FAQ & Troubleshooting

Sales are not being boosted

1. Check the console on startup for Sell hooks active: [...]. If it says No supported shop plugin detected, install one of the supported shops or check your hooks toggles.
2. Make sure the item actually has a ladder: an items entry, a group, or the default ladder enabled. See How It Works.
3. Enable debug: true in config.yml and sell again. Each transaction the hook sees is logged with the computed price.
4. Remember the boost is per unit: early units below the first threshold sell at the base rate. The multiplier only shows once a threshold is crossed.

I updated the plugin but my new groups / menus did not appear

They are merged automatically on startup and on /pm reload. New config keys are added to your existing config.yml, new messages to lang.yml, and new bundled menu files (like groups.yml) are written to menus/ if missing. The console logs Updated config.yml with new default keys when this happens. Your existing values and menu files are never overwritten. See Updating.

A default group I deleted keeps coming back

The auto-merge is additive: a missing default is treated as "needs adding", so a deleted default group is re-added on the next load. To suppress a group you do not want, empty its materials list instead of deleting the block.

I changed a hooks value and nothing happened

Shop hooks are bound once at startup. Restart the server after changing a hooks toggle. /pm reload reloads config, lang, currencies and menus, but not hooks.

GUIShop boosts are inconsistent

GUIShop's pricing API has no player context, so the seller is recovered from the GUIShop shop GUI. Selling through the GUI is reliable. Command-based sells fall back to the un-boosted price on purpose, rather than guessing the wrong player. See the GUIShop note on Shops.

My custom item icon shows a barrier

The icon string did not resolve. Check the form (nexo:id, oraxen:id, itemsadder:ns:id, hdb:1234) and that the matching plugin is installed. Unknown icons fall back to a barrier so the mistake is visible. See Items & Icons.

Hex colours are not working

&#RRGGBB hex requires a modern server (1.16+). On older servers, use the standard & colour codes.

The menu title shows {page} literally

Inventory titles are fixed when the menu opens and cannot update per page. Put the page count on a page-info item instead of the title. See Pagination.

A message is spamming or I want to silence it

Every message in lang.yml has an enabled toggle, and is only sent when enabled and non-empty. Set enabled: false or clear the message value. See Messages.

Does the multiplier work with non-Vault currencies?

Yes. ProfitMultiplier scales the price the shop transaction already uses, so it works with any currency your shop pays in. The currency settings only affect display.

How do I reset progression for a new season?

Use /pm resetall, or enable auto-reset on a schedule.

Where is player data stored?

In plugins/ProfitMultiplier/data.yml. Do not edit it by hand while the server is running.
