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).

FAQ helped. Thanks bae
@incredinex
I am and was using 3.0.3. I tried using 3.0.4 just to check, and that doesn't work either.
I am 100% positive all players have the auction.bid permission.
Does it normally have issues with GroupManager?
EDIT: Players CAN auction, but just not bid.
@Eria8
Here, I made a little tutorial on how to read that information.
If I had to wager a guess at the version of floAuction installed, I'd bet on version 3.0.3 since that's the purple one. Download 3.0.4 if you don't already have it and see if the bug is still there. If you had clicked on the top one instead of the second one, that would have been a beautiful rainbow, but you didn't and now some faeries aren't getting their wings.
EDIT: And floAuction 3.0.4 should work fine for CraftBukkit 1.7.2.
@incredinex
Then plelase, tell me what these links are. http://prntscr.com/3yvaw0
Pretty sure that says "1.7.2" in several.
@Eria8
If you have version 1.7.2 of an auction plugin, it's not floAuction. There has never been a 1.7.2 version of floAuction and never a 1.x version that was publicly available.
@KevinEssence
NP
@incredinex
There we go, thank you ;)
None of my players can use the /bid command even though the do have the permission. It's just auction.bid, right? Any idea what the problem is? Pretty sure I've got the latest 1.7.2 version. No other plugins I used should conflict...
@ergenta
Clearly you don't understand my sarcastic sense of humor and maybe you missed the "(^ hint, hint)" at the end. But...I think I'll add this to my FAQ. Thanks for rereplying. I love you...unless that doesn't get me some of your Bud Lite or you're too young to understand that reference.
omg! Thank you. If you read my previous question it actually asks you exactly what you posted, but after you posted it.
Thank you again!
Asking how to do this will probably come up a lot.
@KevinEssence
Oh, you want to make it show all the info right from the auction beginning? I think that's what you're asking. The specific part of the config doc you're looking for is, "%C8/%N8 - If the message is being broadcast to the server or auction scope. False if the message is being sent to a specific player." What you want to do is remove everything between consecutive %C8's (or between the last one end of the line if there's an odd number) and remove all the %N8's, on and remove all the %C8's. You know what, it'll just be easier if I do it.
@ergenta
I'm afraid I don't have time to reply to this question again, but with a little research, I'm sure you'll find a satisfying answer (^ hint, hint).
I actually came here to ask the exact same question as KevinEssence.
I looked into the link that you provided and tried a few of the ones I thought would work, but can't manage to get the enchants to show by default with out using the /auction info command. Is it possible to tell me what I need to replace in the language.yml, and replace it with which %?
Thanks
@incredinex
Thanks ;) I'm a tad confused but I'm sure we'll figure it out..I'm confused on what I need to paste in the language file for it to automatically display /auction info on its own compared to before with just toggling it on and off.
@KevinEssence
There are actually a few ways to do it. Check the http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/floauction/pages/configuring-flo-auction-version-3/language-yml-configuration/ because it is there now.
@incredinex
I know what you are saying, but before it didn't require a player to type /auction info There was an option to turn it on and off "suppress-auction-start-info: false" but for some reason is no longer there in the newer versions.
@blazzzer213
Yes, in the language.yml file set them to ''. (two ', i.e. an empty string).
@N00bJava
Yes. You should have. In fact, you should read all the pages. They're very insightful. They won't save your immortal soul (if you think you have one), but they may make your gaming experience better.
@KevinEssence
There is no way to do that except by disabling a players ability to auction and bid. I'm also not going to make that since if they *can* auction and bid, they need to know what they're auctioning or bidding on.
I can't locate how to disable the /auction info. Mind redirecting me the correct way, players and I just don't like having that.
@incredinex
thank you! I should've read it :/ ty!
Is it possible to remove the message:
"[floAuction] Leaving auction area: Main Worlds."
"[floAuction] Entering auction area: Main Worlds."

Hello, I'm using Multiverse and i was wondering if i could "separate" auctions. As i have a sky-block world and a factions world, if some one in factions were to sell dirt which i HIGHLY valuable in skyblock, I dont want the players in skyblock to see or even bid on it. But i don't want to disable it as i wish the players in sky block to auction their items as well. and ideas?
