How to Check Shard Balances and Pay Other Players

Donut Shards includes an economy system that lets you store currency, look up balances, and safely transfer shards to other players on your server.

Checking Balances

To view how many shards you currently hold, open the in-game chat and run:

/shards balance

You can also check how many shards another player has by adding their username to the command:

/shards balance [player]

The plugin formats the balance response neatly in chat, letting you verify funds before planning trades or purchases.

Transferring Shards to Friends

When you want to send currency directly to another player, use the pay command:

/shards pay <player> <amount>

Keep the following safety mechanics in mind during transfers:

• Transfer Tax: Depending on server settings, a customizable tax may be deducted from the transferred amount.
• Balance Protection: The system prevents accounts from dropping below zero or exceeding the server's maximum limit. If you do not have enough shards to cover the amount plus any applicable tax, the transfer will not complete.
• Transaction History: All transaction records are saved automatically, ensuring no currency is lost during trades.
