Installation

Requirements

Requirement	Notes
Server software	Paper / Spigot / Purpur, 1.18.2 or newer
Java	17+ (matches your server)
Vault	Required: the economy bridge
An economy plugin	e.g. EssentialsX Economy, CMI, or anything Vault supports

Vault is a hard dependency. Without Vault and an economy plugin installed, the plugin will not enable.

Download

Grab the latest jar from any of the marketplaces:

Install

Stop the server

Shut the server down fully before adding the jar.

Drop in the jar

Move AT-ShoppingMall-<version>.jar into your plugins/ folder.

(Optional) add integrations

Install any soft-depend plugins you want to hook into.

Start the server

The first start needs internet access to fetch the database drivers (used only if you later switch to SQLite/MySQL).

Configure

Edit plugins/AT-ShoppingMall/config.yml to taste, then apply with /sm reload, no restart needed.

After the first start, the plugin folder looks like this:

config.yml

storage.yml

Optional integrations

Plugin	What it adds
QuickShop / QuickShop-Hikari	Lets tenants run chest-shops in their plot; shops are auto-removed when a plot is reset or the tenant is evicted.
DecentHolograms	Renders plot holograms as real floating text. Without it, hologram data is still stored but not displayed.
WorldGuard	Lets plot members build even when the mall sits inside a region that blocks building (e.g. a spawn region). Plot protection itself works without it.
PlaceholderAPI	Exposes plot/rank/economy placeholders for scoreboards, signs, and chat.

First steps

Once running, head to Plots to mark out and list your first plot, or open the main menu in-game with /sm.

Anonymous metrics. AT-ShoppingMall reports basic, anonymous usage stats through bStats (plugin id 31124), the same service most plugins use. It collects no personal or server-identifying data. To opt out, set enabled: false in plugins/bStats/config.yml.
