Yeah i saw this in his live stream, he asked me to make a list of things and possible prices, witch is what im working on now but its taking bit longer then expected due to RL crap ...
Seperate from skyblock or linked up with skyblock ?
Cause if its linked the whole shop thingie isnt needed, although that can also be removed by that time or changed were neeeded.
I like the idea in general though, especially after seeing those screenshot :P
As the shops are being worked on, i suggest keeping it closed for now and see how the shops go, or one could open it with a world gaurd protection and border just for PvP purposes to kill time (although im not sure how that would go portal whize for each island currently on the map, sicne the cords are linked and they could potential end up outside the protectio/border ?). With the use of shops you have more controlle over how much resources people get and how "fast" they grow, so it wont be needed to to gain resources.
Just keep in mind with any costum flying aditions to the server that a lot of them are very glitchy and when servers get crowded they start being a pain rather then a solution i many cases. Id suggest doing a lot of testing before adding things like that to a world. I saw this happen on a few servers, the worst one i seen so far was a flying carpet called magic carpet, man that thing was a pain to move around and even worse when a lag spike hit you in the face.
Ill keep an eye out to see how this goes on, but for now i got my hands full mixing and matching items to get those shops going :P
*edit* small thing i noticed, people are abusing the "/island restart" function atm to gain resources, is there anything inside the plugin that can prevent this a bit more like a massivly long delay on re-use ? I have a coule of screenshot from a team restart a island over 6 times to gain sand and lava buckets, and a few more assorted once about a young player having atleast 6 water buckets ><
