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
/moneyadmin b <account>
Get the balance of a player's account.
/moneyadmin add <amount> <account>
Add an amount of money to a player's account.
/moneyadmin rm <amount>
Remove an amount of money from a player's account.

It is a great idea and a good plugins, perhaps if someone can help you. Happy new year !
@ebenwert
Too bad hearing that :-( I really hope you can fix the latest issues for 1.7.10 posted by mrelfire because it crashes our servers. Gringotts is one of the most important plugins for MMO servers and it would be hard to miss it. Really!
Anyway... thank you for responding. I hope you had a peaceful Christmas and I wish you a Happy New Year.

Hi all. Sorry for being dead. I am currently not able to find the time/energy to keep Gringotts up to date. I might get around to it this month, but it would be super appreciated if someone else would get into the project for maintenance and development, since I currently can't promise timely updates.
FYI: http://www.spigotmc.org/threads/gringotts.42141/
@mrelfire
That's strange. Which version of Vault are you using? Did you tried to create a chest?
Edit: I have to correct me. You're right. I tried it on Cauldron 1.7.10 and it crashes. What a shame. We NEED an update.
@TomXPro
I have used 2.3 against cauldron 1.7.10 and it doesn't work, I have :
@mrelfire
It works with Cauldron 1.7.10
We love you plugin, also.
I really hope this can be updated soon.
Thank you for your great works. :)
We have officially reached a point of not being able to use vault with factions whatsoever. I have turned every setting I can off in factions to disallow a faction economy, yet Gringotts still tries to "cash out" non existent faction vaults when a faction disbands. This causes a sever error and factions cannot be disbanded at all. Then after two weeks we reach the point of the auto disband factions, which try to auto disband repeatedly and spam chat.
This is such an amazing plugin. If factions integration could just be removed, then it would still be great. The extra feature is what is killing it.
I really hope this can be updated soon. We love your plugin.
Are there any plans to update this for Spigot 1.8?
before 1.8 ;) can we have with 1.7.10 (http://cauldron.minecraftforge.net/) please ?
can this plugin be updated to spigot 1.8 because the vaults are not working anymore
@roracle
I think what you want to do is not easily possible, at least if you want to keep third party vault-based plugins compatible. You can disallow access to the Gringotts vaults from certain worlds with permissions, as well as the /money command. But you can't really have two economy plugins running
neither Vault nor Gringotts are designed with that in mind.Is it possible to use this plugin and keep it separated per world? I know it would be a permission thing, but so far I can't seem to _not_ access it in the world it isn't defined in...
My goal is to have ancient_earth use gringotts, while modern_earth uses bank accounts from iConomy. But when I do /money with Gringotts installed, it tells me my total gem value, not my account balance from iConomy. That would be fine for ancient_earth but not for modern_earth.
@grozna_Deva
Towny has a "closed economy" option which currently doesn't work very well with gringotts. disabling it should solve this problem.
@Machinimatt
Sounds like a bug :( Is this with version 2.3 of Gringotts?
Heya,
Im having problems with towny deposit... it seems like im not able to deposit any $ into town bank... when i try deposit it always says you dont have that much
any idea how to fix it ? :/
Thanks
is it possible to have an update for 1.7.10 ?please ?
Could it be possible to store money in a virtual vault, through a command that opens up a chest GUI and stores the vault in a flat file? This could make it possible to have banks in towns and also be a more secure way for players to store their money.
When I make a Vault for another player it also links me to that Vault and overrides any Vaults I created for myself, how do I stop this from happening?
@FabioZumbi12
You can disable permissions for using, withdrawing and depositing to vaults for your creative world for this effecf.
