Auctions

Illustrations and screenshots may show Japanese labels. The text below explains the same features in English.

Auctions are for trading individual items without a fixed market price, such as enchanted books or named tools.

Enter /ah to open the auction house from anywhere.

When to use a chest shop instead

Use a shop for everyday items such as stone or food sold at a regular price.

Use an auction for one-of-a-kind items or things whose selling price is uncertain.

Auction flow: list with /ah sell and pay 5% of the starting price, minimum 10; bid or buy through /ah list; outbid bids are fully refunded; sellers receive the final price less a 10% sale fee; collect items and unsold listings from /ah vault. Listing fees are not refunded

Listing an item

  1. Hold the item you want to sell and run /ah sell, or choose 「出品する」 (List an item) from the /ah menu.
  2. Enter a starting price in chat, from 10 to 100,000 Spa Coins.
  3. Review the listing and fee, then enter 「はい」 (yes) to confirm.

The default quantity is everything in your hand, with no buyout price and a 24-hour duration.

Neither items nor money move until you enter 「はい」.

Use /ah cancel to stop during entry. Entry is canceled automatically after 120 seconds without input.

Each player can have up to 3 active listings.

Changing quantity, buyout price, or duration

At confirmation, enter 「変更」 (change). You are asked for quantity, buyout price, and duration in that order, then returned to confirmation. If you hold only 1 item, the quantity question is skipped.

This does not let you change the starting price. To change that, enter 「いいえ」 (no) to cancel and start again.

Field Rule
Quantity From 1 to the number of items in your hand
Buyout price Must exceed the starting price. Enter 0 or 「なし」 for no buyout.
Duration Enter 6, 12, 24, or 48 hours as a number

Listing announcements

New listings are announced in global game chat. Listing information, including the seller, item name, quantity, and starting price, is also sent to Discord.

Discord notifications

Notifications have anti-spam controls and sending limits, so not every listing is necessarily announced immediately. Check /ah list in game for the current listings.

Listing and bidding from Discord

Once you have verified your Minecraft account through Discord, you can trade as that linked player in the “オークション取引” channel.

Depositing items to sell

Hold the items in-game and run /ah deposit. This deposits the entire stack in your hand, so split off the quantity you want to sell first.

You can store up to five deposits for listing. Depositing does not list an item for sale. Retrieve anything you decide not to list through /ah vault in-game.

Listing a deposited item

Press “預かり品から出品”, then the item’s “出品” button. Enter whole numbers for the starting price, buyout price, and duration. Submitting the form lists the item with those settings. Use 0 if you do not want a buyout price.

The price and duration rules are the same as for in-game listings. The active-listing limit is shared, and the same fees apply.

Placing a bid

Press the listing’s “入札” button, enter a whole-number bid, and submit it. Use “全件を見る” to browse the other listings.

A bid at or above the buyout price buys the item immediately at the buyout price. You cannot bid through Discord while your loan is overdue.

Collect won items from the vault in-game.

Bidding and buying out

Open /ah list and click a listing to view its details.

Sort listings by ending soon, newest, lowest price, or highest price.

  • Choose 「入札する」 (Bid) to enter an amount in chat.
  • If a buyout price exists, choose 「即決で買う」 (Buy out) to win immediately.

The minimum bid is the starting price if there are no bids, or the current price plus the minimum increment if someone has already bid.

The minimum increment is the larger of 5% of the current price and 10 Spa Coins.

Your bid is deducted from your balance immediately.

If someone outbids you, the full amount is automatically refunded at once.

Late bids reset the time remaining to 3 minutes

A bid made with less than 3 minutes remaining resets the remaining time to 3 minutes from that bid. It does not add 3 minutes to the original end time. This can happen up to 10 times.

This prevents last-second bids, often called sniping, from ending the auction without a chance to respond.

After the auction ends

  • The winner’s items go into their vault, not onto the ground.
  • The seller receives the winning amount minus the sale fee.
  • If there were no bids, the unsold item returns to the seller’s vault.

Open the vault with /ah vault and click an item to collect it.

Make room in your inventory first. Anything you cannot collect stays in the vault.

Fees

Fee Amount When it is charged
Listing fee 5% of starting price, minimum 10 Spa Coins When you confirm the listing
Sale fee 10% of the winning price Deducted from the seller’s proceeds when the sale completes

Both fees are rounded up to the next whole Spa Coin.

For example, 5% of a starting price of 333 Spa Coins is 16.65, so the listing fee is 17 Spa Coins.

Listing fees are not refunded if an item goes unsold or you cancel the listing.

Repeatedly relisting an uncertain item at a high starting price can add up to substantial listing fees.

Canceling a listing

You can cancel a listing from 「自分の出品」 (My listings) only if it has no bids.

Once anyone has bid, you cannot cancel it.
