How To Build

Build > Construction > Barter Stand

Ownership

Stands follow a special rule for ownership:

The player who first puts an item into the stand is the owner of the stand, and is the one who sets prices and loads items for sale. Other players may interact with the stand to buy items even if they would normally lack privileges to interact with items on the claim.

How to Use

How to Add Items for Sale

1. Once the Barter Stand is built, open up its UI (User Interface) with an interaction click.
2. Next, pick up an item from your inventory you want to sell. Left click it onto an empty barter slot.
   • Barter stands always have five barter slots.
   • You can add additional items of the same type (but not necessarily the same quality) to the same barter slot.

How to Set a Price

1. Once the Barter Stand is built, open up its UI (User Interface) with an interaction click.
2. Next, click the "Change" button in the barter slot. You can now set what you are requesting for by clicking on an item in the inventory.
3. A small "Item Type" window will appear. You can use this to switch from a specific item to a type (e.g. "Stinging Nettle" versus "Any String"), to adjust the minimum requested quality, or to request more than one item as payment.

To change ownership

1. First all items must be removed from the barter stand.
2. Then place any item in any barter slot and remove it. This will free the barter stand to other users.

Notes

• The quality of the items used affects how many items can be stocked in the Barter Stand, shown by the "slots" entry at the bottom.
• Sales are always of individual items; adding additional items to a specific barter slot lets the barter stand make more sales before needing to restock.
• Only items already in your inventory can be requested, making it difficult for those without a certain object (such as metal or a valuable crafted item) to obtain it through a stand.
• When the Barter Stand is destroyed, all items in the stand are lost.
• It is intended that barter stands can change owners if there are no items for sale. However, this is currently bugged.
• Barter stands follow the same rules for theft as any other container. That is, a barter stand built on unclaimed land allows anyone to take items without paying for them; a barter stand built on a village claim allows villagers to freely take items; etc.
• Another use of Barter/Vending stands is to discover items. The owner of the stand can't discover items this way as the owner can't buy from their own stand.
