「えこらいふ!」 (Ecolife!) guideTown Furnishings

Town Furnishings

Town Furnishings are decorations you can place for roads and town building. There are 6 kinds: traffic lights, pedestrian signals, street lamps, stop signs, guardrails, and vending machines. You can buy and place them on the living server 「えこらいふ!」 (Ecolife!).

The 6 kinds of Town Furnishings

The table shows each furnishing’s name, price, height, and behavior. The spot where you place one needs that much free height.

Name Price Height Behavior
Traffic light 300 Spa Coins 3 blocks Horizontal type. Changes automatically from green to yellow to red
Pedestrian signal 200 Spa Coins 3 blocks Flashes during the last 3 seconds of green
Street lamp 150 Spa Coins 3 blocks Turns on automatically at night and gives off light level 15. Off during the day
Stop sign 80 Spa Coins 2 blocks A red inverted-triangle sign
Guardrail 30 Spa Coins 1 block Connects when placed side by side
Vending machine 500 Spa Coins 2 blocks Right-click to buy juice. See the “Vending machines” section below for details

On Java Edition, they appear as 3D models from the server’s resource pack. On Bedrock Edition (phones, Switch, and so on), they appear as 3D models of the same shape.

Buying

You buy Town Furnishings from the 「街の小物」 (Town Furnishings) screen.

1. Open the 「街の小物」 screen

Open the admin shop with /shop and press the 「街の小物」 button.

2. Click the furnishing you want

Clicking switches to a confirmation screen.

3. Press 「購入する」 (Buy)

Press the green 「購入する」 button to confirm the purchase. To cancel, press the red 「やめる」 (Cancel) button.

You cannot buy one without enough money. You also need at least 1 empty inventory slot.

Placing

Hold a furnishing and right-click the top face of a block. The front of the furnishing faces you.

You can place them only where you are allowed to build. That means your own claims, claims where you were given building permission, and unprotected areas.

Removing

The player who placed a furnishing can sneak and left-click it (on Bedrock Edition, sneak and hit it).

The removed furnishing returns to an item and goes into your inventory. If your inventory is full, it drops at your feet.

You cannot remove furnishings placed by other players. They are not destroyed by explosions or pistons either.

How the signals work

Signals run on one clock shared across the whole server. No matter when you placed them, their timing lines up with one another.

Taking turns on green

A signal facing north-south and a signal facing east-west take turns showing green. Place them facing different ways on the two roads of an intersection, and they alternate like a real intersection.

Length of one cycle

One cycle is 46 seconds. Green lasts 20 seconds and yellow lasts 3 seconds, and the signal facing the other way stays red during that time.

Pedestrian signals

A pedestrian signal is green only while the traffic light facing the same way is green. It flashes during the last 3 seconds of green.

Vending machines

You can buy juice from a vending machine by right-clicking it. The player who placed it (the owner) restocks it and sets the price, and the money goes to the owner.

How buyers use it

Right-click a vending machine (tap it on Bedrock Edition). The 「自動販売機」 (Vending Machine) screen opens and shows the price and the stock.

Press 「購入する」 (Buy) to pay and get 1 juice. The flavor is random from 4 kinds, and you do not know it until you buy (the screen says 「何が出るかはお楽しみ」, “Surprise!”). The flavor you got is shown in chat.

If your inventory is full, the juice drops at your feet. You cannot buy when it is sold out or when you do not have enough money. You also cannot buy from a vending machine you placed yourself.

Owner management

Right-click your own vending machine without sneaking to open the 「自販機の管理」 (Vending Machine Management) screen (if you sneak and right-click, the purchase screen opens). The money from sales goes to your balance even when you are offline.

A newly placed vending machine has 0 in stock. It cannot sell anything until you restock it. On the management screen, you can do the following.

  • See the stock (up to 64), the selling price, and the total sales
  • Restock with 「1本補充」 (restock 1; cost 20 Spa Coins) or 「12本補充」 (restock 12; 200 Spa Coins). Restock 12 adds 12 bottles and cannot be used unless the stock has room for 12. The cost disappears when you pay and does not go to anyone
  • Change the price with -50 / -10 / +10 / +50. The allowed range is 10 to 500 Spa Coins, and the price when placed is 50 Spa Coins
  • Press 「購入画面を開く」 (Open purchase screen) to check the screen customers see

Stock when removed

When the owner sneaks and left-clicks to remove it, any remaining stock is returned as juice, one per unit (random flavors). The vending machine item is returned too.

Kinds of juice

There are 4 kinds of juice, and each is equally likely. Up to 16 fit in one stack. Drinking one leaves an empty bottle.

Name Hunger restored Effect
Orange juice +4 Speed I (30 seconds)
Apple juice +4 Regeneration I (10 seconds)
Grape juice +4 Jump Boost I (30 seconds)
Mixed juice +6 None

On Java Edition, they have a special look from the resource pack. On Bedrock Edition, they appear with special icons.
