[SUGGESTION] trade in items (not $) #1273

    Hello! I have a server with a whitelist on 1.13.2, and I would like to use your plugin, but without the participation of the currency $. I would like the players to exchange items for items using your plugin. I think the underlying problem is that the new 1.13 blocks do not have numeric IDs. But there are many other blocks from older versions that have an id. I tried to show in the screenshots how I see it.

    for example

    First Chest:
    1 line - player's nickname
    2 line - how many items and the name of the item that is sold
    3 line - what item is purchased
    When you click RBM on the plate above the chest - from your inventory to the chest will move the coal and the diamond from the chest into your inventory

    The second chest is all the same, but instead of the names of the items I wrote their numeric ID. And below on the plate an explanation of the exchange for people who do not understand the id blocks.

    That's how I came up with, maybe you will have a different opinion, I just wanted to offer.

    Sorry for bad english i use translator.

    This has been suggested a couple times before but without any suggestions regarding how to format the signs.

     

    I see that you provided an example for how that could look like but it doesn't solve a couple of issues that providing an item exchange function would have which all basically boil down to limited sign space. Important features to support would be: Selling and purchasing (ideally at the same shop the same way as with a normal currency) while keeping the item names unique enough to be identified by the plugin and readable by the user. (Something that gets difficult as you will have a lot less space on the sign and can't use numeric IDs with 1.13 anymore)

    The sign setup should also be the same as normally to not confuse people, yours does not match the formatting that ChestShop signs have. (The sold Item needs to be on the forth line, the amount on the second and the price on the third)

     

    If all you want is to use a specific item (e.g. diamonds) as a currency instead of providing a free-range item exchange then the better approach would probably be to use an economy plugin that is based on items.
