Listing Generation​

The addon's core: a background scheduler that fires at random intervals and posts bot listings to the auction house.

  • Randomized intervals keep the marketplace feeling organic
  • Player-count scaling adjusts listing volume to match server activity
  • Peak hour multiplier floods the market during busy periods
  • Global bot listing cap prevents the auction house from being overwhelmed
  • Per-item cooldown stops the same material from appearing too frequently

Material Pools​

Items are organized into named pools with independent weights, quantity ranges, and listing durations. On each generation run, a pool is selected by weight, then an item is randomly chosen from within it.

PoolTypical Contents
CommonFood, basic crafting materials, everyday supplies
RareHarder-to-obtain drops and materials
OresAll ore variants (iron, gold, diamond, netherite, etc.)
BlocksBuilding, decorative, and structural blocks
EnchantedItems designed to receive random enchantments
PotionsNormal, splash, and lingering potions

Custom items from ItemsAdder, Oraxen, Nexo, and MMOItems can be added to any pool. Dimension-specific items (Nether and End) have their own configurable lists.

Pricing System​

Prices are calculated dynamically using a layered approach:

  1. Shop-based price (EconomyShopGUI or ExcellentShop) × profit margin
  2. Per-item fallback price if no shop data exists
  3. Category fallback (blocks, tools, armor) or universal default
  4. Rarity multiplier applied based on which pool the item came from
  5. Time-based bonus for peak hours, nights, and weekends
  6. Anti-arbitrage and anti-undercut checks to prevent exploits
  7. Enchantment price additions layered on top for enchanted items

Enchantment System​

Bot listings can include randomly enchanted items with pricing that reflects the enchantments applied:

  • Each enchantment type has a configurable level range and price-per-level range
  • A Sharpness V sword will cost significantly more than Sharpness I
  • Multiple enchantments stack their price additions
  • A global enchantment chance controls how often listings are enchanted
  • max-count caps how many enchantments can appear on one item

Engagement Features​
