    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    Main Server
    Short title for your suggestion:
    Block Shop Price Adjustments
    What are you suggesting:
    The block shop generally dictates the highest amount you can sell items for in your own shop (i.e you will have to price it cheaper so it will sell). There are a few blocks in the block shop that I think are priced too low and as a result it's harder for player owned shops to sell them. Honestly I think the end goal of the block shop should be to act as a cap on player shop prices, not be a competitor to them.

    Here are some I think are underpriced:
    (Block --- current price per stack ---> suggested price per stack)

    • Stone --- $64 ---> $96
    • Granite --- $64 ---> $128
    • Diorite --- $64 ---> $128
    • Andesite --- $64 ---> $128
    • Cobblestone --- $64 ---> $96
    • Stone Bricks --- $32 ---> $96
    • Gravel --- $32 ---> $96
    • Red Sand --- $192 ---> $208 (currently priced at the same cost as regular sand, I think price should be bumped since it is a bit harder to find)
    • ALL colors of terracotta --- $200 ---> $320 (Colored Terracotta is currently priced at $3.13 ea, this is just barely above most player shops but cheaper than others. Suggested price would be $5.00 ea)
    • ALL colors of wool --- $200 ---> $320 (same reasoning as above)
    • ALL colors of concrete --- $200 ---> $320 (same reasoning as above)
    • ALL colors of glass --- $200 ---> $256 (If sand costs $192 per stack, and dyes are $300/stack, it would cost $37.50 worth of dye and $192 worth of sand to make 1 stack of colored glass, equaling $229.5 if you bought them separately and made your own colored glass. Price of convenience should add to the total cost, so I'd recommend $4/ea for $256/stack of colored glass)
    • ALL wood logs --- $64 ---> $128 (most player shops sell logs for $1.00 each)
    • ALL leaves --- $32 ---> $64 (most player shops sell leaves for $0.50 each)
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    Helps economy by coaxing players into buying from other players rather than server shop. Increasing the cost of certain blocks to better reflect their worth allows for more accurate selling values.

    I agree prices definitely need to go up in the Block Shop.

    I’ll let @ClarinetPhoenix handle this and make the changes.

    The prices for the blockshop that were set in 2021 are no longer a thing and have been raised.

    Best to go check it out at **/warp blockshop**; there are too many changes to simply list them all.

    Enjoy!
