Customers FAQ

Place one bed in the center of a crafting grid and surround it with eight emeralds (one in each outer slot). This creates a Customer Spawner block that you can place down to start your shop.

You can sell any item by placing it in the spawner's inventory slots. Customers will randomly request items from the rows you fill, so you can mix different food, potions, or other items to give buyers variety.

Use the ninth slot in the spawner inventory to set a custom price. Place the item you want to price there, and all customers will pay that amount instead of the default one emerald.

Shift modes (breakfast, lunch, dinner, day, night) determine when customers spawn and what they want to buy. Timed shifts show a progress bar on your screen and end with a scoreboard showing how many items you served.

Hold a clock and right-click the spawner block to cycle through available shift modes. Each mode has its own customer preferences and timing.

Yes—the stack size of an item in the spawner determines the maximum quantity a single customer can request. Larger stacks mean customers may ask for more items per order.

Apply redstone power to the spawner block using redstone dust, a lever, or a button. The spawner will pause and stop creating new buyers while powered.

Manual mode lets you spawn one customer at a time using a redstone pulse or button instead of waiting for automatic spawning. This gives you full control over the pace of orders.

The customer will request specific items—give them what they ask for and they'll pay you emeralds. You can see what they want on the screen during timed shifts.

Check that the spawner has items in its inventory for customers to order, that it's not powered by redstone, and that you've set a shift mode. If using manual mode, make sure you're sending redstone pulses to spawn buyers.
