Introduction to Bazaar

Introduction to Bazaar

Section titled “Introduction to Bazaar”

Bazaar is a complete GTS and Auction House mod for Cobblemon Fabric servers. It ships a fixed-price Pokemon marketplace, item auctions with anti-snipe and bid history, parallel AH channels, a bundled web dashboard, and Redis-backed cross-server sync.

Why Bazaar?

Section titled “Why Bazaar?”

Cobblemon servers usually need several separate systems to cover trading, auctions, browsing, analytics, and admin tooling. Bazaar packages that whole stack into one mod: GTS and AH share a collection box, analytics are built in, and the web dashboard means players can still browse the market when they are away from the game.

Core Systems at a Glance

Section titled “Core Systems at a Glance”

GTS : Fixed-price and auction-style Pokemon listings, plus buy orders.

Auction House : Item-based market with BIN listings, timed auctions, anti-snipe extensions, and bid history.

Channels : Parallel AH lanes with their own command, permission, currency, fees, GUIs, and item filters.

Collection Box : The shared inbox for purchases, payouts, refunds, and expired listing returns.

Market Statistics : Built-in history, averages, volume tracking, and pricing context across in-game GUIs and the dashboard.

Web Dashboard : A bundled React SPA served directly by Bazaar. Players link with /bazaar link, then browse, buy, bid, and claim from a browser. Bazaar currently ships 15 preset themes.

Cross-Server : Redis-backed sync with one ORCHESTRATOR and any number of PARTICIPANT nodes.

Notifications : Server-configurable message overrides, sound cues, and optional Discord webhook delivery.
