Shop idea?

  1. So I had this idea of a shop where you pay in diamonds. But idk how to do that. Ideas?
  2. Sounds impossible, you need to trust a lot of people if you're going to do it the only way. Which is by replacing the diamonds with items in open chests

  3. you could also do it like this, which is very complicated and redstone-heavy:

  4. Let me guess it that mumbos Vidio?
  5. Anyone else got ideas
  6. It's basically like a casino but without the random part, you always get what you pay for.

    Problem is making sure people don't blow diamonds by throwing them in fast. You need this for 2 reasons, to stop people complaining and accusing you of scamming and in case you want to count diamonds. This you will want unless everything costs 1 diamond or 1 diamond block.

    I've seen this sort of thing on EMC, can't remember who did it though. The automated shop Saz linked is probably the very same thing.

    If that much redstone is an issue for you then the only way is to buy diamonds from players with one chest and then hope they buy stuff while there.
  7. So basically bara your saying a machine that counts each diamonds and gives a pulse and enough time in between the pulses
  8. That's a lot of effort to build. Also, a lot of machines will only do one item at a time. So the products you want to sell have to be equal value of the diamond.
  9. The person that has already done it is M4ster_m1ner, and you can see it at res 12163

    The reason its not more common is because of how well set up the trading system is on emc. you might very well be able to build the most spectacular shop but not many people will use it because most, I assume, think in terms of rupees and not diamonds. May be worth your time to reach out to m4ster_m1ner and get his input on how his shop with the same design is doing

  10. If you want to trade diamonds for things make a thread and list the base price for an individual diamond then mark next to the item you're selling with how many diamond it'll take to buy said item.
