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 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

Posted Jan 5, 2016I stopped using it because there would be a bug, probably player caused, where it would just spam there are no actions going on. it would spam this in all chat every tick, to where it would spam it 20 times a second, forever. When it happened at night and lasted untill morning it would kill the server making everyone quit for the day. What's worse is, it would glitch out and give free money to players. This kept happening on all the servers with this plugin untill i was forced to remove it completely. In a couple of cases it ran so long that it made the 100gb ssd run out of space and cause severe data loss from the disk being full unable to save map data, player data, permissions files. Basically fucked my whole server as bad as someone intentionally grefing it. Corrupt chunks would cause crashes 10 times a month and would need to be removed with mcedit because no tools would detect those corrupt chunks. The point is, someone needs to rewrite this plugin and gut out most of its features. This plugin actually caused me a lot of heartache with it having an exploit in the past giving people infinite money. If you have something this popular, it needs to be air tight and fool proof, and it's still buggy. Rewrite the plugin! gut the useless features. The only thing people need is the simple sell command with bid increment, and price, and a simple bid command to buy the item, that's it. All those bonus features are only going to cause bugs, exploits, and headache.

Posted Oct 14, 2015So I installed most recent floAuction, Vault and WhatIsIt. I have given necessary permissions. Then I started making changes to config.yml, but everytime I make changes to config file and reload it, it reverts to defaul config:
plugin-channel: world_info inform-player: false encoding: UTF-8
So what I'm missing here?

Posted Aug 27, 2015I really feel like a version of this plugin or an option in the config to automatically display the auction info without players having to do "/auc i" would be extremely useful. Please PM me your Skype so we can talk further.

Posted Jun 26, 2015Guys, i have developed an unofficial update to floAuctions,
Features!
Customization of every message that a player can receive.
Options for using localized auctions so auction houses can be created.
When an auction is bid on money is removed from a player's account along with the ability to disable auction of damaged and renamed items if you so choose to.
Auction queue GUI, you are able to see all auctions that are queued in a GUI.
Integration with SilkSpawners to allow spawners to be auctioned.
Commands
/auction - Main auction command do /auction help for more information.
/auc - Short for /auction.
/sealedauction - Creates a sealed auction where bids are not shown to other players.
/sauc - Shortcut for /sealedauction
/bid [bid amount] [max bid] - Bidding, all parameters optional.
Permissions
auction.start - Allows creation of auctions.
auction.bid - Allows bidding on auctions.
auction.admin - Allows admins to cancel auctions along with a variety of other features.
Setup and Configuration
This plugin requires Vault and does not require WhatIsIt unlike the original version of floAuction.
In this update I Fixed :
Sealed auction bug that allowed player's to bid over their max amount of money.
Auction queue gui - Auctioned items show up in a inventory so users can see what is currently queued. To view the auction queue use /auc queue.
All use of guava is removed so it should work if there are any changes to the guava version such as when spigot 1.8 was released.
WhatIsIt is no longer needed, item names are found in the names.yml that is generated.
Integration with SilkSpawners to show a mobspawner's type of animal.
To Download:
Link Removed: http://www.mediafire.com/download/ria143ric0mpcj6/floAuction.jar
Closing
Please note I am not the original developer of floAuction I am just continuing the plugin in good faith since it is licensed under GPLv3. Feel free to make any changes, fork it etc as long as it lands in the confines of the original license. If you want to look at the original fork of floAuctions it can be found here: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/floauction/

Posted Jun 24, 2015Why the fuck would you leave a download open that has a critical infinity money bug in it? My economy is completely ruined because of this bug.
Remove all versions prior to v3.1.0 off the site immediately.

Posted Jun 23, 2015Hello! I want to tell you that I found a BUG,and whoever uses this BUG,he can get infinite amount of money.
When a player types in this command: /sauc start 1 1 100 120, and with another account he bids to that auction. He can bid more ammount of money,than he normally has on his account.
When the auction is over,he gets all of the money,that was bugged. Players can get Millions,or Billions with this BUG.
