Gringotts
Gringotts: Item based currency.
Gringotts is an item-based economy (currency) plugin for the Bukkit Minecraft server platform. Unlike earlier economy plugins, all currency value and money transactions are based on actual items in Minecraft, per default emeralds. The goals are to add a greater level of immersion, a generally more Minecraft-like feeling, and in the case of a PvP environment, making the currency itself vulnerable to raiding.
Gringotts was originally created for the Minecraft Wars PvP/survival server.
Features
- Item-backed economy (configurable, default emeralds)
- multiple denominations with automatic conversion (for example, use emeralds and emerald blocks)
- Storage of currency in chests and other containers, player inventory and ender chests (configurable)
- direct account-to-account transfers commands
- optional transaction taxes
- fractional currency values (fixed decimal digits)
- Account support for Factions, Towny and WorldGuard
- Vault integration
Latest changes
To get notified of new versions, please subscribe to file updates.
v2.9
- DEPENDS ON JAVA 8. If your server is not on Java 8 yet, you should upgrade, or ask your service provider to upgrade. Java 7 isn't supported anymore by Oracle.
- Should now work both in regular as well as async context. This means there should be no more "Asynchronous entity world add" errors anymore, and Gringotts is now compatible with Towny in async mode, as well as other plugins that call economy methods asynchronously.
- The maximum virtual money allowed for an account is now equal to the lowest denomination, instead of the highest. I changed this because that behavior was causing lots of confusion.
- fixed other minor bugs
v2.8
- built for Minecraft 1.9 and Factions 2.8. May not be compatible with older Factions versions!
- unsupported versions of Factions should be handled more gracefully now.
- updated to current version of Metrics-Lite. Fixes annoying error messages.
v2.7
- Named denominations: Each denomination can now have its own name, which will be shown in /balance messages and the like. To activate this feature, use the
named-denominations
config setting. By default this will use the denomination's displayname or regular item name, but you can define a custom name as well. See configuration instructions for details. - Balance messages can now be configured to show only regular balance or also vault/inventory balances.
- Now also supports
&
prefix to color codes in messages and item displayname/lore in addition to the defaultยง
prefix. - can now also used Vault-supported item names in denomination config, not only regular Bukkit names. This can make the config a bit more intuitive. (requires Vault)
- lore config for denomination items now also allows a simple string instead of a string list.
- configuration should now always be loaded as UTF8.
- fixed an issue with
/money
commands failing on some servers.
v2.6
- adds display name and lore support for currency items. See configuration instructions on how to configure this. Note you will need a third-party plugin to rename items not created by Gringotts. Thanks to dj5566 for contributing this feature!

Instructions
Wiki
Check out the Gringotts Wiki for more hints and a troubleshooting guide.
Installation and Configuration
Download Gringotts and place it in your craftbukkit/plugins folder.
Please see the Configuration and Permissions document on how to configure Gringotts.
Usage
For full information on configuration and usage in Gringotts v2.x, please see the configuration page and the usage page respectively.
Storing money in an account requires a Gringotts vault. A vault consists of a container, which can be either chest, dispenser or furnace, and a sign above declaring it as a vault. A player or faction may claim any number of vaults. Vaults are not protected from access through other players. If you would like them to be, you may use additional plugins such as LWC or WorldGuard.
Player vaults
Place a sign above a container block, with [vault]
written on the first line. If it was created correctly, the sign will display your name on the third line and you will receive a message that the vault has been created.
Faction vaults
Place a sign above a container block, with [faction vault]
written on the first line. If it was created correctly, the sign will display your faction's tag on the third line and you will receive a message that the vault has been created.
Towny vaults
- To make a vault for your town: place a sign above a container block, with
[town vault]
written on the first line. - To make a vault for your nation: place a sign above a container block, with
[nation vault]
written on the first line. If it was created correctly, the sign will display your town's or nation's tag on the third line and you will receive a message that the vault has been created.
User commands
/money
Display your account's current balance.
/money pay <amount> <player>
Pay an amount to a player. The transaction will only succeed if your account has at least the given amount plus any taxes that apply, and the receiving account has enough capacity for the amount.
/money withdraw <amount>
/money deposit <amount>
Withdraw an amount from vault storage into inventory, or deposit from inventory to a vault.
Admin commands

Hi
Is it possible to connect gringotts to a MySQL database ?
thanks
Hey, love the plugin!
Is there any way you could look into this issue? I posted it about a week ago.
Thanks
https://github.com/MinecraftWars/Gringotts/issues/122
@ebenwert
ok thanks for looking at it i'll find an other way
@ebenwert
Ah, I figured I could do so I was just hoping it would be something worth adding as a feature :P. Thanks for your response though!
@TitanFoxx
You can define multiple denominations for your currency (see config instructions), with certain items being worth, for example, 1000 emeralds, and have trade stations for them.
I'm afraid I currently can't invest time into new features.
@silentspectr
Unfortunately, no : (
Is there anyway you could add a feature for the ability to put the economy item in containers other than vaults to be able to disable it?
@ebenwert
Hey, not sure if it's possible or something you'd be interested in but could you possibly add a "bank note" feature. So a player can create a vault and if he/she wishes they can convert this somehow into bank notes (max amount could be configurable).
The reason for this is because I don't want players using a virtual payment system at all, no withdraw, deposit, pay etc. So say a player is offering a sword for 1,00,000 Emeralds, it'd be impossible to carry that amount but a bank note could equate to that much.
@ebenwert
Hi so do you have any idea on what's causing the bug with areashop ?
thanks
The idea of this plugin is great!
I'm fairly new to it though, and trying to install it on my CB1.8 server, it doesn't seem to want to load properly:
[Server thread/ERROR] : Could not load 'plugins/Gringotts-2.3.jar' in folder 'plugins'
[Server thread/INFO] : Busy Connections:
[Server thread/INFO] : Reseting DataSourcePool [Gringotts] min:2 max:20 free:0 busy:0 waiting:0 highWaterMark:0 waitCount:0 hitCount:0
[Server thread/ERROR] : FATAL: DataSourcePool [Gringotts] is down!!!
[Server thread/INFO] : DataSourcePool [Gringotts] autoCommit[false] transIsolation[SERIALIZABLE] min[2] max[20]
[Server thread/ERROR] : ebean.properties not found
It just generates an empty "Gringotts" directory in plugin folder.
Any ideas where this could come from?
Thanks for your response!
@ebenwert
Great plugin!
One issue I found though. If a player has a renamed item (i.e: Emerald renamed as "&a1 dollar"), the item is still counted as a currency item and added while using /money, but won't be deducted from using money.
Please consider fix this, or add custom display support.
Hi
i just noticed that every time i start my server, i got this warning in my logs
"[Server thread/ERROR]: Error registering MBean[Ebean:server=Gringotts2]"
it doesn't affect any in game experience but what does this warning means ?
thanks
Im receiving the following error:
org.bukkit.plugin.InvalidPluginException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Plugin already initialized!
I already checked and I have not duplicates and I have the latest vault/worldguard versions. Spigot 1.8.3, latest build
Any help will be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
@ebenwert
Hi so i just tried with craftbukkit 1.7.9 R0.2 and spigot 1.7.10 R0.1 and also with cauldron 1.7.10 because i had only tried with 1.7.2
but the results are all the same:
do you need me to do more tests ?
@ebenwert
ok i'll let you know of the results =)
This isnt working with factions... my players cant deposit money into their faction or claim land
@silentspectr
Please do, as I can't support all the custom modifications, especially when they are client-side : )
@ebenwert
the server requires a launcher because it is modded you can find it here just tell me and i'll add you to the whitelist
i could try under craftbukkit and spigot but i'd need to install a new server on my PC
@silentspectr
Sorry, haven't gotten around to it. I could come by your server to try it out if you message me the address etc. Also, can you reproduce this problem under craftbukkit/spigot?
@ebenwert
Hi
did you check my error ?
