🏪 Setting Up Admin Stores at Spawn

**Last Updated:** October 15, 2025

**Author:** MonkeyCraft Admin Team

**Applies to:** MonkeyCraft NeoForge 1.21.1 (using MEconomy)

---

##

📘 Overview

Admin stores allow the server to buy and sell items to players using the in-game economy. These stores are linked to an infinite wallet so they never run out of money or stock.

They’re perfect for:
-

  • Selling starter supplies and tools
    -
  • Buying excess materials from players
    -
  • Providing MineColonies blueprints or key items

    • ---

##

⚙️ Requirements
-

  • MEconomy mod (installed on MonkeyCraft)
    -
  • Admin or operator permissions
    -
  • Shop block (`/give @p meconomy:shop_block`shop_block)

    • ---

##

🪙 Step 1 – Enable Admin Mode
```bash

/meco admin
```

You should see: “Admin mode enabled.”

---

##

💼 Step 2 – Create an Admin Wallet
```bash

/meco wallet create adminstore

/meco wallet setbalance adminstore 999999999

/meco wallet infinite adminstore true
```

This wallet will never run out of balance.

  • Check for typos in item IDs.
    -
  • Use `/meco shop remove <index>` to delete an invalid entry.
    -
  • Re-add with the correct ID.
