- Download
SovereignTraders.jar - Drop it into your server's
plugins/folder - Install PacketEvents if you don't already have it — drop the Spigot version into
plugins/too - Make sure you have an economy plugin installed (see Economy Providers)
- Start (or restart) your server
- Done. The plugin creates its config files on first boot.
After first startup, you'll find these in plugins/SovereignTraders/:
plugins/SovereignTraders/
├── config.yml # Main settings (economy provider, etc.)
├── messages.yml # All player-facing messages
├── guis.yml # GUI layout and appearance
├── npc.yml # Vendor presets and spawned vendor data
├── catalogs/ # One .yml file per shop you create
├── quota-ledger.yml # Player quota tracking (auto-managed)
└── citizens-bridge.yml # Citizens NPC links (if Citizens is installed)
These are not required but SovereignTraders will hook into them if present:
| Plugin | What it does |
|---|---|
| Vault + economy (EssentialsX, CMI, etc.) | Default economy provider |
| GemsEconomy | Alternative economy |
| CoinsEngine | Alternative economy |
| PlayerPoints | Alternative economy |
| Citizens | Link your existing Citizens NPCs to catalogs |
SovereignTraders works on Folia servers with zero extra configuration. It detects Folia automatically and switches to the region-threaded scheduler.
