The bank & upgrades

Every realm holds one bank balance. Any member can pay into it. Only the owner withdraws from it or spends it on upgrades.

Note

Everything in this guide needs Vault and an economy plugin behind it. With neither installed, every price below is off, not free — see Integrations and the FAQ.

Deposit and withdraw

/realm bank opens the bank menu, for the realm you are standing in if you are a member of it, otherwise your own. /realm bank deposit <amount> pays any amount into that bank, from any member. /realm bank withdraw <amount> takes money out of your own realm’s bank, and only the owner can do it.

The menu’s deposit and withdraw buttons move a fixed amount instead: economy.bank.step per click, ten times that on a shift-click. The command form still takes any number you like.

The upgrade ladders

/realm upgrade border and /realm upgrade members each buy one step on their own ladder, paid straight out of the realm’s bank. Both ladders share the same shape:

• cost — what the first step costs.
• rise — added to the cost for every step already bought, so the tenth step costs more than the first. 0 keeps every step the same price.
• step — how much border (in blocks) or how many member seats one purchase adds. 0 turns that upgrade off entirely — see below.

The price of the next step is cost + rise × steps already bought.

The ceiling

A permission node is always the ceiling a ladder climbs toward — atlasrealms.realm.size.<n> for the border, atlasrealms.member.size.<n> for members. See Permissions for how the numbered nodes are read.

• With the matching step at 0 (the default for both ladders), there is nothing to buy: the permission node sets the value outright the moment the owner enters the realm.
• With step above 0, the node becomes a ceiling the owner has to buy up to, one step at a time. /realm upgrade border refuses once the next step would pass it.

Note

Under the grid world layout, the border can never grow past realm.grid.spacing either, whatever permission node the owner holds.

When there is no economy

Without Vault and an economy plugin, the bank button does not appear in the main menu, /realm bank answers that the bank is unavailable, and both upgrade ladders cannot be bought — the size permission nodes fall back to setting the border and member limit outright, exactly as if step were 0.
