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

Special thanks to HostHorde for supporting GoldBank! Make sure to check them out!
@erikcjones
Unfortunately, you'd need to address issues like that on a plugin-by-plugin basis (you may want to speak to the authors about them). Hope you get it resolved soon!
@caseif Thanks for your help, I will look into getting a new economy plugin, I have been having problems with non-item currency plugins. For some reason every eco plugin besides yours has not worked. (my server is hosted by MCprohosting) Do you have any idea why this is? After I would install an economy plugin, none of the commands or signs shops and pretty much every thing wouldn't work. Thanks :D
@erikcjones
Unfortunately, the only way to fix this will be to delete the database file so it will be regenerated (this will unregister all banks and shops) or to edit it manually to remove the problem entry, which is a much more advanced process. However, I highly recommend dropping GoldBank for another economy plugin, as it is abandoned, very old, and potentially riddled with bugs.
I have been using this plugging on my new survival server, I installed this plugging because I needed a way to sell items to my players. Anyway, when I was testing the admin shop signs and I went break the sign cause of a typing error, it refused to break and said "Please left-click the GoldShop on this block to unregister it." I eventually gave up and world-edited it to air so I could try again. When I made a new sign where the previous one was it said that there was a shop already registered in that location. Even though the new sign was selling a different item, it stayed to the previous deal. Can someone tell me how to fix this, I thought about just making every sign perfectly the first time, but I am bound to mess-up again and totally wreak that space for selling.
An item blacklist for the shops will be fine :P
I'm going to use your awesome plugin for my server, I love the wallets and the atm and all his stuff, I'm only deactivate the shops for my users because of that.
I think a wallet limited permission per group will be fin too :P
@caseif
No that's totally understandable. I was just curious if it was an option for you. That way you could reach out to more people. :3
I just prefer the users to work harder is all xD.
and your Plugin was the only one (that I've seen so far) that has all these elements together.
Thank you for responding!
@AmberLue
To put it bluntly, the whole reason I made the plugin was because I didn't like virtual economies, so I'm not so willing to shift towards one with GoldBank. Anyhow, I don't plan to release any further updates for Bukkit, as I plan to rewrite the plugin for Sponge instead. However, I wouldn't discount the possibility of a separate plugin which does something like what you've described. Honestly, I have no idea what the future holds, so we'll just have to wait and see. :)
This is an awesome plugin, is there anyway you could add a feature to use virtual money besides the nuggets? I'm looking for a plugin that has banks, wallets, and ATMS intertwined within one, but I'm not a fan of using in game items as a currency.
I already have my server set up using a virtual economy, but would love to have a bank,atm, wallet feature since player shops are getting ran dry quickly!
Thank you for your time!
@YoJoeLee
Hey, give me a chance to respond! :P I'm not quite sure what the issue would be, but if it's a bug, I'm afraid it'll be there to stay for a bit. I have no intention of releasing a new update until Sponge is good and ready, given the current state of Bukkit.
@caseif
Shady? Have any idea?
@caseif
It still doesn't work
@YoJoeLee
Try holding shift when you left-click the sign.
I keep having trouble trying to delete a shop admin sign, it tells me I need to left click the GoldShop sign to remove it, but can't actually remove it at all unless I uninstall and reinstall the plugin
@TheJAYBDGAH
Everything should be handled in the config file. It's been some time since I did much with this plugin, so I don't exactly remember how it works, but if you need further help, feel free to PM me. :)
Hey, is there a way to make the bank bigger? I tried putting tier 3 on the second line and it reverted to t1. I want to charge high prices for ranks but the highest price I can go to is 1152. Thanks boss.
@BrandonBreh
I recently became aware of this, and will be pushing a patch within the next couple of days. Thanks for the heads-up, though.
So you have to revert to 2.6 for things to work.
You have a major problem. The latest version is not working in spigot 1.7.9. When you go to use something like /echest in essentials the server will crash. It's only when I have the GoldBank plugin installed.
@BrandonBreh
Unfortunately, no. I probably won't implement this unless it garners enough support, as it would require some changes to how wallets are handled.
Is there a way to make it so that the wallet doesn't show the player name? I want to use 1 universal name that just says the server name, not the individual who crafted the wallet's name.
