MossAH includes a direct trading system for exchanging items and money without dropping items on the ground.

Open trading

/trade

This opens the trade menu, where you can send requests, review incoming requests, view help, and manage blocked players.

Trade commands

CommandDescription
/trade request <player>Send a trade request.
/trade accept [player]Accept the latest request or one from a named player.
/trade deny [player]Deny the latest request or one from a named player.
/trade cancelCancel your active trade.
/trade block <player>Block trade requests from a player.
/trade unblock <player>Remove a player from your trade blocklist.

Requests expire after 30 seconds in the bundled configuration. Sending requests also has a short cooldown.

Completing a trade

  1. Send and accept a trade request.
  2. Place offered items into your side's 3×3 offer area.
  3. Add or remove a money offer using the menu buttons.
  4. Carefully inspect both sides of the trade.
  5. Both players select Ready.
  6. Both players select Confirm.
  7. The exchange completes only after both confirmations succeed.

Any item or money change resets both players to Not Ready and clears confirmations. This prevents an offer from being changed after someone approved it.

Closing the menu cancels the trade. Items are returned when a trade is cancelled. The system also cancels safely if an inventory is full or a player's balance changes before completion.

Trading safety

  • Read the other offer after every change.
  • Confirm the exact item quantity, enchantments, custom data, and money amount.
  • Never accept instructions to leave the trade menu and drop items separately.
  • Cancel immediately if the offer changes unexpectedly.
  • Block players who repeatedly send unwanted requests.
  • Direct trades remain subject to server rules; the interface cannot determine whether an agreed deal is fair.
