Hey addicts. I’m advertising for the “Frontier” region’s upcoming “Mine Mall”. This project was built by me, AlmightyOwner92, with the aim of bringing all addicts' specialty shops to one common area, making it easier to find discounts on server items, or even better, buy or sell items that the server /shop doesn’t even deal with. While the mall is still a work in progress, it is nearing completion. So much so, that I feel it necessary to make other players aware of it, for it’s arrival in the days to come. It is truly a grand accomplishment, and will be even more so once we add the diversity brought by players from around the map.

As of yet, this was an individual project, and is not really supported by the server. It is simply an idea I had that I thought would be very unique, while at the same time, actually being quite practical. Perhaps in the near future support for “Mine Mall” will be granted by the moderators, but for now, let’s try to do what we can with what we’re given.

Now for the specifics of the project. The mall includes 36 shop units, all to be owned by different players from all over the mine craft addicts server. These shops are split into two floors, which, once filled, will be a booming economic center, full of different items to buy, and players who need them. Here are images of the “Mine Mall” as it stands right now, nearing completion:

Each shop includes a display area, where shopkeepers can show off their goods, as well as having a place to stay while selling them. The shop units also include a small storage room in the back, which is loaded right from the get-go with 4 large chests to store your sold goods. The floors of each individual shop are made out of different coloured wools, do distinguish them from one another, and each unit comes standard with wooden shelves for display as well as a serving counter, but, here’s the best part; The Mall has been designed with customization in mind - Each unit’s floors can be removed and replaced, as well as ANY of the shelves and counters, to fit the players needs and tastes, without compromising any neighboring shops beside or below them. Shops are lit by glowstone in the ceilings, and therefore leave all of the wall space free for other objects. I have included an image of both areas of the shop units:

Right now, the price of the shop units is unknown, however, the goal of selling the units is not really to make profit, it is simply to replenish the costs of building this monstrous project, and therefore will be kept to as small an amount as feasible, without being a simple donation on my part. While the shops are not for sale quite yet, it is likely that the mall will be completed in a matter of a couple days, and in that view, anyone who is at all interested should contact me, AlmightyOwner92, saying so. I look forward to seeing all of our players come together, and I hope there is slight interest in this idea. I hope to hear from some of you soon, and I’ll be sure to keep you all updated on the specific opening date of the build. Also, I have included a diagram of the layout of each shop, as well as a diagram of the whole mall, showing which units are where, and which colour of carpet is to be put in them by default:

If you are interested in a specific unit, by all means, let me know. Play on, mine craft addicts.

Amazing work AlmightOwner92, I really dig it.

Unfortunately, you're going to meet a bit of a roadblock in terms of selling/leasing units as we do not currently prohibit the subletting, rental, or sale of claimed land.

Use of/access to chests within your claim can be controlled by LWC, but the use of/access to build rights within your claim would be at the RM's discretion (so long as no currency is changing hands in exchange for ownership/lease of this land).

We do have ideas in store for the future, but none that would fall into your current timeline (for completion, etc).

However, given the amount of work you have obviously invested into this project, it would make sense for the admin/dev team to get ideas such as this one onto the table and see what we can come up with as a short-term solution.
 
I hate to break it you, but I already tried something like this a few months ago. It didnt turn out so well. Just a word of advice to you, dont let just anyone in. Make sure they have a plan for what they want.
 
Okay, thank your for letting me know, I guess I never really thought that in order for someone to build their shop, they would somewhat have to post a land claim in the region. In terms of the completion date, if this is, as you say, impossible to meet, we can always hold off until something more logical comes along in terms of renting. I do hope to see a way in which this could be addressed, but it's no rush :p I simply enjoy building to add to the server, as opposed to just building for myself, and my other ideas may encounter roadblocks as well, but some of the fun is getting through those roadblocks and creating something great ;) thanx for all of your help :) and you'll almost definitely see more from me in the near future :p hahaha.
 
Sorry michael, i failed my store... But nobody ever came up to it :(

I say: not enough advertising? (i dunno what u did bout that maybe u did, other than that it's probably my fault)
 
The problem everyone had was that they couldnt always be there to sell stuff. We need something like chest shops or npcs.
 
Rest assured that we will be introducing a system to allow player-created shops in the not-too-distant future.
