Minecraft Trade Depot

[Lcrafter]

ever heard of iconomy 6?

[X3n0nFr33k]

Or you could just open the door and take the other person's stuff...

[Arrinee]

this is stupid

[skylerroche11901]

i dont get it

explain plz

[netforce0]

why would anyone trade cobblestone?

[gbubaloo]

It would work better if the switch operated the opposite door, that way the person cannot open the door and grab their item back and if they put the wrong item in, they can simply not open the door for the other person until the proper item is there.

[Zurpsy]

or someone could just break the glass

[axcfds]

Anyone know what the texture pack is?

[matsclaes]

i think you shud use lava instead of water

[th3controller2000]

Holy crap this is going to my favorites! THIS IS GENUIS! THIS IS VERY HELPFUL WHEN TRADING! Ill just replace the Wooden door with a Iron door and put sign protection!

[Gnomeslayer778]

I guess this would be good to create a economical world where you have a banking system or say a hotel where you have to pay in order to enter... o.o

[Thunter783]

you can make it smalller by useing water going one way and another.

[ItsBagels]

so why would you play smp with people you dont trust again?

[siverblade5]

it's glass u could just break it.

[Tilyard123456]

@siverblade5 not if it had grief protect. which means even if you break it it respawns back within a second i think

[kgsolaman5000]

couldn't the second person just flip the switch without putting anything in and take the other guys stuff?

[MultiXterminator]

@kgsolaman5000 God gave you those eyes for a reason, mate...

[AustinDuncanson]

Do you honestly not trust people enough to just throw your items down and then theyll throw there items down? Making a trade depot is just a waste of time.

[zomgoodnessih8u]

OR you could throw down a block they throw down a block and you take it :D

[Freak0utDude]

How to get in: Right click the door - Daah -__-

[OrionRaw]

@Freak0utDude These are iron doors <. <

[Freak0utDude]

@OrionRaw Nope, wooden doors;)

[OrionRaw]

@Freak0utDude Well, then use iron doors! :D

[Freak0utDude]

@OrionRaw Haha, true:D

[VOTE4MElmao]

I'd just open the door..

[Qlimax63]

@VOTE4MElmao

That's why the doors you use are iron doors :D

[CN29andZZ555]

@VOTE4MElmao its an iron door, iron doors can only be opened by redstone or switches.

[kingsizemedal]

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[skeetshooter2000]

I love this idea, a great concept.

I used to do a similar one, where 2 people are locked in a room, and put all trading stuff in a chest then trade.

If someone tries to scam, I also put some people as guards right out of the door.

But, they sometimes killed me to take my stuff, so your idea is way better!

[RabbieInfestedMouse]

thats pretty cool. but what texture pack did yoiu get. that looks pretty mice. teehee

[Charizard36]

After you make that, for the fix, just make it so BOTH doors are AUTOMATICALLY open, BY DEFAULT, put a lever ONLY on the inside, so that you press the lever to shut the door, that way only you and the other person are in the trade system. Then to get out, you press the lever again. But fetching each others items would be risky.

[Charizard36]

PROOF OF CONCEPT. Some SMP servers make it so some blocks made by a certain person are ungriefable. PLUS you could use obsidian if you had enough. or bedrock, then just a small 1 square OR 2 wide glass windows to see ea others trade. Make 2 doorways in the place. One goes to 1 door 1 goes to the other. No going around. The building it's inside of is made out of obsidian/bedrock. The only flaw is if 2 or more people are in. Easy fix though. (continued in next post).

[RustDemon79]

Cant you just smash the glass?

[sonicboom454]

@RustDemon79 You CAN, but anyone who puts this in a server is probably smart enough to make it indestructible.

[tatervader502]

Does this work on singleplayer too?

:)

[zachturner666]

@tatervader502 Who the fuck are you going to trade with in single player jackass!!

[tatervader502]

@zachturner666 Calm your nipples, it's called sarcasm...

Is everyone this dense?

[KunkoFilms2]

@tatervader502 sure but who u trade with...

[FireStormEX4]

@latentsage |wats the texture pack

[WiiPownes]

Well there is a problem: You can put in nothing, then flip the switch and collect the stuff the other player gave you. Think you can solve it with wooden pressure plates and some redstone dust. Only when the stuff gets on the pressure plate the door will close. That would make the system a lot better in my point of view =D

[latentsage]

@WiiPownes The system works on the assumption that both traders are paying attention to the trade. Even if your system was implemented, which is certainly doable, it could be foiled by someone putting a single block of any kind on the pressure plate.

[ariwcharles]

@latentsage Or you can use a stone pressure plate, only activated by people.

[TheKillingducks]

@latentsage myns a bit better both players have to accept

[tomgibson605]

@WiiPownes or you could use the ban hammer

[MrFuryGuy]

the only good idea that ive seen o_o

[sim2lew]

Couldn't you just flip your switch, grab their stuff and run?

[ashleywheller]

@sim2lew i designed and buit a remake, more secure version of this, there isnt time to get their stuff and come back to flick the switch because they will allready be in your room and it will shut their side of the rooms door and open yours which means that they are still in the room and could come out your side, which isnt really ideal but they couldnt steal their stuff unless its like a whole chest full of it (mine uses chests), the only way of stealing their stuff is to have the

[ashleywheller]

@ashleywheller other person allready flicked their switch and you rapidly flick yours and hope a redstone torch burns out in the right place and not let them in to your stuff and still steal theirs.

[fatman0209]

couldn't people just swim around?

[latentsage]

@fatman0209 It's a proof of concept. You could build this entire thing indoors.

[HeavyVideoz]

Make the doors in Iron, so they will only open them with Electricity.

If they are already with Iron, then sorry i just cant understand your texture pack xD

[re4fighter]

coool

[willemvanoort]

so... you throw in your stuff first, because then i quickly close ur door and steel ur stuff for nothing? or just break the glass?

hind: make it of obsidian and one piece of glass, so that it cant be stolen:P also be sure to make the redstone somewhat safetier

[TheKillingducks]

@willemvanoort or lock the map

[deathanator63]

can u tell me the link to that awsome texture pack plz

[shuffle811]

@deathanator63 i think it was the painterly pack but a customized one search it its an awesome pack

[karlkanin224]

my goal in life is to break one of those glass bricks....

[sauntersil]

You probably want to make a 2(w) x 2 (d) x Y (L) hole next to the center walls. That way it won't matter if they break the glass.

[sauntersil]

That is awesome. Just....you probably want to make it out of obsidian.

[RaadselstukPretzel]

Thats awesome. But what happens if the glass is broken into? D:

[viva0la0life]

weres the favorite button again? ohh yah... nice job gotta make it my self :P

[mrsnubeh]

now to wait for some one to come by...

[GoodMilks1]

i didnt know you could trade.... but thats a freaking amazing idea, great job!

[CrazyKittyCat0]

That's actually pretty clever. Nice.

[iweywrt]

why does the world look different in minecraft?

[ImnonXProductions]

@iweywrt he's using a skin or texture mod. That particular one looks really bad to some of the good ones out there. you can find them on the minecraft forums/

[iweywrt]

@ImnonXProductions ah any good suggestions?

[ImnonXProductions]

@iweywrt serach around the minecraft forums for brown and bloom, It's one of my favorite texture packs.

[wimmadabimma]

@iweywrt the world looks fine in minecraft. it just looks weird in reality.

[koal1ify]

hey now that its explained i think thats a very good idea when multiplayer survival comes around

[LMDS95]

Teleporting system!

[minodragon]

What a terrible reskin! o.O

[SV67943]

@minodragon: Says you. It looks better than the original to me, and isn't that the point of a reskin? Perhaps you could link us to YOUR reskin so we can see what a good one would look like?

[SHAD0WNINJA0]

could create a floor plan to help with the wiring or an explanation vid, that would be really helpful.

[cymonsgames]

Breaking glass won't be possible once Notch gets the multiplayer so that you can mark of certian areas as yours.

[xdmeimlol]

Genius :)

[inkravenfilms]

i would just break the glass and steel everything

[Rangerfull3]

i like..

[CameraMan9258]

what is that texture pack?

[itsMEbiotch1]

good idea just 1 problem

there needs to be an unbreakable see thru block

[Dondakon]

perhaps that person will SMASH the glass?

[bunker931]

They can still cheat on you, put a single one unit instead of a stake or ... simply break the glass LOL!!!!

[IclaneKiev]

:O Can i get Those Reskins :D please

[DeadwindPass]

Lol, not bad, not bad at all :D

[alexsq2]

Can you explain what is happening in the description?

Because I have no idea.

[Gmodfan98]

@alexsq2

:S hmph ill try to explain, well you see the 1st guy puts the items he wants to trade in 1st room and closes it. the 2nd guy puts items in 2nd room and closes it. and um the other doors opens... well i dont think that helped.. hard to explain, but easy to make!

[millionaire345]

@alexsq2 the general idea is that you put the items in for trade then shut the door so you can't go take them back and then the other person puts their trade items in the other room, then the alternate doors open and each person collects their trade, saves people scamming and running away with your item

[matthijsproductions]

@millionaire345 But what if the second person just throws in nothing and then turns the switch?

[gm556]

@matthijsproductions you hit a switch again and trap them inside until they give you the goods

[fennecfanatic]

@matthijsproductions The doors don't move until you both throw the "Accept" lever, which requires you to leave the room. It's quite a clever design.

[randomness2282]

@millionaire345 they could just break the glass



[millionaire345]

@randomness2282 well then firstly, thats vandalism and im sure they would then be kicked from the server, i didnt design it i was just explaining what the hwole idea was and finally they could improve it by using cobble stone with a one block wide line of glass to be able to see when the other person has put something in the trade area
