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 view a detailed list of all config options for floAuction version 2 and how to use them. As of the release of floAuction 3, floAuction 2 will no longer be supported. floAuction 3 has all the features that version 2 has, plus more!
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
Sometimes I post development stuff here: https://twitter.com/flobiKenobi
I don't always play Minecraft, but when I do, I play on:
Drop by and pay us a visit!
when i do /auc or /auction nothing happens not even "unknown command . type help for help"
Every time a new player joins my server, it tells them: [floAuction] Entering auction area: Default Auction Scope.
Is there any way to turn off that message?
@KillzyazMadness
You'll have to update your MCPC. That version does not have the setDirection function in the Location class. I don't know what version they added it in the builds, but their github pages says December 11th. I would note that I don't officially support MCPC (didn't even know it existed till now) and can't guarantee floAuction will work in it (not that I actually "guarantee" anything, lol).
@incredinex
Currently using MCPC 187.

@afg093
I hadn't thought about how to do that. It ignores fully empty lines so that people can use the language file to hide certain messages altogether. I suppose if you were to put just a color code in, that would cause the line to show up, or possibly just a space. You'll obviously have to enclose the space in apostrophes.
auction-info-suppressed-alt: '&a%O&a is auctioning &f%q&a %i&a for &c%t&a.
Starting bid: &7%s&a.
Bid increment: &7%n&a.
Type &a/auction info&a for full details.'
How do I do this?
Regards, afg.
@KillzyazMadness What version of Bukkit are you using? It's saying the setDirection function doesn't exist, and that's not a new function.
I'm getting the following error:

Any idea what could be causing this?
@incredinex
All good busy busy. Yeah it was the starting bid. so basically instead of taking a set amount which could drain all profit from a cheaper items. you set a percent. So say 10%. So person starts a $100 auction and costs $10. This way people get charged for creating useless auctions. Rather than blocking them from the plugin or banning them. Let them drain their funds. Anyways thanks for still taking it into consideration!! Cant wait to implement it.
@mikelefebvre
I remember you making the suggestion, but don't remember the details. Is that percent of the starting bid? Also, no. The answer is no. Sorry.
Any chance you added my suggestion about the starting tax by percent into version 3.0.0?
@soulscapex
I don't think you understand. The phrase "newest version" does not have a definite meaning in the context you've used it. I need the actual number. I'd assume you are either referring to 2.10.3, 3.alpha.1.1 or 3.0.0 but there is a HUGE difference. And even with the version number, there's not much I can do without the log files.
@incredinex
Sorry , i can dig up the logs, it was the newest version. it would cause the countdown at the end to say -7 , also flooded the console with a msg error.
i rolled back to previous version ,, and still did it, i had to then , delete the configs for it to stop on the old version.
@soulscapex
Dangit man, VERSION NUMBER and ERRORS. How am I supposed to know if you posted that before or after 3.0.0 was approved by Bukkit? And how am I supposed to know what's wrong if there's no long? At the minimum, you could say how to replicate it. Why do I even have a FAQ?
The newest version is causing a spamming on my console and negative numbers in auctions
@jingomcs
Those slackers. No, floAuction is not at fault. From reading that, I'd say you likely have an invalid item somewhere on your server. The fact that "/auc info" was commanded right before the error is a complete coincidence. Or, perhaps it was set in motion by the Flying Spegetti Monster trying to send you here to get some of my dry, snarky humor. :)
@leo1232
Yes.
I was told by people from spigot that this plugin could be the cause. Please help verify. Thanks http://pastebin.com/WyBGyNzk
@incredinex
Oh, I'm sorry to make an off-topic, but do you expect this plugin shop where players can sell to NPC's their item then when a player buys key money? This could revolutionize the economy a lot of server I think some sort of supply and demand more realistic!
@leo1232
I might use something like that if I make a shop plugin, but the serial auction as it is doesn't really have any need for that.
Thank you for answering! Might I suggest an interface type, where all the items available for sale are present, then when you click on one, seen in the interface all types of awards available for selected items with possibly no of player who sells? Same as here : (http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/broker/images/1-broker-buying-interface/) http://dev.bukkit.org/media/images/40/51/2012-04-07_11.25.48.png (broker plugin image) http://dev.bukkit.org/media/images/56/172/a.png (Ashops plugin image)
