Trading

The trading feature we have on OneBlockMC is useful whenever you want to trade with other players. With this function you will be able to easily and safely exchange money and items directly with other players, without worrying about getting scammed.

All trades can look different, and you have the freedom to include both items and money with the trade. Meaning a trade can include only items or only money if you wish!

## How Do Trades Work?

To start off you can request a trade with another player with the **/trade <username>** command. This will send a request to the player in question, and they will have the option to accept your trade request by clicking on the chat message. It is also possible to accept a trade by typing **/trade <username>**, which can be used for bedrock players who are unable to click on the chat message.

## Navigating Within the Trade GUI

Once the trade request is accepted and after a countdown in the chat, you will enter the trade GUI. Here both players can add items or money, which will then be exchanged for the other player's items and money.

To add items, you simply place them in the empty slots in the GUI. On the left side, under your own username, is where you put in your items and money. On the right side, you can see the items and money that the other player adds to the trade.

You can add a custom amount of money to the trade by pressing the gold nugget on the left. This brings you to another page, where you fill out the desired amount of money. Once you have done this, press the paper on the right to return to the main trading page. You can see the amount of money you and the other player have put into the trade by hovering the mouse cursor over the gold nugget icons on both sides.

It is, of course, possible to stop trading at any time. To do so, simply press the E key, which corresponds to opening and closing your inventory. If you do this before the trade is complete, both players will get their items and money back. If a player cancels the trade, their side of the menu will turn gray.

Once you feel ready, have added all the items and money you want to trade, and have also looked at the other player's side, you need to confirm the trade. To do this, press on the red glass pane in the upper left corner. It will then turn green, indicating to both players that you have confirmed and are ready to proceed with the actual trade. This confirmation will be canceled if you make any changes to the items or money, to ensure that it is a safe and honest trade.

## Finalizing a Trade

Once both players participating in the trade have confirmed it, when both glass panes are green, the trade begins and a countdown starts. The countdown is shown by the glass panes separating the two sides. The trade can be canceled at any time by pressing the confirmation icon again, which will give you the option to edit the trade.

When the trade is complete, the items and money have switched sides and you can now take out the newly traded items and/or money. This is done either by dragging and dropping them into your inventory or by pressing the E key, equivalent to opening and exiting your inventory. Then the items go directly into your inventory and the money directly into your personal balance.

Additionally, there is an option to toggle trades if you wish to not receive any trade requests from other players. To toggle trades you use the **/tradetoggle** command. This function can be reversed with the same command if you want to start receiving trades again.
