# Shops

Buy from the floating shops around the spawn.

Shops on Androlia aren't menus you summon with a command — they're **physical spots in the world**. You'll find them around the spawn, each with an item slowly rotating and glowing above it.

## Buying something

There are three ways to open a shop, and they all do the same thing:

1. **Right-click the glass block** the shop sits on;
2. **Right-click the floating item** rotating above it;
3. **Click the sign** next to it.

A confirmation menu opens:

> Please confirm or cancel your purchase in the GUI.

| Slot     | Button                                       |
| -------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Centre   | The item on sale, with its price in the lore |
| 🟩 Left  | **Confirm Purchase**                         |
| 🟥 Right | **Cancel**                                   |

Left-click **Confirm** and the item is yours:

> **Purchase »** You bought the item for **250 $**!

If you can't afford it, nothing is taken:

> **Purchase »** You need **250 $** but only have **80 $**.

## Reading a shop sign

Shops that have a sign show you what's on offer without opening anything:

```
┌──────────────────┐
│  Diamond Sword   │   ← the item currently on sale
│  ✦ 2500.00$      │   ← its price
│                  │
└──────────────────┘
```

## Two kinds of shop

### 🔒 Permanent shops

Always sell the **same item** at the same price. What you see today is what you'll see next week. These are your reliable, always-available purchases.

### 🔄 Temporary shops

**Rotate their stock.** At regular intervals, each temporary shop randomly draws a new item from its pool — some items are common, others are rare. When the rotation happens, the whole server is told:

> **Shop »** The temporary shops have been reset!

{% hint style="warning" %}
If a temporary shop is offering something you want, **buy it now**. There is no guarantee it will come back on the next rotation, and no way to reserve it.
{% endhint %}

## Notes

* Prices are paid from your **wallet**, not from your [bank](/androlia/economy-and-progression/bank.md). Withdraw what you need first.
* Purchases are instant and final — there is no refund and no return.
* Some shops sell **custom textured items** that don't exist in vanilla Minecraft. The floating display shows you exactly what you're getting.
