Iconomy and Iconomy Chest Shop

iconomy is one of my favorite plugins. this plugin allows players to have an individual economy system so that they can buy and sell items. this really gives my server its real RPG style of game mode. this mod is also useful when creating a vanilla world and can be used instead of banning a player, just decreasing there economy balance. Opps and admins have the ability to decrease and increase other players balances. another great feature of this mod is that it gives you the ability to install other plugins along side it, e.g. iconomy chest shop, and Towny. the plugin, chest shop allows player to create chest that display a sign indicating what the shop includes. and Towny simply allows you to create towns using iconomy as a payment system if a mayor of a town want to buy extra land. the commands used by ordinary players are,

• /money (this displays the players current balance. /balance can also be used if the plugin essentials has been installed).
• /money top (displays the top ten iconomy accounts on the server).
• /money <player> (show a specific players balance).
• /money help or /money ? (shows all available commands for the player).
• /money pay [player] [amount] - Send money to a player

other commands only avalible to admins and opps are,

• /money give <player> <amount> (gives a player a specific amount).
• /money take <player> <amount> (takes money away from a players current balance).

Minecraft Plugins

This is a blog designed to help you find and install all the plugins you need for creating a successful multilayer minecraft server.

What you will need:

A Bukkit server is the most important part when creating a server with plugins. And ordinary minecraft server, downloaded from the minecraft website does not work.To use any mods you must install the Bukkit server.

When you have installed the craftbukkit.jar file from www.bukkit.org, you should find a YouTube tutorial on how to get the server up and running using a program called hamachi.

For those of you that do not know what a plugin, A minecraft plugin is a mod for minecraft. These are often used on servers and have been proved to be extremely useful when create a server that might involve a certain game mode, e.g. RPG. My own minecraft server includes several key plugins to give it an RPG style game mode. The plugins I am currently running include a virtual economy so that each player can gain or lose money. I have also installed plugins such as the Iconomy chest shop that runs of the iconomy plugin. This is used so that player can create ways to gain and lose money by buying and selling items. I have also included in my server, the essentials plugin, this allows you to give admins and opps extra commands. E.g. if an opp or admin type /spawnmob zombie, then they have the ability to spawn mobs. Other useful plugins include world edit. At first I did not want to install this mod in case something goes horribly wrong. But after watching a few YouTube tutorials and found out what it is capable of I soon gave in. world edit is able to quickly destroy and build blocks using a wand tool (wooden axe). This can be used to create flat land in seconds. A very important part when starting a minecraft server, is remembering that whenever minecraft is updated, most plugins need to be as well.

If you are having any problems when installing a plugin then please leave a comment.

This video will help you get started if you do not already have a bukkit server.
