to be able to use our work to create other cool mods there isn't anything we can do to prevent it. However, your offer to host it with a link to curseforge is also appreciated!
While you are available, how are the chinese translations in our mods? We don't speak chinese but we typically translate to chinese and then back to english- and if the translation changes, then we use different word choices until it is stable in both directions. We also try to be aware of some preferred idioms like "with best regards".

Coming soon... Spider pig.. spider pig.. a lot less frightenign than a spider.. it's a pig...
In reply to MacTso:
this is just a statement, the current Chinese translation is good,but,It is recommended to modify it to "自动售货机".

That's because his share post is in very poor quality,include machine-translate,which is not allowed in MCBBS.I reported this to our admin and I'll get reply soon.
I know that your mod is using the The MIT License Copyright, and I hope to get another permission for share your mod(And reject another one permission).Of course I will direct the download link to your CurseForge mod page.

In reply to jiuyaolx:
我的帖子确实有问题，我也在改正，我确实没有看到你的帖子，你让管理员删帖吧你重新申请授权吧。这一切都是我的疏忽，我只是想当大家知道这个模组而已，请原谅我是个萌新，好吗
不客气
In any creative or survival, you can press F3+H and minecraft will show you the domain:item (minecraft:dirt, abbynormal:brain) when you mouse over it.
In reply to MacTso:... Cool! Thanks!
Well it's odd. My reply to him was flagged as spam but I also can't delete it. That's a catch 22 I guess.
In reply to MacTso: ... I've had 2 posts marked as spam in the past few years - both were large posts. Thats why I now use 'spoilers' to make large posts smaller: so far so good.
