BullionEconomy

BullionEconomy

Quick Description

BullionEconomy's goal is to create an economy that is based almost entirely on physical items in Minecraft. Most economies are based upon a bank that holds your money for you at all times and when you make a purchase, it just subtracts that amount from your bank directly. BullionEconomy is different, however. If you want to make a purchase, you will need to go to an ATM an withdraw the money from your account, then go and make the purchase with the money that you withdrew in your inventory. ATM's can be defined by any player with the required permissions and can be accessed by simply right-clicking.

Dependencies

Warning

This plugin is in the early stages of development and can, at any time, experience major code changes. It is not recommended that you use this plugin for large applications and/or rely on it for your server's base economy, yet. Before using this plugin, understand that if there is a major change released in an update that modifies how the database is used, all data could be lost.

Features and Planned Features

Keep in mind that BullionEconomy is still under heavy development and there are many bugs to be expected

• ATM's that can be created with signs
  • Permissions that allow you to create an ATM
• Items that have been withdrawn from the ATM cannot be used for crafting
  • The ability to turn this feature on and off in the config
• MySQL & SQLlite database support
• Bank statements that will list players withdrawal, deposit, and purchase history
• Vault support
• API (separate from vault) for other plugins to add to bank amounts etc.
  • The JavaDocs for the API can be found here
• A sign-shop plugin (created by me most likely) that will allow you to purchase with BullionEconomy
• A command for checking bankstatements
• The ability to configure what items have value
• The ability to make purchases with BullionEconomy's money
• Many more ideas that I have, but can't think of
