Shops plugin for Bukkit/Spigot 2022+

Requires economy plugin (compatible with Vault) such as: EssentialsX

What is Shops?

Shops is a vanilla-style, command-driven shopping plugin for Spigot Servers.

As a shopping plugin, you can create location based stores and add/remove/update items in the inventory for your (stores). For customers, when in a store, you can buy items from the store, sell items to the store, and browse the store's catalog.

Why Command Shops?

Really this stemmed from nostalgia when I used to play on my friend's cousin's Minecraft server where it used Towny and some location-based shopping plugin to make for an ultimate survival multiplayer server. Back then, most of your plugins would be controlled through commands instead of UI elements.

With newer features such as tab complete to autofill suggested command arguments such as online players and materials, it really makes these command shops even easier to interact with. Sure, pulling up an inventory UI may be much more simple and intuitive for players, I'm sure there are still server operators that enjoy a more vanilla approach, accomplished by commands.

I intend to use this on my personal server(s) with friends/family as well. So this was really created as a personal project that I could learn from.
