# EssentialsX Economy
2+
The built in economy API will redirect to any other detected economy system such as vault. This means you can use EssEco api as a economy api instead of vault if your plugin is dependent on Essentials.
3+
## Commands
4+
There are a number of commands for use in-game, including but not limited to:
5+
- /eco, /economy: Allows you to take, give, or reset a player's money.
6+
- /sell: Sells an item and amount at the price specified in the worth.yml.
7+
- /balance, /bal, /money: Displays the current balance of a player.
8+
- /baltop, /balancetop: Displays a list of the richest people.
9+
- /pay: Pays a specified player from your balance.
10+
## Configuration
11+
There are a number of different options related to the internal economy system which can be found in the `config.yml`.
12+
Most of the config options are explained adequately in the comments:
13+
```yml
14+
# Defines the balance with which new players begin. Defaults to 0.
15+
starting-balance: 0
16+
17+
# Defines the cost to use the given commands PER USE.
18+
# Some commands like /repair have sub-costs, check the wiki for more information.
19+
command-costs:
20+
# /example costs $1000 PER USE
21+
#example: 1000
22+
# /kit tools costs $1500 PER USE
23+
#kit-tools: 1500
24+
25+
# Set this to a currency symbol you want to use.
26+
# Remember, if you want to use special characters in this document,
27+
# such as accented letters, you MUST save the file as UTF-8, not ANSI.
28+
currency-symbol: '$'
29+
30+
# Enable this to make the currency symbol appear at the end of the amount rather than at the start.
31+
# For example, the euro symbol typically appears after the current amount.
32+
currency-symbol-suffix: false
33+
34+
# Set the maximum amount of money a player can have.
35+
# The amount is always limited to 10 trillion because of the limitations of a java double.
36+
max-money: 10000000000000
37+
38+
# Set the minimum amount of money a player can have (must be above the negative of max-money).
39+
# Setting this to 0, will disable overdrafts/loans completely. Users need 'essentials.eco.loan' perm to go below 0.
40+
min-money: -10000
41+
42+
# Enable this to log all interactions with trade/buy/sell signs and sell command.
43+
economy-log-enabled: false
44+
45+
# Enable this to also log all transactions from other plugins through Vault.
46+
# This can cause the economy log to fill up quickly so should only be enabled for testing purposes!
47+
economy-log-update-enabled: false
48+
```
49+
EssentialsX adds the ability to specify the minimum transaction amount to prevent the dreaded microtransactions:
50+
```yml
51+
# Minimum acceptable amount to be used in /pay.
52+
minimum-pay-amount: 0.001
53+
```
54+
EssentialsX adds currency format to improve the localization. You may uncomment the currency-symbol-format-locale or uncomment currency format and create your own:
55+
```yml
56+
# The format of currency, excluding symbols. See currency-symbol-format-locale for symbol configuration.
57+
#
58+
# "#,##0.00" is how the majority of countries display currency.
59+
#currency-format: "#,##0.00"
60+
61+
# Format currency symbols. Some locales use , and . interchangeably.
62+
# Some formats do not display properly in-game due to faulty Minecraft font rendering.
63+
#
64+
# For 1.234,50 use de-DE
65+
# For 1,234.50 use en-US
66+
# For 1'234,50 use fr-ch
67+
#currency-symbol-format-locale: en-US
68+
```
69+
#### Permissions
70+
[Permissions for commands can be found here](https://essinfo.xeya.me/permissions.html) (Community maintained list)
71+
72+
Important permissions include `essentials.eco` and `essentials.pay`.
73+
## Signs & Shops
74+
Signs may be used to create shops where players can buy and sell items/blocks to the server in exchange for money.
75+
#### Signs
76+
To create a sign, ensure that you have the `signs.create.trade` permission and that you have uncommented `- buy` and `- sell` under `enabledSigns:` in the config.yml
77+
If a sign is placed and the following is typed:
78+
```
79+
[Buy]
80+
1
81+
Dirt
82+
$1
83+
```
84+
The sign will allow players with the `signs.use.buy` permission to purchase 1 dirt for $1 when left clicked. If `[Buy]` is changed to `[Sell]` and the player has the respective permission, the player may sell 1 dirt to the server in exchange for $1.
85+
#### Shops
86+
To prevent players exploiting the the economy by purchasing from the server using a buy sign and `/sell`, only create Buy signs at or above the rates found in `worth.yml`.
87+
A good server shop typically offers bulk Sell signs at better rates than the `worth.yml` to encourage players to use the shop over `/sell`.
88+
Alternatively, if players aren't given the `essentials.sell` permission their only option is to trade between players or go to the shop.
