Please suggest any eula-friendly cosmetic perks that we can add on our servers / premium shops.
With us having to follow the eula this means pretty soon we will be unable to pay our bills unless we adapt.
So please suggest cosmetic perks which we can add in the premium shop (preferably consumable ones).

You can search for plugins here:
http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/
https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/

If you find something that you'd like to suggest to us, also post the link here.
Alternatively, if you have a new idea that could be developed by our devs, post your idea in as much detail as possible here.


I have extracted some bits from the Mojang "Let's talk Monetisation" Q&A in order to answer any questions you may have

What counts as a server? Are proxies one big server, or lots of smaller ones?
A server is something a user connects to with their client. The user is on a different server when they leave one and manually join another (in the multiplayer screen). Virtual servers and proxies make no difference; to the client it's the same server.

Can I charge access to a specific part of my server, such as a minigame or world?
No, you cannot charge for any part of a server. Only the access. Once on a server, all players must have the same gameplay privileges. You may make a different server which features "premium" areas, and charge for access to that server instead, but the benefits cannot carry between servers.

What do you mean by "hard currency" compared to "soft currency"?
Hard currency is real money or anything that can be converted into real money, including Bitcoins. Soft currency is available in-game only, and has no real-world value. The restrictions in the EULA only apply to hard currency; you may unlock things in-game with soft currency.

My server features a currency that you can earn through gameplay, but which can also be bought for hard currency. Is that OK?
Soft currencies that are earned in-game are fine, but you cannot sell in-game currency for hard currency. Hybrid/dual currency systems are not allowed.

Can I sell boosters, which provide faster gold gain, XP, or other in-game resources for hard currency?
No - boosters, item generators, and all other features that affect gameplay are not allowed.

Can users purchase something that affects the entire server, such as a temporary XP boost?
Yes, but everyone who can access the server must be able to use the feature, regardless of whether they purchased it or not.

Can I charge for access to server commands?
Yes, as long as their effects are purely cosmetic. Commands that affect gameplay, such as a command to fly, cannot be sold for hard currency.

How should servers deal with users who have already spent hard currency on features that affect gameplay?
Users may keep the perks they've paid for on the condition that the same perks are available to other players on the server (directly or purchasable using soft currency). It's up to the server host to decide how to compensate users for previous transactions.


The last point is rather important. Flymod is available in the vote shop so, soft currency, autoshop will be too so also safe, however, I cannot add god mode so that means I must and will remove god mode from anyone in the game.

ChangeSkin would be cool for some players? - This plugin allows the player to change their skin to anything by the use of command.
Colored Ender Chests - Apparently an add on to Slimefun, good way to organize Ender Chest items?
SlimeFun Ores - Instead of just crafting dust from slime fun and such, when you mine ores you get chances of the dust and such to drop essentially.
Just a few ideas that I saw, ill comment here again if I see something more!

I haven't looked into changeskin yet but #1 Colored Ender Chest -> Dupe fest waiting to happen. Also addons of Slimefun are susceptible to breaking and when that does it's almost a guaranteed dupe until we figure out and update them
Slimefun ores -> I saw that, isn't that bad for the economy ?

You should add a Fireworks pack, or a few tiers of Fireworks packs.

Not as bad as you think probably, it would only boost dust/slimefun ingots/etc. by a small percentage, right?

How would that be useful for us ? It's not a cosmetic perk

Requested
Lost islands

-Remove all Items and bundles
+1 day spawn egg of choice giveaway 0.99
+1 day 64k storage cell AE2 giveaway 4.99
1 day yellorium 64x giveaway 5.99
-Remove everything in Perms expect /me
+1 week global /mytime
+Custom preflix 19.99

Not sure if 1 day drop is allowed in EULA, just some ideas.

copied from a similar thread:
Dutbug:
Name of Item: Particle Trails
Add Remove Change: Add/Remove
Why: You can buy it in the shop but there is no actual command for it in game. Would be a great add but remove it if necessary.
Price: Currently $9.99

Arch8ic:
item (or group) of concern: Flugel Tiara
what you want changed: Unbanned and removed from Donor Shop
why you want it changed: The "Flight" that this item gives is literally 10 seconds long. The other benefits are gliding and dashing, but neither of those are worthy of keeping this item behind a paywall. In addition, it runs off of a hefty chunk of mana, making it an annoyance to have to refill every so often.
Have a fantastic day!

http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/hatsplugin/ Lost could use this plugin for  donators

http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/seeplayer-inventory/
And staff could use this

http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/chatcolor-
We could use this for something

Isn't so much cosmetic, but what if you could donate to be able to place more furniture or more advanced furniture?
Don't think it'd break EULA since you still need to get the items and craft it yourself.

Green_Giant

I can't find whatever plugin could be used for it, but i've been thinking what about mini player NPC's? Similar to how we have on Qwest and Wild West, you can donate to have an NPC of a player's skin that you choose (can you be your own, can be someone elses) and have it wherever you like? It would also be awesome if you could then have your own GUI to customise them, maybe with armour, what they have in their hand etc. I think this would be really awesome, especially since armour stands don't work.

Towelie

furniture was removed and green - what do you mean ?

Player donates for an NPC Statue. Admin+ can deliver it with a command. The command spawns an NPC that looks like a player (the player can choose what skin the NPC uses). The NPC doesn't do anything but the stand there, but the player can customise it's armour that it is wearing and what items that it has in it's hands. @Towelie have you seen any of the NPC's on qwest? It's similar to those. Perhaps have the NPC's name coloured so you know that it is an NPC rather than a player.

It looks like this. Note: This is not a player, it is an NPC from the qwest server.


Towelie

We couldn't guarantee whether they would be despawned or not

Statues could be donator items. They are used in bTeam, it's really cool. Basically, you place two blocks, use a hammer and craft it into a specific player. It could be just like head donations.

~~Well now I have a few ideas to make players look cool for sure
-Look+
+if there was a way to make the Mobs look different. like eg. there is one you can make mobs look like cute anime girls lol <3
+if there was a way to get cool aura/mist around a player like black or red or yellow we could all look like we are from dragon ball z
+ok now this would be sick. in game dance moves -Emotes to be exact. we could have different "taunts" if you will. a player could be standing there,emote, and BAM trolling a zombie or player
+heres another one for all our furry friends. a tails mod... where you can get a tail of some sort eg. twin tails,lizard tails, 9 tails...ext...
+I like the furniture idea Decocraft is always a good idea
+now how about giant players. you can pay to be larger then the other players on the server...or big head mode.hahah like the old golden-eye
+also idk if its a thing but to make it look like a player has a mount...you know like not fly but just a look of riding a dragon or bike.

++ i will try and come up with more ideas later. i need to watch ads ;)

Thing with this is that statues are a mod on bteam and as far as I am aware, not a plugin.

For survivial:
WorldGuard -> GriefPrevention

Dont know if GriefPrevention is a ''pay to win plugin'' but i think it is ''pay to get service''.

Premium shop can sell claim blocks and number of claim lands while players can earn them by playing on server per hour.

You are correct, it is the Statues Mod, and comes with the B-Team modpack. However there might be a plugin equivalent.

@Towelie - NPC's don't despawn from Clear Lag (tested on Wild West), and I think it'd be cool to have, I know I'd donate for some :P
We could also make SimpleSit a donator item. Price could be like $1.50 or something and you get the perm for /sit. It does nothing but allows you to sit, which could be fun for role playing types of stuff. You can't move while sitting, so you can't glitch through blocks. Just an idea!
Also: I know a server I used to play on had this: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/supertrails.1879/
Don't know if they still do or not, but we could make it a donator item. We could make it 2 part (like disguise). You can buy less appealing ones for $3.50 and the rest of them for $5 (with the previous purchase as well).

WorldGuard Region Effects - you can have the mod/or admin+ team do this for the payer that bought it (it gives you an effect when you enter your region.)
Exotic Garden - just sounded interesting this plug in is an add-on to Slime Fun
Portal Gun - it's a gun that creates portals. (I don't know if you can set perms for it though.)

this is all that caught my attention i'll keep looking for more stuff, but this is it for now.
I really hope this helps! :)

For all servers that have the hat mod, sell hats $3 for 4 random hats or $5 for 5 specific hats, some are hard to find and are hard to get overall, but they make 0 difference to gameplay overall so it would be perfect
