    Minecraft Name:
    • Glimpseseer

    Suggestion:
    • I would like to propose the implementation of a Bank in which players can "deposit" items using simple commands that are similar to the current forum bank for EcoDollars.
    • This "Item Bank" if you will, should be available as an extra feature which players can purchase for $20-50USD to "offset" the amount of time I can imagine it would take to go into making a custom plugin/forum thing such as this.
    • By Making this a feature which users would have to pay for, I believe it would be an interesting "perk" to add to the current EcoCityCraft Experience

    Reason:
    • The reason behind the Item Bank is as follows: It has become increasingly annoying for myself (and I would like to assume other users) to add many items to storage signs using the Essentials Trade sign plugin. When you have lets say for example >50,000 blocks and want to place them in the sign, you have to do so in 64 block increments, which can be fairly time consuming and in my mind quite annoying. Therefore, I propose the Item Bank. The Item Bank would allow a user to for example, issue a command such as "/itmb store 50,000 stone" and have all 50,000 pieces of stone stored in a secure location for withdrawal at a later date.

    Any Other Information:
    • Maybe increase the amount of blocks that can be stored in a trade sign if easier?
    • You could also have "tiers" of this bank, where the base edition only gives say 50k storage room, + gives 75k, ++ 150k and so on, to make some more $$ lol.
    • Please comment below with your thoughts, Cheers :D
    Link To This Plugin/Is this a custom addition?:

    I love this idea, but how would a number over 2304 (not including backpacks) be possible? Also, the syntax should probably be /itmb store stone 50000 as that resembles how /give works :p

    Though honestly I would prefer it on ExtCommands++

    The price for this seems high - Who would pay $20-$50 for something they could easily do with a chest/multiple signs? If you're really annoyed by the increments of 64 blocks per click, just make multiple signs - That's what I would do, at least. If it's free, you'd be creating potentially hundreds if not thousands of user files which lag the start up and backup (Thus the file clean up policy). Seems like a lot of work for little gain to me.

    I for one would pay for it :p The price doesn't need to be in that range, was only a suggestion haha. I do acknowledge that multiple signs can be made, however with this suggestion, a person would be able to store their items while mining for example. Without having to obtain a full inventory of the item they'd like to store then creating a sign.

    Also, with the multiple user files, that was the intent behind making it a feature, to reduce the amount of files. Same goes for the current bank, with the multiple files, no?

    Yeah, and backpack has caused numerous issues of it's own which has resulted in players losing their items. When implementing this, you're potentially allowing players to lose LARGE amounts of items that they have stored. Anyway, I personally dislike the backpack feature alone and I wouldn't want another feature like it.

    Doesn't seem worth the risk/time going into developing such a thing. It's a cool idea, sure, but is it really necessary when you can use the alternatives of chests and signs?

    This is a fair point. Wasn't by any means saying that this was necessary, merely making a suggestion on something that if adopted, could be really awesome to add to the current list of features and ECC experience.

    This is a huge huge undertaking.
    Not something feasible any time in the remotely near future

    Also, Backpack is meant for people who often lose their tools.
