How do I buy or sell whole stacks of items in the server shop?
Type `/shop`, click on a category such as Blocks, Ores, or Farming, and middle-click on the item you want. This opens the quantity screen where you can choose exact amounts like 1, 8, 16, or 64 to buy or sell.
Do I need a separate money plugin for Crown Economy to work?
No, it includes a built-in money system that tracks player balances on its own without needing a separate economy plugin. If you already have a money plugin installed, leaving `provider` set to `AUTO` in the configuration lets Crown Economy connect to your current setup automatically.
How do I check someone's balance or send money to another player?
Use `/ce balance` to see your own funds, or `/ce balance [player]` to check how much money someone else has. To send money directly to another player, run `/ce pay `.
Will I still get paid if someone buys my items while I am offline?
Yes, sellers always receive their money even if they are offline when a buyer completes a purchase. Your earnings are added to your balance automatically and will be there when you log back in.
How do I browse shops created by other players?
Type `/pshop` to open the player stores menu and browse player-run listings. Depending on how sellers set up their businesses, you can buy from virtual shops, chest shops that restock automatically, or the auction house for rare items.
How do I change the starting money and the currency name on my server?
Open your configuration file and look under the `economy.internal` section, where `starting-balance` is set to `100.0` by default. In that same section, change `currency-name-singular` and `currency-name-plural` from "Coin" and "Coins" to whatever names you want.
What command lets an admin change a player's money balance?
Run `/ce eco ` to modify a player's money balance directly. You can confirm the change afterward by checking their total with `/ce balance [player]`.
What is the point of putting money in a bank instead of keeping it in my balance?
Banks allow you to set up shared accounts with friends so you can pool your funds together. Keeping money in a bank also lets you earn extra money over time.
How can I trade items and money with another player without getting scammed?
Instead of dropping items on the ground and using `/ce pay` separately, use the safe trading menu. It lets two players swap both items and money in the same protected window so neither side can walk away without paying.
Why aren't my other server plugins detecting Crown Economy's built-in money?
Check your configuration file under `economy.internal` and make sure `register-with-vault` is set to `true` so Crown Economy shares its balances with other tools. If that is turned off, the plugin runs in standalone mode and keeps all money data to itself in a simple file.
