The Market District — StoneHavenSMP’s spawn hub, shops, and shared commercial center.

The Market District is StoneHavenSMP’s shared commercial hub — and where new players spawn when they join. Players build shops, trade goods, and create a living economy together.

What you’ll find

  • Player spawn / first landing point for new members
  • Player-run shops
  • Community gathering space near the Market District Waystone
  • Ongoing builds that evolve with the season and player interests

Choosing a shop location

There is no fixed plot or stall system. You can build a shop anywhere that is not already taken by another player and is not reserved for a planned staff or community build.

When you pick a spot:

  • Look at how the Market District is already developing
  • Try to keep the area feeling organized and easy to walk through
  • Leave room for paths, neighbors, and future shops
  • Stay creative — unique shop designs are welcome as long as they respect the district’s flow

If a location looks marked, scaffolded, or clearly reserved, ask in Discord or contact staff before building there.

Participating

  1. Look around spawn in the Market District when you first join.
  2. Choose an open spot that fits the district’s layout and flow.
  3. Stock shops clearly with prices and item names.
  4. Keep pathways open and avoid obstructing neighbors.

Expectations

  • No theft from shops beyond intended purchases.
  • No griefing or sabotage of other shops.
  • Keep farms and entity-heavy machinery out of the busiest walkways when possible.
  • Ask staff if ownership of a shop or build space is unclear.
