Features

Economy

• Multi-Currency - Define multiple currencies (e.g., Aurels, Dollars, Euros) with unique symbols and starting balances
• Per-Item Currency - Assign specific currencies to individual market items
• Vault Support - Fully compatible with Vault-dependent plugins (ShopGUI+, Essentials, etc.)
• Database - SQLite or MySQL storage with automatic migration
• Offline Earnings - Get paid for auction sales even when offline

Server Market

A server-owned shop with dynamic pricing and three interface modes:

• Classic - Traditional chest-based inventory GUI
• Modern - Styled chest GUI with MiniMessage gradient titles, glass-pane borders, formatted lore
• Web - Browser dashboard (see Web Dashboard)

Pricing Mechanics:

• Prices automatically rise on buys (Demand) and fall on sells (Supply)
• Anti-Exploit: Sell price can never exceed Buy price
• Price Floor: Can't drop below 20% of base (configurable)
• Price Ceiling: Can't rise above 500% of base (configurable)
• Natural Recovery: Prices passively drift toward base value every 10 minutes

Quality of Life:

• Live UI updates every 1 second while a menu is open
• Page indicator books showing current page (e.g., "Page 1 of 5")
• Compass search button to find any item
• Market Crash Alerts for bargain-priced high-value items
• Smart inventory: purchases fill partial stacks first

Performance:

• Viewer-Only Refresh: logic dormant unless a player has a menu open
• Batched Disk I/O: transaction data saved in background batches
• O(1) Data Access: local caching for near-zero CPU impact
• Massive Catalog: all building blocks + 60+ mob spawners

Auction House

A fully self-contained player-driven exchange:

• 100% GUI Driven: sell items, place bids, make private offers via in-menu buttons
• Safety Confirmations: dedicated confirmation screen before deducting funds
• Manage Offers: /ah offers to Accept or Decline incoming deals
• Live Updates: GUI refreshes instantly for all players on buys, bids, cancels; timers update every second
• Auto-Refunds: outbid? Money instantly returned

Buy Orders

A global request system for offline purchasing:

• Request any item (including 120+ enchanted books and ingots) at your price
• Other players browse and fulfill orders from their inventory
• Escrow System: money held safely, refunded on cancel
• Offline Collections: fulfilled items go to /ah collect bin; notified on login
• Buyer Notifications: real-time when filled, or on next login

Custom Item Detection

Automatically discovers custom items from popular third-party plugins:

• Auto-Scan on Startup - runs once, detects all custom items
• Supported Plugins (zero hard dependencies, all via reflection):
  • ItemsAdder, Oraxen, MMOItems, MythicMobs, ExecutableItems, Nexo, SX-Item
• Discovered items written to config.yml under discovered-items:
• Persisted in custom_items database table (schema v2, auto-migrates)
• No supported plugins installed? Scanner silently skips with zero overhead

Web Dashboard

A modern, responsive web app with nearly 100% uptime:

• Server Market - purchase items from the web, delivered instantly in-game

• Auction House - place bids and buyout items (BIN) from the browser

• Buy Orders - fulfill player buy orders from your online inventory

• Price Tracker - interactive chart with 7-day history, bezier curves, gradient fills, hover tooltips

Web Features:

• Live Sync: in-game changes reflect instantly on the web and vice-versa
• Prices recorded every 10 minutes, stored for 7 days
• Cloud Mode: optional cloud hosting via Render
• Multi-Currency UI: custom currency symbols synced from config.yml
• Icon Fallbacks: seamless fallback for older MC versions
• Secure Sessions: /web in-game generates a time-limited link (rolling 1-hour timeout)
• Tab Sleep Mode: no network/CPU when tab is inactive; instant wake on return
• RAM Optimized: per-server memory under 1MB via raw JSON string caching
• Activation Queue: fair waitlist when cloud server hits its 500MB limit

Network Syncing (MySQL Required)

Aurelium supports cross-server synchronization for BungeeCord and Velocity networks.

MySQL is required for synchronization. SQLite does not support cross-server data sharing. Point all backend servers to the same MySQL database:

• Global Balances - player balances refreshed on join across the network
• Global Auction House - active auctions and collection bin shared across all linked servers
• Per-Server Markets - dynamic prices stored in each server's local config.yml, allowing different economies per server while players keep the same wallet

Language

A messages.yml file is generated on startup.

• Translate: Change any message to your language
• Color Codes: Use MiniMessage formatting (e.g., <green>) or legacy & codes

FAQ

"Unknown Command" - If /market or /eco says "Unknown command", the plugin failed to load.

• Check server console/logs for errors
• Ensure you have Aurelium.jar in plugins/
• Ensure you are running Paper (or compatible forks: Purpur, Pufferfish, Leaves)

"No Permission" - You need OP (/op <player>) or the aureleconomy.admin permission node. Standard player commands are enabled for everyone by default.

Still not working? - Open an issue on GitHub with your server version, error logs, and steps to reproduce.
