Shipping Bin
by garflemn
Shipping Bin is a Forge block for selling items for currency, inspired by the shipping bin in Stardew Valley, and it runs on client and server.
What it does
A placed bin accepts items from the player and turns them into currency once night falls at midnight, so goods put inside are sold without any further action. The bin's inventory works like an Ender Chest, giving each player a private, secure store. The trades a bin offers are set by default to be balanced around villager trades, and a datapack can change them.
The mod is aimed at server owners, modpack makers and anyone who wants a simple way to turn farming into profit. Its trades can be adjusted for other mods, including through a datapack with examples, and it includes integration with Quality Food and REI. Client and server both need it, so players and the server must each have the mod installed.
Shipping Bin is published for Forge only, with files for 1.20 – 1.20.6 and 1.1 for 1.20.6 as the latest release. The code is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Automatic midnight sales
Items left inside the bin are sold automatically at midnight, paying out currency with no interaction needed.
Secure per-player storage
The bin's inventory behaves like an Ender Chest, so each player keeps a private store that others cannot open.
Datapack trade setup
Trades are defined in a datapack, and a bundled example shows how to change or extend them.
Four player attributes
The mod adds four player attributes, including a general Sell Multiplier and multipliers for crops, meat and gems, which raise selling income.
