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).

@incredinex
Yea I tried.. :/ It didnt work
@_Riaz
Did you try it like this?
@incredinex
They better! This plugin is sick!
In the Language.yml Im having a issue with costumising it as I want.
- '%CN&b%A1&d is auctioning &f%A3 %CB%C4&benchanted %C4&a%L1&d%C5 named &f"%L2"&d%C5 for &c%A7&d.\n Starting bid: &6%A4&d.\n Bid increment: &6%A5&d. %CDBuy now: &6%A6&d.\n%CDType &a/auction info&d for full details.'
In this part of the config I want it to skip lines ingame to make the lines go underneath eachother. (Because that looks a lot smoother.. However Ive tried adding \n & and Ive tried just going down to next line. Nothing seems to work. Any idea on how to make them display underneath eachother ingame when someone starts a auction??
@Adzdon
It just changed ownership. Give them a bit. Idk if they're even planning on keeping the plugin public.
No DevBuilds? Also Webpages are down too
@xTrippy
still having this issue, anyone have any ideas?
floAuction no longer belongs to me. Details may or may not follow.
BIG ISSUE HERE
So, I downloaded FLoAuction and WhatIsIt, ive set up the config to make it so renamed items are shown when auctioned, but when I test it in my server, it doesn't show the renamed item, rather just the actual item (e.g: Stone renamed Swag wont come up in the auction as "Stone named Swag" rather just "Stone") PLEASE HELP ME! Heres the config to FloAuction: http://pastebin.com/YRCr3qwY The config to WhatIsIt: http://pastebin.com/f8BGZqXp
ETA for Next Update?
Also I'd suggest adding UUID and MySQL Support!
Are there any options in the config we can take to better the following results? http://i.gyazo.com/140b938bb87078bfd51233fa8021578b.png
@BachGamesSS
It doesn't show the spawner still..
Yep, there's also an issue when auctioning regular fireworkstars, gives the error i stated the below..
Getting this error when auctioning some items with data values. No idea what the error is...

@Dillzzzzz
I believe when the auction starts, it reads as "monster spawner". If you type the following command during the auction, you can view more information including the type of the spawner.
/auc info or /auction info
Is there a way to make this recognise spawner names? It says 'Monster Spawner' and I've seen servers have the name of the spawner when auctioning.
Hi, I have a question involving the langauge.yml configuration.
When an anvil-renamed item is auctioned, the name is not in italics, and the %C5 toggle is not coming up. However, when an item that is enchanted is auctioned (renamed or not), the %C5 toggle comes up.
I've used the 5 most recent updates for floAuction, and they all seem to reproduce the same problem for me. How would one go about fixing this?
Thanks. I've made so people can't cancel within so many seconds of the auction ending, but I was hoping for something more along the lines of not being able to cancel after someone's bid on the item no matter the time.
Is that possible?

No console error? Actually, could you make it a trouble ticket and post the info you just gave, plus any console errors. Thanks for including the version number.
