Welcome to the Shopping District
To make sure we keep a dynamic and buzzing shopping district, we have the following rules:
- No bases at spawn or in/under/over/around the shopping district
- All builds must be an active shop (beautifying areas are welcome)
- New shops must be built in the currently active space
- Shops are run on a bartering honor system: shops decide their chosen payment, and payment must be placed when you pick up your purchase (ie: 1 stack of logs = 2 diamonds. Replace 1 stack of logs with your 2 diamonds)
Everyone is allowed to establish a shop in the shopping district following these steps:
- Buy a plot of available space on the currently active island
- Plots are 10 by 10 blocks and cost 1 diamond block to purchase
- You may purchase 5 plots per shop build
- The plots must be connected (20×20 square? – 10×30 rectangle? – L-shaped? – T-shaped?)
- You may only make 1 shop per connected plot purchase
- Your shop must have a minor and themed assortment of inventory (no malls)
- Keep inventory themed, ie:
- logs // stones // wool // books // gunpowder and fireworks // etc.
- Ask the Elders if in doubt
- The build doesn’t have to match your inventory, but you’re welcome to theme that too
- Keep inventory themed, ie:
- You must hook up the shop to a path / establish a path
- You must announce your shop
- in the #ShoppingDistrict channel
- Mark it on the in-game map
- the shop must have 1 visible sign stating the ownership
- No price gouging
- price your inventory reasonably and competitively, and do not undercut other businesses
