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

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).

@ergenta
I sent a fix in to the dev's github. I had the same issue and noticed the display name variable was using the same checks as the enchantments.
Hello, I'm using essentialsX and bukkit 1.8.7. How do I make it so when i auction off a spawner, say a skeleton one, for it to stay 'skeleton spawner' instead of 'monster spawner?'
I was able to get it to work on 1.7.9, but once i updated, it stop working.
Thanks
@UltimateGio
SAME PROBLEM HERE. NEED FIX ASAP.
Found a pretty big bug on the my server using this plugin. Using the latest version 3.1.0
Basically you can unlimited amount of money.
Here is a video I found, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziN8TwNW3_g
What I did to fix the bug is to disable sealed auction.
Hello, I was wondering if there was some way to set the /bid command so that people can't set a custom amount and can only bid upwards by the amount specified by the auction hoster. For example, they can't do /bid 10000 to set the bid to $10k, they can only do /bid to raise their bid.

@VizionMc
look up floauction lang tutorial or something, floauction has a page that explains everything. Honestly, it's actually pretty simple once you understand a few things. If this doesn't help, maybe in a lil I'll try helping you put that together.
@pielord17
No like I'm talking about the way it looks in chat not the color like how you can see the lore thing etc could you tell me what to paste in the config config for it to look like this.
@tar2001
This plugin requires Vault and WhatIsIt, make sure they're installed if you want floAuction to work.
when i try to auc something i use the right command /auc 1 1 1 and it says a internal error has occurred while attempting to preform this command and it takes my item away Please help me!!!! :( this is for my upcoming server and i really need help!
@VizionMc
Edit the language.yml file. Color codes: http://ess.khhq.net/mc/ For the enchantment you would have to add it in WhatIsIt's names.yml enchantment section. Edit: Whoops I thought Marshmallow was an enchantment, not lore. Just edit the language file then.
How could I make my Auction look like this.
@incredinex
No... I'm pretty sure there was only one version lol. It's 3.1.0... just look at the recent files lol.
@Therobodavo
Please, do not lol my version number request. There may have been more than one version released on the 19th. I require the actual number.
@incredinex
The newest version, lol. The one you released the 19th.
@Therobodavo
I'm using the built in item serialization to store the item. It should keep all the nbt info, but if you tell me the floAuction version number of the copy you experienced this in, next time I get a chance, I'll take a look.
