Installation

1. Download the jar

Download the latest ezauction-*.jar from the Releases page.

2. Install the plugin

Copy the jar into your server’s plugins/ directory:

plugins/
└── ezauction-2.2.0-shaded.jar

3. Generate default configuration

Start the server once. EzAuction will create:

plugins/EzAuction/
├── auction.yml
├── auction-storage.yml
├── auction-values.yml
├── discord.yml
├── orders-only.yml
└── messages/
    ├── messages_en.yml
    ├── gui-messages_en.yml
    ├── menu-interactions_en.yml
    └── menu-layout_en.yml

4. Configure storage

Edit auction-storage.yml. For most servers the default YAML backend works out of the box. To use MySQL:

backend: mysql
mysql:
  host: localhost
  port: 3306
  database: ezauction
  user: root
  password: changeme

See Storage Configuration for all options.

5. Restart and verify

Restart the server (a full restart is required after changing the storage backend).
Check startup logs for any errors.
Open /auction in-game to confirm the GUI loads.
