Here's a video with an overview of some of DE's features, graciously made by WoopaGaming!
Plugin is in BETA - Meaning it is not as perfect as I would like as of yet. I am still constantly adding features. Once I'm happy with the feature list, it'll be released into v 1.0. Expect v1.0 to have Chest Shops.
Support Pages
There's a lot to understand about DynamicEconomy, so visit some of these helpful pages!
-
Features
- Buy and Sell items in a global shop.
- Price automatically adjusts based on supply and demand!
- Customizable price ceiling & floor!
- Prefix the chat output with anything you'd like!
- Choose whether price changes are announced globally, locally, or not at all!
- Includes a custom alias file, so you can customize the aliases you use (Add whatever word in the world to stand in for, say, diamond, so if you call /buy purpleelephant it can buy you diamond!) - Even better, it already includes hundreds of aliases.
- Add items to items.yml at your whim! Just make sure to add aliases for them in alias.yml!
- Sort items into different groups, and then limit users to only being able to purchase or sell items from particular groups!
- You choose the default amount sold/bought if the user leaves out the amount argument.
- Features 340 items: the most commonly traded and used, as well as non-obtainable items and potions!
- Also, you can sell and buy enchantments! Enchant your items with any enchantment at any level, and then sell items from an item instead of selling the entire item itself!
- Custom Items.yml puts you in control of item prices, minimums, maximums, descriptions, and everything else!
- Change the price, price floor, price ceiling, price velocity, and stock, all from in-game without a restart or reload!
- Custom in-game command allows you to reload the DynamicEconomy config.yml
- Features help screen of all commands, usages, and descriptions
- Assess which features of your config are on and off from in-game.
- Simple permissions: permission is the same as the command name.
- DynamicSign - Signs that show the price, stock, velocity, ceiling, or floor of any item in REAL TIME! You can also change the colors the sign displays in!
- Find out the durability of any item in your inventory, or your armor!
- When you sell a tool or armor, the price you receive is proportionate to how much of the durability was used up. If an item is 25% used up, a player will only get 75% of the total price when he sells it! Stops "Infinite tool" abuses.
- Update Checker & Downloader!
- Sell and buy EXP!
- Data values for all woods, wools, saplings, slabs, and inks!
- Option to use either set-amount item velocities, or a percent velocity.
- The option to turn on "Price-Decay-Over-Time", meaning, if items aren't purchased for a long time, their prices will decrease! This is fully customize-able to the last bit; customize percent of price decrease, what's considered a "long time", and how often to check for these items! Or disable it all-together!
- Also, in addition to price decay over time, there's also price inflation over time, so items that aren't sold for a while will have an increase in price! This encourages sale of those items!
- Multi-World support!
- /sell hand and /price hand for selling or checking price of the item you're holding!
- Ban items from in-game instantaneously!
- Customizable random events! Make your own wacky random events that change the prices of items!
- Customize standard DE messages! Up to 32 of them, currently!
- Use your own custom currency.
- Custom log.txt file personalizes logging of all user commands for very intuitive, useful, and helpful logs for Server admins. No need to fuss over confusing server logs and exceptions. (You can disable it, if you want, too!)
- Sales & Purchase Taxes!
- Set taxes from in-game!
- Extensive region control! Select your own 3D regions in which users can buy and sell items!
- Alternative commands for /buy and /sell, so you can use other popular economy plugins in conjunction!
- Basic location control, such as setting a minimum height from bedrock in order to access the economy.
- Loans! With custom payback times, minimum and maximum loans, as many loans as you'd like, and more!
- Dynamic Interest rates for loans!
- Ability to ban the sale OR purchase of certain items!

@angelofdev
Absolutely! Other features include:
@mzx987
I will make a config option to turn auto-updater off.
@PyPKjE
...What?
@anonymous000
Awesome! I'm really glad you're enjoying it. However, your fix: when people sell the item, that would give them no money, but take their item, correct?
Excluding certain items has been a planned future feature since the day I submitted DE to bukkitdev; I've just gotten too over-excited about working on bigger features to do it yet.
I've managed a sort of weird workaround for removing items, basically it only keeps the item in the config with a price. No ID, no ceiling, no velocity, just a price of 0. So players can still "buy" it, although it deducts no money from them, and doesn't give them the item. Aside from this, if data values worked, this plugin would be almost complete to me :3 I'm absolutely LOVING this so far now that it's working, thanks!! :)
There is some kind of bug with it a range and then reload the server stopped working please fix the range
Can you please make it so that the plugin works offline too? When I host my LAN server, it gets an error saying that it had a problem starting up. I think the auto-updater is causing this problem.
How would you go about disabling specific items?
Also, thanks for the PEX update, working smoothly with the dynamiceconomy.buy, dynamiceconomy.sell, etc permission nodes :)
Loans sound awesome. Will there be an option to make it use money from the account sales/purchase tax is put into? Forgive me, I'm just excited.
@angelofdev
Thanks for the video!
I've made some code changes and will see if they fixed the problem when I get the chance.
On another note: Loans coming in v .7!
@ksafin
I've managed to reproduce this even without a crash. The regions are actually saved in the file but do not load. And when adding a new region the entire file is re-written.
I've made a video showing the region not loading after a restart. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxvY5Yy-BHQ I hope you find this useful.
@angelofdev
Well, what do you mean by "crash"? A non-responsive plugin? A random shut-down? A manual restart?
I don't see a reason for them to be lost, they're all saved to a file..
@ksafin
I've noticed the shop regions are lost when the server crashes.
v .6.1 is OUT
Features tools for region selection, including: expanding regions, contracting regions, region wand, and currently selected region info, as well as the ability to delete previously declared regions.
@angelofdev
Haha I was about to post a comment about that, thanks for letting me know.
I'll look into more PEX stuff, and expect v .6.1 within the next hour, it'll include region tools such as expanding regions in any direction, removing regions, and more.
There is no bug with adding more shop regions. That was a mistake by me, sorry.
@ksafin
I decided to experiment with the nodes and the problem is fixed by adding the following nodes.
dynamiceconomy.buy
dynamiceconomy.sell
Edit 2: Shop region bug is actually working, sorry about that.
@angelofdev
Does it do that for all commands?
@ksafin
No, I'm using PEX 1.18
Before the dynamiceconomy.customer node is added.
The player recieves a red coloured I'm sorry, but you do not have permission to perform this command. please contact the server administrators etc...
After the node is added
The player recieves a green coloured You do not have permission to use this command.
The regions are working perfectly though. Thanks :D
Edit: Can only add 1 region. When adding a new region it over-writes the current one.
@angelofdev
Does the fix work for you? :)
@ksafin
Very nice, will begin testing on my server :D
Edit: Delete the old config so new one generates.
@AlecWWeekes
I'm so sorry I wasn't able to do it on time.
I was planning on getting it done and uploaded Sunday Morning but I ended up waking late and had to hurry to robotics..
I'm very sorry for any inconveniences it might have caused but I think the fix I just uploaded works.
In further news,
DynamicEconomy v .6 is OUT! Features include a PEX fix, region selection, and limiting the economy to only those regions! I plan to include more region commands in .6.1, which will allow you to delete, modify, rename regions, etc.
He's busy until he's completed his robotics stuff for tuesday, as i understand it - But if possible, could the PEX fix be first on the list? Pretty please? :)
