Getting a shop

Obtaining a shop is simple, but the process varies depending on the type of shop you want to open.

Starter Barrels
If the barrels are unclaimed, write your username and the date on the sign below. You can now store and sell items inside them. Remember, you cannot add more barrels, and you must vacate within 3 days to avoid losing your items.
Starter Stalls
In the Market Square Rent Room at Town Hall, check if a stall is available. If it is, write your name on its sign. It’s now yours! Stalls cannot be modified, and you must pay 5 cc weekly to keep your spot and items safe.
Market Plots
Follow the same process as Starter Stalls: check availability in the Market Square Rent Room and claim the plot by adding your name to its sign. You can design your stall freely, as long as it fits the plot. Rent varies by size and location.
Shopfronts
Check the Market Square Rent Room to see if a shopfront is available. If so, contact GinaBee2 in-game or open a ticket on Discord to claim it.

Paying Weekly Rent

For shops with weekly rent, you must pay the weekly fee before 20:00 CET / 21:00 CEST, each Monday. Check the link or the Discord events to easily convert to your timezone. If you can afford it, consider paying multiple weeks in advance to secure your spot. If you fail to pay rent, you will be evicted, and your items may be irrevocably lost.

Market Square Rules

To keep Market Square looking nice, fair for everyone, and to lower the administrative burden on the server staff, we have some rules you must follow.

  1. Pay your rent on time, or lose your plot and possibly the items inside.
  2. Respect the boundaries of your plot:
    1. If you have Starter Barrels or a Starter Stall, do not change the design or add more barrels.
    2. If you have a Market Plot, do not build outside the designated area, underneath the floor, or above 5m in height.
    3. If you have a Shopfront, do not modify the exterior or dig underground.
  3. You can own a limited number of each shop type, according to the following table. Alt accounts do not increase this limit.
    Type Limit per Player
    Starter Barrels 1
    Starter Stall 1
    Market Plot 3
    Shopfront 2
  4. Keep your plot well-lit to prevent mobs from spawning.
  5. If you do not actively use or restock your plot, we may remove it to free up space for others. You will receive a heads-up first.
  6. If you did not add your name to the sign of your plot—either below the Starter Barrels or in the Rent Room for the other plots—the plot will not be considered yours, and other players may claim it freely.
  7. Respect the build restrictions for your plot type, as outlined in Structure of the Square.
