Running Your Shop

A tenant's walkthrough: rent a plot, stock a chest-shop, add a hologram and a warp, keep the rent paid, and what happens if you leave.

This is the player's side of the mall: how to go from an empty plot to a running shop that other players can find and buy from. Every step here is something a tenant does, no admin needed.

Most of this is also clickable from the menus. Open /sm and pick Browse Plots to start, or My Plots to manage one you already have. See In-Game Menus.

The journey

Rent or buy a plot

Open /sm → Browse Plots, click a plot, and choose Rent or Buy. Renting charges you each cycle; buying is a one-time purchase. See Rent & Eviction for how billing works.

Set your entrance

Stand where you want visitors to arrive and run /sm setentrance. This is the spot players land on when they teleport or use your warp.

If the server runs QuickShop, place a chest inside your plot and set it up as a shop the normal QuickShop way. Shops only work inside a plot you have access to. Full details on the QuickShop integration page.

Add a hologram sign

Run /sm hologram while standing in your plot to float a sign of text above it (a shop name, prices, opening hours). How many lines you get depends on your rank.

Advertise with a warp

From the plot detail menu, set a Shop Warp so other players can jump straight to your shop with /sm pwarp <name>. See Player warps.

Add helpers

Want a co-owner or staff? /sm members add <player> lets them build and manage the plot with you. Remove them with /sm members remove <player>.

Keeping your plot

Rent is charged automatically each cycle. If you fall behind, late fees stack up and you can eventually be auto-evicted. Turn on /sm autorenew on so rent is paid from your balance without you thinking about it, and check /sm balance or /sm renthistory any time. The full money story is on Rent & Eviction.

If you leave or get evicted

When you leave a plot, or an admin evicts you, the plot is cleared for the next tenant:

Your chest-shops are removed automatically so no ghost shops linger.
Items left in chests and blocks you placed are held for you to reclaim with /sm claim-evicted. See Item recovery.
Your shop warp is removed (unless the owner keeps it for the next tenant via leasing.clear-warp-on-tenant-leave).

Own a plot and want to rent it out to someone else instead of running it yourself? That is the Leasing flow.
