SingleOfferShop Examples and Common Setups

SingleOfferShop: Examples & Common Setups

Here are practical, step-by-step setup guides for the most common trading configurations in MarketBlocks.

A player-run trading stall selling farmed or mined goods for currency.

Shop Type: Trade Stand or Market Crate
Access Mode: Everyone
Visual Clerk: Villager with Farmer profession
Showcase: Floating wheat/bread, slow rotation, bobbing enabled
Notifications: "Out of Stock" enabled so the owner gets alerted when supplies run low.
I/O: Manual restocking by the owner.

Place down a Trade Stand or Market Crate.
Right-click to open. Set the desired offer (e.g., 1 Emerald ➔ 16 Bread).
Place stacks of bread into the shop's Input Inventory.
Open the Settings tab:
- In General: Name the shop (e.g., "Sunrise Bakery").
- In Villager: Enable the visual NPC and select Farmer.
- In Notifications: Enable Notify on Out of Stock.
Your shop is immediately open for customers!

A server-controlled admin shop offering unlimited tools or starter gear for newly joined players.

Enable global edit mode via chat: /mb admin editmode true.
Place down a Trade Stand.
Set the trade recipe (e.g., 3 Iron Ingots ➔ 1 Iron Pickaxe).
Go to Settings -> Access:
- Toggle Admin Shop Mode to ON.
- (Notice that the Inventory tab disappears since stock is infinite!)
Go to Settings -> General: Set the shop name to "Starter Tools".
Go to Settings -> Visuals: Enable Fullbright to make the pickaxe shine in spawn lighting.

An automated shop connected directly to an automatic mob or crop farm via hoppers and chests.

Automation: Back face inputs crop items; bottom face extracts emerald profits.
Redstone Pulse: Emits a signal on every completed sale to drive a counter lamp.

Connect a hopper pointing into the Back of the shop block (from your farm).
Place a hopper or chest below the Bottom of the shop to collect incoming payments.
Go to Settings -> I/O:
- Configure Back as INPUT and Bottom as OUTPUT.
Go to Settings -> General:
- Toggle Emit Redstone to ON. Connect redstone dust behind the block to power note blocks, lamps, or transaction counters!
(Optional) If enableChestExtension = true is set in config/marketblocks/singleoffer/general.toml, you can also place chests directly adjacent to the shop for automatic item pulling and profit pushing without hoppers!

🤝 Shared Guild Store (Co-Owners): Want teammates to help manage your shop? Go to Settings -> Access, type in usernames in the Co-Owners list, and enable Notify Co-Owners under Settings -> Notifications so all partners receive stock and sale alerts.
🔒 VIP / Faction Outlet (Whitelist): To restrict sales exclusively to trusted clan members, switch the Access Mode dropdown in Settings -> Access to Whitelist and register permitted usernames. Non-whitelisted players will be unable to purchase.

Check Shop Leaderboards: Run /marketblocks stats shops (or /mb stats shops) to see which shops across the server have the highest sales volume.
Find Specific Items: Need to see where an item is being sold? Run /marketblocks search <item_id> to find all matching player shops and marketplace hubs with instant waypoint coordinates!
Launch Sales on Admin Shops: Run /mb admin sale shop set <shop> <percent> <minutes> to give your spawn shops weekend promotional discounts!
