Detailed description:
Improve Black Market System (Survival)

I would like to suggest a few improvements to the Black Market system on Survival.

Currently, players can sell items one by one very quickly by holding down a key (for example, the F key). This allows them to bypass the intended “sell all” feature and gain both shards and money at the same time. When multiple players do this simultaneously, it can also cause noticeable server lag and TPS drops, making the server feel very slow (for example, taking several seconds just to move items in chests).

Suggestions:
  • Add a cooldown or delay when selling items individually
  • Or limit selling to a “sell all” option only
  • Alternatively, cap how fast items can be sold per second
Additionally, it could be helpful to improve accessibility to the Black Market:
  • Add a command to open the Black Market (for example, /blackmarket)
  • Or allow access through an item in the player’s inventory, such as the clock

Reason(s):
Benefits:
  • Prevents abuse of the system
  • Reduces server lag and TPS drops
  • Improves overall server performance
  • Makes the Black Market easier and faster to access
  • Creates a fairer and more balanced economy

Example(s):
Examples:

  • If a player tries to sell items one by one, there could be a short delay (for example, 1–2 items per second) to prevent spam selling.
  • When clicking “sell all,” it would instantly sell the full inventory as intended, without giving extra shard advantages from manual selling.
  • For accessibility:
    • Players could use a command like /blackmarket to open the menu from anywhere
    • Or click the clock item in their inventory to quickly access the Black Market
  • This would make selling faster, reduce lag, and prevent players from abusing rapid selling methods.

I didn't even know this issue existed with the current bm system. However, I think the solutions proposed will not work:

Limiting the speed at which items can be exchanged would probably do more harm than good since players who hoard bm items need to sell all of it within a relatively short period of time. Thus you may get players complaining about it.

A sell all option will actually probably induce lag just as much since the server will need to calculate number of items sold and the appropriate amount of money to give to the player all at once. If multiple players are selling full inventories of items at rapid rates, it'll likely lag the server just as much if not more than the current system.

I don't think a blackmarket command or via the inventory menu is a good idea since without it, it forces players to visit the spawn area and make use of the NPC. Additionally having this limitation will passively limit how many players can sell stuff at the bm at a given moment, removing it will allow an infinite amount of players across the worlds to use the bm, inducing more lag and thus making the issue worse.
