Notable Features!
floAuction has too many customizable features to reasonably put on the main page here, but here's a list of notable ones.
- Full language customization, even (with the use of WhatIsIt) item names themselves.
- Auction house, silent auctions, sealed auctions, countdown suppression, individual opting-out of all auctioning, and many other "spam" limiting features!
- Reserves funds (i.e. removes them from the player account), ability to disable auctioning damaged and renamed items, full item details displayed, and other abuse and scam prevention features!
- Percent of winnings or price per auction taxes, limits on max's and min's of different auction aspects, banned items list and other economy protection features!
- And, finally ss of the release of floAuction version 3: Auction scopes. The ability to designate world grouping and create multiple auction houses, each with distinct language and config settings.
A list of main features, complete, in progress, planned and under consideration can be found here. Specific per-version history can be found here. And GitHub here.
Important Notes and Disclaimers
- Before commenting, read the FAQ!
- This plugin requires Vault and WhatIsIt, make sure they're installed if you want floAuction to work.
- floAuction uses PluginMetrics to create pretty graphs and charts on mcstats.org. All the data uploaded to their site is impersonal data, including version numbers of your server and floAuction, hardware capabilities, and ip info. If you are uncomfortable with this, go into your /plugins/PluginMetrics folder, change the "opt-out" value to "true" and restart your server.
- floAuction version 3 uses gravitylow's Updater functionality. You can disable it in floAuction's config.yml by setting "auto-update" to "false" or disable it for all plugins using that code in the /plugins/Updater/config.yml by setting "disabled" to "true". This Updater functionality contacts Bukkit's servers to determine if an update is available and installs it so.
- The GitHub for version 2 has moved to 2.x.x-archive as it is no longer under active development. The 2.x.x branch on GitHub is temporarily being used to develop version 3.
- A number of technical difficulties have corrupted floAuction versions 2.10.0 through 2.10.2, do not use these versions!

Commands
- /auction - Main auction interface, use "/auction ?" in-game for more information, permissions vary per functionality. Requires permission "auction.bid":
- /auc - Shortcut for "/auction" (v2.6.0+)
- /sealedauction same syntax as "/auction" but forces sealed auction. (v2.6.0+)
- /sauc - Shortcut for "/sealedauction" (v2.6.0+)
- /bid [bid amount] [max bid] - Bidding, all parameters optional. If [bid amount] is omitted, bid automatically becomes the current bid + minimum bid increment. In sealed auctions, [bid amount] is required and [max bid] is ignored.
Permissions
- auction.start - Allows creation of auctions.
- auction.bid - Allows bidding on auctions.
- auction.admin - Allows administrative functions including cancelling current auctions, suspending player's auction capability, pausing and restarting auctions. (default: op)
Setup and Configuration
This plugin requires Vault and WhatIsIt.
Click here to view a detailed list of all config options for floAuction version 2 and how to use them. As of the release of floAuction 3, floAuction 2 will no longer be supported. floAuction 3 has all the features that version 2 has, plus more!
Click here to see detailed configuration and setup details for floAuction 3. It is multiple pages, but if you take the time to go through it, you will discover that floAuction is by far the most powerful auction plugin available for Minecraft.
Development Participation
I sometimes upload development or "alpha" versions of my plugin to a folder on my own website. If you would like to participate in helping me make sure these major changes have been well tested before I make an official release here on Bukkit, feel free to visit http://www.flobi.com/projects/floAuction/files/ and download the most recent version available on that site. Read the readme file there before participating. I recommend against using any of these files for any server where you need to guarantee up-time or functionality, but only on development or test servers. If you choose to use these against this recommendation, do so at your own risk (though technically it's your own risk in any case, lol, I'm not guaranteeing anything).
Misc
Sometimes I post development stuff here: https://twitter.com/flobiKenobi
I don't always play Minecraft, but when I do, I play on:
Drop by and pay us a visit!
first of all add support for silkspawners, also make it so it shows all named items, not just ones that are enchanted.
Also, I asked the developer of Silkspawners, and he gave some info on how to deal with NBT tags if you don't know already. Just check the comments on the Silkspawners bukkit page.
Just to let you know what someone meant from a previous comment, silkspawners doesn't fully work with this. I believe using legacy name fixes the issue, but I also don't know if that's bad to use. What happens is when you auction it, everything works. But whoever gets the item back, the spawner turns into a pig spawner when placed. ik you may say this is Silkspawners fault, but it isn't. They store the spawner in what I think is like NBT tags or something, since all spawners use the id 52 now. When you give the spawner back, it has the same name, but it loses the previous data. Instead of us using LegacyName (which isn't intended as a perm fix), it would be nice to add support for NBT data or whatever it's called. Try looking at silkspawners a little, I really would love to see you get this working without LegacyNames.
Sorry if this came across mean or something, just was trying to let you know xD
@rplegend
I believe the command to buy is "/bid buy" let me know if that doesn't work.
Okay, I just uploaded a file with some fixes and a new WhatIsIt with 1.8 filenames.
@KevinEssence
I thought Silk Spawners renamed the item.
Can you incorporate silk spawners into this, so players can see what mobs they are auctioning?
hi there i know this seems like a bit of a waste of time but i can not seem to get the buynow option to work .. or as i see it i don't know how to use it when bidding ?
What am i doing wrong ? ?
@jaciloy
I looked a lot at his code changes and I'm not sure there's a benefit actually.
I have a fix in progress but it's spawned a new issue I'm trying to work out.
Hey what game version is this for??
@incredinex
Is this version fix ticket 80,
Your auction plugin is the best auction plugin!
Here's some information. VirusTotal over on Spigot's website has released an unofficial copy of floAuction he's versioned at 3.0.5 which he says works with MC1.8. Sadly, this means I cannot release my 3.0.5 because that would cause too much confusion. I have not tested his version and due to the way he committed the changes to GitHub, I can't tell what changes he made easily and don't have time to dig through at the moment. Anyhew, feel free to try it while you wait for me...I do finally have a functional dev environment and am developing again, but since his is there, I'm gonna take a tad extra and take out a few more bugs and go straight to 3.1.0.
Here's the link, http://www.spigotmc.org/resources/floauction.5595/ , but remember, I'm not supporting that version because I don't know what's in it.
Shit. I've been editing floAuction 2.5.0...fixing crap I fixed years ago. Yeah, I figured it out after hours of programming and then I go to update the version number.
@TiTech1
RTFM: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/floauction/pages/configuring-flo-auction-version-3/config-yml-options/
/auc cancel dosn't work and it says the auction is to close to being finished or something
@incredinex
Thanks so much!
So...good news everyone! I was finally able to afford a laptop that's powerful enough to actually run a development environment for these plugins. Unfortunately, it's also powerful enough to run Netflix, StarCraft II, The Sims 3 (with expansion packs) and/or Barbie Dreamhouse Party (not sure how it would work running more than one at a time, but really, why would I do that?). So, even despite setbacks, I have Eclipse up and running, and syncing with GitHub. I'm about to either test running a Minecraft server or install The Sims 4...never know what the future holds, only can report on the past.
Also, it seems that I've accidentally downloaded a GitHub push for this plugin and I don't really know what's in it. Hey, adventures, right? IOLO and so do you.
EDIT: You can correctly read into this that I do not have a functioning dev environment yet.
EDIT: Seems I have a dev environment set up now :).
Hello,
I need help for sell spawners because all time detect 52;0 it's posible use nbtags?
Suggestion: Add an option to disable teleporting between worlds while participating or running an auction. My players are able to bring things from one world to another world where those things aren't allowed. Hope this makes sense XD

This is supposed to be a temp fix for the duping. http://www.spigotmc.org/threads/auctions-dupe-fix.58641/
Good luck and Have Fun!
Yeah so, there's a severe money dupe glitch with the sealed auctions on this, causing me to disable them completely with my own code. If someone starts a sealed auction, bid some of their own money, they can then bid all the money they want and not go negative on their balance. This causes the auctioneer to get as much money as the bidder puts in, at no cost to them, technically. Fix this bug, or servers everywhere will probably stop using the plugin all together. (I might not have the exact story right with how to replicate it, but it's something like that.)
