We’re happy to announce that the 1.21 Survival Trade Hall is now open for business! We’re going a little bit different this time around, but it’s sure to still be a lot of fun.

To be a part of it you’ll need two things:

• 1x Shopkeeper Egg (1 Diamond Block)
• 1x Shop Plot (FREE)

The shopkeeper eggs can be purchased from the villager’s stand by the front gate of the Trade Hall. You’re limited to one Egg per player. While it is possible to purchase more, they won’t be able to be used, so you’re just wasting a diamond block – there’s no refunds. When you hold the egg, it will give instructions in chat what to do. Make sure you read them carefully. The shopkeeper will also be selling invisible item frames – 2 diamonds for 16.

Once you have an egg, grab a plot – just like claiming a plot in the Creative competitions, right click a sign. You will need to make sure you have the appropriate amount of diamonds in your inventory. There’s two options:

• A pre-made stall in the centre – these are smaller and perfect for those players that don’t want to build a fancy shop, but rather want to pop down a chest and a shopkeeper with minimal decoration. We ask that if you choose one of these, you only make minimal changes to the stand itself. Please do not remove it entirely! If it is changed completely, we will ask you to change it back.
  
  Note that the centre podium in the image above will be for the Dragon Slayer statue.

• Larger storefronts are also available for those that want a bit more room. The interior of these is able to be built up, however the existing structures (interior walls and roof) can be modified on request. The outside shopfront can have a sign or two added if you ask nicely too. These won’t be able to be done by you, but JohnsanGeezo can assist with this, as long as you provide the parts!
  
  Importantly, by choosing these ones, you’re agreeing you’re going to put in a bit of work into decorating it! This is not the option for a chest and shopkeeper. If we need more plots, more will be created underground.

You can only get one plot. If you are caught with more than one, it will be removed without warning or refund.

To assist with your decorative needs, the first shop is now open for business! Johnsan is able to be hired to do Custom Armour Statues for a fee. This is the same mod that Hermitcraft uses in Season 10, so there’s a lot more options when it comes to sizes! These are available for shop plots and base builds. More information is in store too.
