Fabric Trade
by BorisShoes
Fabric Trade gives players a way to exchange items with each other on a server, using a trade window opened by a player-to-player request.
What it does
A player opens a trade window with another player by sending a request. The other player can accept or deny it, and the initiator can cancel an outgoing request before it is answered. Requests expire after a configurable number of seconds, and trades are placed in a GUI where both sides exchange items. Trades are meant to be carried out safely between players, with the exchange handled on the server.
Server owners control the timing rules: how long a player must wait before trading with the same partner again, how long a request stays open, and whether only the initiator or both participants must wait out the cooldown. The server console can also log successful command executions. Fabric Trade depends on Fabric API and needs nothing on the client. It is open source under the Open Software License 3.0, and its source code, issue tracker and wiki are public. Builds exist for 1.21 – 26.3 on Fabric.
Key features
Player trade window
Opens a GUI where two players select items to exchange with each other.
Trade requests
A player sends a request to a chosen player, who can accept or deny it, and the sender can cancel it.
Request expiry
Pending trade requests expire after a set number of seconds, so stale offers do not stay open.
Trade cooldowns
Server owners set how long a pair of players must wait before trading again, and whether the cooldown applies to the initiator only or to both sides.
Command logging
Successful command executions can be written to the server console for later checking.
