You should make the main markets show up in a 54 slot GUI and try make it like a live feed? (If that's even possible).

That would be a nice little thing to put in an update. I would most likely allow the servers to config which stocks are shown. A live feed is possible and stocks already update in real time every time they check the price or open their portfolio.

What are peoples opinions on the price?

 

[BlondSpock]

Actually sounds really fun! I would buy it for my own server but it doesn't really fit the theme unfortunately. Will bookmark though and may try to cop in the future.

P.S. Price seems reasonable.

Thanks! I’m glad it interests you

Sounds like an awesome plugin, could be a nice addition to a survival or towny server. I may have to pick this up in the future!

Great concept, and with real time updates is just outstanding. I'm really impressed. Sadly most people playing minecraft aren't fully aware of what the stock market is, much less how it works. By the time people do understand the stock market to a basic extent, they usually have quit minecraft.

Thanks! I love seeing people show interest in something I worked very hard on. I appreciate it.

How do the stocks go up In value

How do the stocks go up In value

They are real-life stocks. So usually, if a company does something good the stock's value goes up. If something bad happens the stock price falls.

 

[Swimstar99]

Oh didn’t think they were real stocks

What determines the price going up or down? Can the market crash, if so how would that work?

Oh, does it get the data off of actual companies?

Yes, uses a stock api that is is all real information live.

 

[tchristofferson]

Oh so basically a simulator but with real prices for your minecraft server, which API did you use to fetch the data from the stock mark

IEX Trading. It updates in real time as well.

What companys are there to buy stocks in?

Maybe this would work better with crypto as it's easier to understand for an average 12 year old.

It covers a large majority of stocks because it uses an API provided by IEX Trading. Cryptocurrencies could possibly be an update in the future if people think it is a good idea, or I could make a separate plugin for it.
