EzAuction

**EzAuction** is a complete, GUI-driven auction house plugin for Paper, Spigot, Purpur, and Bukkit Minecraft servers. Players list items for timed sale, create reserve-balance buy orders, and compete in real-time live broadcast auctions – all through smooth, paginated menus backed by Vault economy, MySQL or YAML persistence, PlaceholderAPI support, and optional Discord webhook notifications. Whether you run survival, skyblock, SMP, or factions, EzAuction handles your server economy: timed listings, offline-safe item returns, enchantment-aware search, live auction sessions with one-click bidding, and team-scoped auctions via (https://modrinth.com/plugin/teams-api). | | | |---|---| | **Platforms** | Paper, Spigot, Purpur, Bukkit 1.13 – 26.1.* | | **Java** | 21+ | | **Storage** | YAML (built-in) · MySQL | | **Languages** | English · Dutch · Spanish · Chinese | | **Dependencies** | Vault + any economy plugin | > **Requires Vault and a compatible economy plugin such as (https://modrinth.com/plugin/ezeconomy) to process currency.** ## What's New – v2.3.0 ### Live Auction Overhaul - **Live auction seller management** – Players with `ezauction.auction.live.sell` can now queue items directly from the Live Auction browser (sell button in the GUI) or via `/liveauction sell`. On enqueue, a chat message confirms the queue position. `/liveauction cancel` removes the entry and refunds the deposit; a cancel button also appears in the GUI while the player has a queued entry. Admins with `ezauction.auction.live.admin` can force-cancel any active auction with `/liveauction cancel <id>`. - **`/bid` command** (alias `/livebid`) – Dedicated command for live auction interactions: place bids (`/bid <amount>`), view session status, and manage per-player countdown preferences. Bids can also be placed by clicking the suggestion in the live auction chat message. - **Per-player notification preferences** – Toggle countdowns with `/bid notify ` and select display type with `/bid notify display <types…>`. Preferences persist across restarts in `live-preferences.yml` (or a MySQL table). - **(https://modrinth.com/plugin/ezcountdown) integration** (optional soft-dependency) – Display live auction countdowns via `ACTION_BAR`, `BOSS_BAR`, `TITLE`, `SCOREBOARD`, or `CHAT`. - **Clickable bid messages & item hover previews** – The bid announcement in chat links directly to `/bid <next-minimum>`; hovering the item name shows enchantments, potion effects, and shulker box contents on hover. - **Five new Bukkit events** – `LiveAuctionStartedEvent` (cancellable), `LiveAuctionBidPlacedEvent` (cancellable), `LiveAuctionEndedEvent`, `LiveAuctionPlayerJoinedEvent`, `LiveAuctionPlayerLeftEvent`. - **Live Auctions shortcut in Auction House** – A quick-access beacon button (slot 47) in the main `/auction` browser opens the Live Auction picker directly, without having to type `/liveauction`. !(https://i.ibb.co/3mgZ7nKC/image.png) !(https://i.ibb.co/8LjtSrdM/image.png) !(https://i.ibb.co/3mDfTnKc/image.png) ### Fixes & Other Additions - **Claim GUI** – `/auction claim` and the Claims button in the browser now open a 54-slot GUI showing each pending return item with its expiry date displayed in the item lore. A single **Claim All** button collects everything at once; a **Back** button returns to the auction browser. - **Configurable claim expiry** – Set `claim.expiry-days` in `auction.yml` (default `7`) to control how many days pending return items are held before expiry is shown in the Claim GUI. - **First-bid minimum fix** – The opening bid on a live auction now only requires the starting price; the increment is applied to subsequent bids only. Sending an empty `/bid` response automatically places the minimum bid. ## Why Use EzAuction? !(https://i.ibb.co/ks3WjqQ2/ez-auction-auction-house.png) - **Menu-first trading** – Paginated browsers, sell/order editors, and confirmation popups keep every transaction guided and click-friendly. - **Listings + buy orders** – Run timed sales, reserve balance for buy requests, and fulfill either side straight from the GUI or command flow. !(https://i.ibb.co/27hNgZgx/ez-auction-buy-orders.png) !(https://i.ibb.co/KxyrpHQk/ez-auction-listing.png) - **Team auctions** – (https://modrinth.com/plugin/teams-api) integration lets team members co-list and co-claim auctions, perfect for faction and skyblock economies. !(https://i.ibb.co/vCYzR3R6/image.png) - **Async persistence & fallbacks** – Listings and history write through dedicated executors, automatically falling back to YAML storage if MySQL is unreachable. - **Offline-safe retu
