GoldBank
GoldBank – Banks, ATMs, wallets, and more!
Development Status
I will no longer be releasing updates for this plugin. While GoldBank, being the second plugin I've ever made, holds a special place in my heart, it's time to move on. Because the truth is, it's a huge pile of messy, tangled code written by a developer just beginning to learn the ropes of Java and OO programming. I don't even remember writing a lot of the code still in the latest version, and it may hold nasty bugs that I'm not even aware of. Since I don't plan to release any further updates (well... I might release a 3.0.2 that's been sitting on Github for a while, but then that's it for real), I strongly advise against using it and instead opting for a cleaner and better-maintained economy plugin. With that being said, so long and thanks for all the fish!
Overview
I've never really seen the point of virtual economies. I prefer an economy with tangible items. So, I created this plugin. It's essentially the basis for a gold-based economy system. The basic function is the ability to create GoldBank signs, which players can then buy/claim to put their gold in. Once a week, they will receive interest. Additionally, admins can create ATM signs, which allow players to access their bank signs remotely. And furthermore, players and admins may create personalized shops which other players may use to buy and sell items. If you need to expand your inventory, this plugin can do that for you. Just craft a wallet (made with leather in a boat shape), and instantly you'll have a mini-inventory within your regular one (inventory-ception?). But be careful, because if you drop it, another player can steal it from you! Mobs have a nasty habit of losing their wallets, and will often drop gold nuggets when killed. If a player is lucky, they might receive something with a bit more value than mere nuggets.
Features
- Creates and registers a virtual inventory to a [GoldBank] sign when a player right clicks it.
- Automatically distributes interest between inventories weekly
- Signs are automatically protected from access and destruction by other players, pistons, creepers, and TNT
- Specify tiers of signs with different fees and sizes (Define fees and sizes in the config, and define tiers on the second line of each [GoldBank] sign
- Create a master sign, which everyone may claim, by setting the last line as "Master"
- Admins can create [GoldATM] signs, which allow players to access their gold inventory remotely, for a configurable fee
- Mobs drop a random number of gold nuggets, the maximum being a number defined in the config
- Mobs may drop rare golden items at a configurable rate
- Players and admins can create shop signs, which other players may buy from and sell to (see below for sign syntax)
- Players can craft wallets (crafted with leather in a boat or minecart shape), which act as portable virtual inventories
- Type "/gb reload" to reload the plugin
- Full UUID support. Note: this means that the plugin connects to Mojang's UUID API.
Bank Signs
Creation
To create a GoldBank as an admin, simply create a sign resembling this:
———————
[GoldBank]
Tier 1
(blank)
(Master)
———————
The first line is static, the second controls the tier (defined in the config), the third is blank, and the fourth, if set to "Master", will allow everyone to register and access their bank account through it, but will not change its text. A regular sign will only allow one player to register through it.
Registration
To register a bank with a GoldBank sign, a player need only right-click it. If a fee is set for the given bank tier, the player will be required to pay that fee in golden ingots in order to register.
Access
To access a GoldBank, right-click the sign to open its virtual inventory. Once the player is finished editing, the inventory will be automagically saved to disk.
Destruction
To unregister a GoldBank, a player must left-click it. This will cause the sign to revert back to an unregistered state (assuming if it is not a Master sign), and its inventory to spill onto the floor in front of the player.
ATM Signs
Usage
ATM signs are a powerful tool which allow players to access their GoldBank account from anywhere on the map. When a player right-clicks one, their bank account will open, and they are free to edit it as long as they'd like. If a fee is defined in the config for ATM signs, the player will be required to hold a sufficient amount of gold in their inventory for the sign to charge in order to use it.
Creation
Creation of ATM signs couldn't be simpler! Just create a sign and type "[GoldATM]" as the top line (case-insensitive).
Shop Signs
If AngryNerd1 creates this sign:
———————
[Diamond]
1;4
1;2
(blank)
———————
the plugin will replace it with this sign:
———————
[Diamond]
Buy 1 for 4g
Sell 1 for 2g
AngryNerd1
———————
To create an admin (infinite) sign, simply replace the last line with "Admin", and it will convert to "Admin"
Note: All lines are case-insensitive, spaces may be used in place of underscores, and the item ID may be used in placed of the item name. Additionally, shops which sell the buyer's head can be created, using PlayerHead as the item name.
Wallets
GoldBank has a wallet feature, where players may craft wallets to carry with them. They allow players to store anything, or just gold, if the server owner desires.
Creation
To create a wallet, place 5 leather in the shape of a boat in a crafting table. A wallet will appear in the result slot with the player's name branded on it.
Usage
To use a wallet, a player must place it in their hand and right-click. A virtual inventory with a config-defined number of slots will be opened, and they are free to edit it. If the config allows for it, they may add any item they wish. If not, they will be limited to forms of gold (gold tools excluded). When they are done editing, they may hit the escape key to resume gameplay.
Commands
- /gb reload - Reloads the plugin
- /gb view {player} - Opens a specified player's GoldBank inventory. Note that, if the player argument is missing, it will open the player's own GoldBank inventory.
- /wire [player] [amount] - Transfers a specified amount of gold in nuggets from your GoldBank to a specified player's. A fee may apply, which is set in the config.

Known Bugs
- Players in very rare cases receive change in the form of an ItemStack with strange properties when using blocks to buy from a sign with a different gold type defined. This ItemStack behaves very oddly, but is effectively the same as the ItemStack that should have been received, and can be manipulated into such
- Players in creative mode may put their wallet inside their wallet, effectively destroying it (though it may be spawned back in via command)
- The /gb wallet spawn command has no default group set, so it must be manually specified even for operators

Permissions
Note: Permissions will only work if you have version 1.4 or later of the plugin

@BrandonBreh
There's an auto-update key in the config.yml file. Set it to false.
How can i turn off auto updating? If u update to the latest version then the server will crash due to the uuid system not being in place yet. When i get another version it will auto update to the latest which i don't want. Any way to turn auto updating off?
@piehawker
Please create a ticket for any bugs you find in the plugin. Additionally, please include information such as the version of GoldBank and Bukkit/Spigot you're using (a build number would be helpful if it's a dev build, otherwise include whether it's a recommended/beta build and which one), as well as a list of plugins on your server. A stack trace (error log) would also be helpful, if one can be provided.
I have a server and whenever I try to download the plugin it crashes my server. I don't think its the amount of plugins I have because I had the plugin originally WITH worldedit and deatheads and it worked before but when i restarted the world i deleted all plugins and the world and added factions and essentials but when i added goldbank it started crashing my server. What do I do?
@MadHeretic
It should work with most recent versions of Bukkit. At least, I don't remember using any methods introduced in 1.7. Does it throw exceptions if you load it with a 1.6.4 build?
Please can you make a version of the plugin for 1.6.4 servers?
you should add permissions for the different tiers. also only use gold in wallets does not work. and some of the perms don't work lie for looking in wallets
@caseif
When the plugin is enabled you have the name show in green, then you change it back to what you saw as windows default text color, Instead of actually reseting. Its no big deal just thought id let you know
@SrPatchez
That's odd, I haven't changed anything. Idk why it would suddenly be grey. I'll fix it in the next update. :)
@caseif
Also I noticed that in the Console you set the text color back to grey instead of actually reseting the default. You can do that with this color code if you use ansi. "\u001B[0m"
@SrPatchez
I may add those features at some point. I'll probably push 2.6 later this week, which fixes some bugs and adds a /wire command. If I do add the features you've suggested, they would be included in 2.7.
Made any progress on your latest build?
Also do you think you could make it so that we can choose to use gold nuggets instead of ingots, along with making what the top of the sign says after creation configurable? ex. [GoldATM] to [ATM] and [GoldBank] to [Bank Of Midas]
This plugin looks amazing I would love to be able to use it on my server that I plan to release very soon. I wish I found it earlier.
@Tobias2289
I remember making a commit with the message "Fixed incredibly broken API." Seeing as the Vault connector is dependent on the API, it was probably broken too. There'll be a fix in 1.5.2/1.6, but for now, you can grab a dev build at the CI server (at your own risk :3).
@caseif
Also gold/money is not being deducted when using commands that take money.
Found this when running a citizens 2 command that was meant to take 1500, it says deducted but does not actually remove any money or gold.
@Tobias2289
I appear to have let some noobish problem code make its way into the final build. I'll push a fix to the CI server tomorrow (I'd do it tonight, but I'm preoccupied at the moment, as I screwed something up big time and am trying to fix it), and probably a minor release which also includes a couple of other goodies within a couple of weeks.
EDIT: There's already a ticket regarding bank unregistration. That will probably show up in the next DBO build as well. :D
I can't set any master sign to any tier but 1. I thought maybe I needed to have all three tiers set in-game so I tried that but the second sign just changes to Tier 1. So what do I do? http://pastebin.com/y3SxRnBB
Also having the signs unregistered with a left click is really bad, either it should be shift + click or a command then click avoiding any mistakes.
why it doesnt work when "online-mode'' is "false" ?
@KennedyShu
Unfortunately, not at the moment. This may be added as a functionality later on down the road, but development with this plugin has been a bit slow lately, as I've been focusing my time towards other projects. The plugin isn't quite inactive, but I don't plan to release a new build for a good while, or at least until I can dedicate more time to it.
This is awesome! another thing though, is it possible to change the gold nuggets into something else?
oh ok i saw what i did wrong...thank you very much!!
