Merchant Port

Discord support: https://discord.gg/6cmUR94bhA

MerchantShip brings sea trade to the coasts of Hytale. Merchant ports appear on palm beaches, trader ships sail in, dock at the pier, put up a market tent and trade with you, then sail away again. And now the harbour can be yours: claim an abandoned port, rebuild it, send your own ship on voyages, hire guards and trade with other players. Server-side only, no client mod needed.

• Merchant ports — coastal ports with two berths; ships of four traders (ores, explosives, leather, potions) come and go, each with its own market tent.
• Your own port — abandoned harbours appear on free coasts; place a Port Charter to claim one, talk to your captain and rebuild the port.
• Where to find an abandoned port — on palm-tree coasts by the open sea: the beaches and shores of Zone 2 and tropical islands. Never by lakes, rivers or swamps, and not in Zone 4. They appear within about 1200 blocks of players (a new search every 5 minutes), at least 384 blocks away from any other port, up to 2 per world by default. Look for a ruined harbour; it is marked on the world map as Abandoned Port.
• Your own ship — fill its hold, set what it sells and buys, and send it on voyages to other ports; it comes back with a report of what it earned.
• Trade between players — visit other players' ports, buy from their ships, and use the notice board for offers, trade orders and a port ranking.
• Grow your harbour — four port levels, a bigger hold and safe, warehouses and a flagship.
• Guards and alliances — a Guard Post with sword and bow guards you equip yourself; allied ports are welcome on your land, strangers are warned and chased off.
• Members — invite friends and give each of them their own rights: build, trade or take from the safe.
• Step-by-step guide — a small on-screen guide and a golden arrow lead a new port owner through the first steps.
• Protected and fair — ports, ships and claims are protected from griefing and explosions, every trade is all-or-nothing.
• Built for servers — light once-per-second updates, limits for everything and an admin panel with every setting.
• Works with — StructureV2, DungeonBosses, Aetherhaven and MoreBandits (all optional).
