Market District
How to participate in StoneHavenSMP’s Market District and player-driven economy.

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
- Look around spawn in the Market District when you first join.
- Choose an open spot that fits the district’s layout and flow.
- Stock shops clearly with prices and item names.
- 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.
