    This is a great feature but could be improved by not displaying shops with zero transactions and ordering from cheapest to most expensive for 'owner' and vice vera for 'wanted'

    As it is, there are so many empty shops, it takes so long to use this.

    Also fix the trades remaining calculation.

    This is from a 'full' Double chest that actually has 565 trades remaining

    Small addition to this: whenever you click on a shop in the menu and are teleported, you are always facing south, no matter which way the chest is facing. It's honestly not that important, but I wanted to make it known.

    Those things cannot be fully implemented I'm afraid or at least not in a precise way. Ordering by cheapest would be possible but filtering out empty shops won't work because the system doesn't know how many remaining trades an unloaded shop can provide. The remaining trades calculation is precise it however depends on the current state of the chest and cannot predict the future meaning that it cannot predict how those trades will affect the storage container slots. In your example I assume you have a stack with 3 grass blocks and the rest is filled with copper ingot stacks. The system sees that 61 additional trades can be completed at this time because there wouldn't be enough space to store more grass.

    Ordering by cheapest would be nice, i wish it was possible to do the remaining transactions but if it’s not possible then it’s not possible. It sucks filtering through all of the chests if you happen to teleport to an empty shop to find one with similar prices

    Can you have it display the number of transactions left at the last time the shop was loaded?

    Yeah that'd be the only option which is why I mentioned that there is no precise way to achieve it, not too sure if this is a good idea though since it might result in more confusion/shop owners complaining that people cannot find their shop(s) even though they re-stocked it.

    Thats a shame. It was looking like such a good addition. Was really hoping it might remove the need for advertising.
    Still handy for things that aren’t sold by many people but over time those shops too will build up, be abandoned, and remain listed.
    Can they be ordered by most recently used. That might push empty and abandoned shops to the end of the list

    That is already the case since all shop have been transfered, even very old ones. That's said, it's very handy to find outdated shop with very good prices ;)

    Also, I haven't done some extensive testing, but I had to redo all my shops and noticed that they were always the last ones in the last page, so there may already be some sort of order, but I don't know much than that.

    Of course there is the issue with players using shops to display there rares as well.

    Maybe if the player hasn't been online in more than a year they could be filtered out on the list? Then again, that would add more strain to the server having to check the join date of every shop's owner, so that might not be an option.

    One issue with the /shops find feature is that it enables players to get into locked off casino areas by teleporting to that shop.

    Not just casino. Locked islands too.

    This may be partially fixed? I tried teleporting to a shop yesterday and was told I wasn't allowed on that island.

    Some shops are working, some aren't. I'm not sure about the reason while.

    A lot of shops on Eco didn’t update as they did on Survival.

    true but maybe eventually they can code it into the shop gui to have it enabled on shops find or disabled
