As an owner of a larger scale shop, I often find myself needing to restock, collect my grass, and find what is out of stock quite often. This becomes VERY tedious over time. I suggest some incredibly simple additions to tradeshops that could be greatly beneficial. -When within 5-10 blocks of your tradeshop, happyvillager particles should appear to indicate there is grass(or what you wanted from the buyer) and if your shop is empty or out of stock, a barrier particle should appear to indicate that this shop specifically needs to be stocked. This helps the tedious process of checking every single chest for what needs what. -When someone buys something out of stock, the message should indicate not only the coordinates, but also your trade that is out of stock. Example: [Your shop at (0,0,0) (1200 stone for '1 grass') is out of stock.] Example: [Your shop at (0,0,0) (1 diamond for '6 grass') is out of room.] This would make it easier to depict what shop it is, so you do not have to check which shop it is, as you obviously cannot remember every single coordinate. -Out of stock messages do not show if someone has triggered more than 5 within the same 10-20 seconds. (This gets real spammy if you have a lot of shops out of stock.) This could go for purchase messages, as they could stack up after 10 seconds or so. Example: [(user) bought x20 of diamonds for 6x grass] I truly hope these features get added, as I imagine they wouldn't take too much effort to accomplish. Feel free to add to my suggestions, ~Gal
-Neutral, I believe particles would cause more lag? -Full support! I've had few shops but this would be very helpful. -Support, I've have friends spam my out of stock shop. Even though I take it as a joke, it can get a bit overwhelming and makes me miss some of chat. -Support again, very useful and would reduce some spam. Support, overall. Nice suggestion, Gal!
-neutral, I can just right click each chestshop to check if it needs restocking and how and where will these particles appear -Full support, only having the coordinates in these messages makes it harder for shop owners to know what trade shop to restock -Neutral, these messages never caused spam for me and I still think they can be useful for letting you know if your shop is out of stock
The particles would appear where the display would be, just a slight indication if your shop needs to be collected.
Support, I like the particles that indicate if a trade shop has grass in it as I am more of a visual person so if I see something that would help a lot. But the text telling you if you are out of stock will be neutral for me as I think it will be covered up or just the amount of message if there were to be multiples.
support, this idea is pretty cool, although i dont have many shops it would prob help everyone on all servers
