Minecraft plugin AuctionHouse

🔌 About AuctionHouse

AuctionHouse — is a plugin for Minecraft servers that allows players to list, bid on and buy items via an in‑game auction house (/ah). AuctionHouse provides a GUI‑based marketplace, admin tools and configurable rules to control listings and fees.

🎯 Purpose

AuctionHouse addresses the need for a player‑driven market where items can be safely traded without manual shop setup. It reduces scams and simplifies economy flow by centralizing sales through a consistent interface. AuctionHouse is targeted at Spigot/Paper servers using a Vault‑compatible economy. ()

• Support for both buy‑it‑now (BIN) and bid auctions. ()
• Listing fees and percentage taxes with caps. ()
• Item restrictions by type, name, lore, enchantments, custom model data and regex filters. ()
• Announcements of new listings and per‑player announce toggle. ()

• Optional Discord integration and logging of transactions. ()
