We’ve all been there, you’re completely tuned in to a build you’re working on and you run out of supplies. You can either stop to go mine more, or stop by our server market areas to put in a request for what you need. The problem is, more often than not, the player who owns the shop may not be online when you need them, or they themselves need to mine the supplies for your order which can also take time you’d rather spend building. We believe we have found the perfect solution!

Introducing the new Villager Mall!

The Villager Mall is your one stop shop for everything Minecraft! No more tagging players in the group if you need to place an order. Thanks to our recent XP bottling system you simply go to the shop you need and trade with the villager in charge.

The beauty of this project is that it’s still community based. We need you guys to pick the themes and design the shops. You will supply the materials to decorate the store and come up with the price list (although admins will help with that if you are unsure what should be charged). F or doing so the villager will be modeled after you (have your player head), and a payment of one stack of XP bottles (equals approximately 40 levels). Afterwards the shops will be completely self sufficient. You will not be supplying materials, filling orders, or collecting payments. The villager will do it all. This ensures that whenever you need something, the shop owner will be available to supply as much as you need right then!

Shops are filling up fast so get your ideas in! There is a drop box for shop themes located in the basement of the command tower. Drop your idea in the hopper for admin approval while shops are still available. We are not opposed to multiple shops selling the same item if it goes along with their theme, but duplicate items will be priced the same in each shop.

Bottling your XP is easy and the command to do so is located at the service desk in the center of the mall, and posted at various locations within.

There is also a food court available which may help you get that new advancement “A Balanced Diet”. The villagers will no longer be taking cobblestone as we have switched to the new xp system, but if you are looking to get rid of all that extra cobble the Food Truck Villagers are still happy to serve you.

Thank you everyone for all your help making this such a fun build and community project. The shops look great and the idea has been positively received by all. Great team work!

 

Holidays are a great excuse for server shenanigans and all around good fun so it’s a good thing that Easter is upon us!

2015-04-04_09.54.11

 

We will be celebrating Easter with a very special “egg” hunt in the Nu Nu Market. Why do I keep putting the word egg in quotes you may ask? Well these are no ordinary eggs. Last year we used spawn eggs, but with mob griefing turned on for Nu Nu, we figured that would be most disastrous so don’t bother looking for those, there are none 🙂

2015-04-04_09.57.43

If you were here for last year’s egg hunt you may remember that we hid player heads around for you to find and collect. We will be doing the same this year. We’ve also included some special ones as well.

So join us, Saturday April 4, 2015 at 6:00pm EST for this holiday event.

PLEASE NOTE: We will need to close the server at 5:30pm EST in order for the admins to hide the eggs and make sure we have everything ready to go.

Welcome to the NuNu Server Market!
If you are interested in opening a shop on this server, please read through the following (don’t skip ahead!) so you can become a Market expert.

Market Center

Who can open a shop?

~Anyone! While everyone gets excited during the opening of the Markets, we know it can be difficult to pick what to sell, what to charge for trade, how to set it all up, and stocking up on inventory. So we suggest you take some time to figure out what you have the resources & time to provide as products or services before jumping in. Don’t worry, we have lots of space in this Market.

~Our server kids need to have an active adult player “sponsor” their shop. This means if a child wants to open a shop, they need to team up with an adult who is willing to be responsible for making sure orders are filled. The adult can be the contact for getting tagged in the Facebook group when an order is submitted. (Adults can still have their own separate shop.)

 

What shops can we open?

~Shops should have a specific product type, theme, or service. No catch-all, or “everything” shops.

~Shops selling the same types of products or services are allowed. However, we suggest not building too close to a competing shop.

 

Suggested plots are laid out.

Suggested plots are laid out.

Where do I start?

~The pre-made plots have a border of jack-o-lanterns that show a suggested size. Your shop doesn’t have to be that size or shape, but be mindful of the neighboring plots that you don’t crowd them, or block them from the paths & roads.

~There is no height or depth limit, however if you dig out a basement for your shop, please stay under your own build/shop area so there aren’t conflicts of neighboring shops’ basements. If you build tall, please do not build over the top of other shops/spaces without the owner’s or admin’s permission.

~Do not go mining under the Market.

~Please always have your shop area labeled with your IGN & real name so people know who to tag in the group regarding questions or orders. Kids’ shops should have the kids’ IGN, the adult sponsor’s IGN, & the adult sponsor’s real name for tagging (kids don’t need to provide real names).

~If for any reason you will not be able to run your shop for a period of time, please have a sign on the outside of your shop, letting others know you will not be filling orders.

Market Location Info:

Outer market wall

Outer market wall

 

~The Market is surrounded by a wall, 250 blocks from the center.
–  Do not build against the wall. Please leave some space and do not place any blocks directly against the wall.
–  Do not go past the wall for building or exploration. We chose a location away from most builds so that we have the option of expanding our market area if we ever need to in the future. (The Community Town is now adjacent to the Market, on the North side.)

Village Mascot

Blocked off in his own little cheering section.

 

 

~There is a village in the East side of the Market. We have every villager type available for trade. Please respect the area & be careful to close gates behind you so zombies do not gain access to the villagers.
–  There is a little village mascot blocked in next to one of the houses. Please do not disturb as he ‘fan-girls’ his villager buddies. 😉

 

 

General info:

A few other details to know about when setting up shop in the Market:

~No big redstone contraptions in the Market (auto-farms, auto-potions, etc).
Simple Redstone powered doors & lighting are okay.

~No Lava or Fire. Our forested market, and your neighboring shops, will thank you for not setting things on fire. 😉

~No Nether Portals. They would all link together & then you’d have the potential of everyone popping into your shop’s storage room.

~If you plan on selling animals or animal products of any kind, you cannot keep your animals at the market. Animal farms are best setup at homes, especially with how far out this Market is from the majority of builds on this server. Do not setup any animal pens in the market.

~Vault Access: You will be allowed a CB setup from your shop to your home or vault (& back). Each player is only allowed 1 CB setup in the market, even if you run multiple shops.

~If you plan on using the Honor System, any stock taken without payment will not be replaced by the admins.

~Pricing is up to you, but keep in mind that most players run their pricing as some sort of “fair trade”. Competing shops are allowed, to help keep the pricing reasonable.

~The Market is not 100% lit up to prevent mobs. Be careful & light up your build as you work (remember the roof).

 

Finally, have fun!
Get creative, have fun designing & planning out your shop!
The CB to the Market is in the basement of the Command Tower.
