First of all u have 2 Items and 1 Block (and i have to apologise for my bad english :D)
AND this mod is for Multiplayer, where u can make Admin Shops or NPCs Shops like in Custom NPCs (So, like an RPG Server has)
The 2 Items are 2 sorts of money.
- silvercoin (SC)
- goldcoin (GC)
Both Coins should be stackable to 1000.
Und u can Trade 1000 of SCs to 1 GC at the "Auction-Block".
The next thing is the "Auction-Block". U can right click on him to open the first GUI. U have 4 Tabs, so 4 different GUIs (GUI-1, GUI-2, GUI-3, GUI-4)
All GUIs have the function to switch to the other GUIs (like a Button with "1", "2", "3" and "4" on the top like in creative or symbols for this numbers)
First GUI (functions):
Make an Auction.
1. You need a slot for the "Item"
- Drag and Drop from your Inventory GUI (So u need an Inventory GUI too, below the first GUI)
2. U need a bar (like a searchbar) to type the price in
- Type like "100" to sell your Item for 100 SCs, type "10.000" to sell ure Item for 10 GCs
3. U need a bar to type the days (max. should be 7/14 or 30 days and)
4. A Accept and a Decline button
- Decline button let your Item for auction move back to your inventory and clear the days and price
- Accept button apply the price and days and put the Item (for you) to GUI-2 and for others to GUI-3.
So now, what are GUI-2 and GUI-3?
Gui-2 (functions):
This is the Overview for your items in auction.
1. You see the Item
2. You see the actual bets or the startprice
3. You see the time how long this item will be still on auction (How many "days:hours:seconds" are left, okay, seconds don't have to, but days and hours would be nice)
4. And a Decline Button. U can only press it, when no one betted on it. It delete ure Item on auction and your Item move into your inventory.
5. Wait, the last thing for GUI-2 is a search and scroll bar, search bar and scroll bar like in creative
Gui-3 (functions):
This is the Overview for item of other players
1. You see the Item
2. You see the actual bets or the startprice
3. You see the time how long this item will be still on auction
4. a bet bar
5. an accepts button, to accept your bet
6. search and scroll bar
Gui-4 (functions):
Here is the Storage earned money by selling items, overbid auction, when u get your money back and bought items AND the Trader for 1000 SC to 1GC in both directions
1. U have an Unlimited Storage for your money and bought items, and there is a button to accpet the items
- u cannot drop Items in this storage, u can only accepts the items over a button and the items move into your inventory
2. U have a Trade function, so 2x2 slots, like:
[1000 SC] -> [1 GC]
[1 GC] -> [1000 SC]
3. Because have the trade thing here, the Inventory GUI has to displayed here to, so why not display it below all the 4 GUIs?!
So, this is a short overview of my idea and i think its hard to make this. And i dont need Economy Plugins, i need Items (with bit Stacks) for Shops of Custom NPCs (Mod).
Thx for reading! I tried my best to explain it and sorry for mistakes in the language =)
Have a nice day and i hope, i see soon some ideas or tries for this mod!
A small comment: It's difficult to make an item that stacks to 1000, as most inventories has a stack size limit of 64, and if you try to pick up the stack, you will only pickup 64.
I might consider making it, but I am not sure yet...
Okay, so there have to be 64 or could it like 50 or like 10? but there are more kinds of coins there then as silver and gold, to going on higher prices!
like: bronze, iron, silver, gold so we would have:
50 B = 1 I
50 I = 1 S
50 S = 1 G
1 G = 2.500 B
and one more kind of coin between Bronze and Gold we were by:
1 G = 125.000 B
an other idea would be an extra gui, or an extra inventory for the coins.
It could be anything 1-64. It could be 1000, but then it cannot be in inventory slots. Then it has to be a custom value, like experience points, or like your idea with the extra gui.
i said, i need this for something like Custom NPCs. The problem is, over the econmy plugins (i use SpongeForge to use both, plugins and mods at the same time) is the money "not real" like an Item is and for the Shops, Quests or something like awards u need Items, or it would be better, so i had the idea of Stacks of 1000. As example a Shop has 2 Slots as price and 1 for the item, so it would be like:
Slot-1: 1 G Coin // Slot-2: 499 S Coins
-> As example, this would be the price of an item.
It's an easier way for me to handle the price by NPC Shops, but it don't have to be 1000, this would be the best!
But otherwise, without this idea of 1000 Stack of the Coins, are there any other problems?
I think the timer should not running while the server is down, that the players can bet fair on the items! =)
But i don't think a server is down for 2 weeks, i think servers are down for like 1 hour to 6 hours or something like this, so the most bets are on going, so the "damage" for the fairness is not so big.
You can choose, u will or want make this mod, but the option while the server is down, the timer shouldnt run, is realy better! =D
Next question!
Do you make a limit in the Time to bet, like what i wrote with 1 days, 7 days and max. is 30 days? And this can be configurate in the config to go lower and higher, like 1 year (364 d) or like 4 weeks (28 d).
Yeah, it's always best to make things configurable. Maybe somebody else wants to make it more than me, but I think it would be fun to work on a trading mod with different features like auction house.
But I don't want to stays until I release the mod I am working on now. And it also depends on how busy I'll be

There shouldn't be any problems, but should the auction timer only run when the server is online, or even if it is offline?
Like if the server is offline for 2 weeks, does it mean all auctions expired?
I am currently working on a mod like All-U-Want, so I don't think I have time to make it now. However, I may be able to make it after...

I think 14 days are the best as maximum.

Get the time you need to make mods!
You do it for all of us, to give us more options and to have more fun in the game! =)
So, do you still work on this mod? =)
