Trading
Trading is an activity in which two players can exchange items through a systematic method. Trading was added as a safer method than dropping for players to buy and sell items.
Trading Items
There are two ways to start a trade:
- Use one's Wrench and press the Wrench icon next to the desired player's username. A menu containing the 'Trade' button will appear. Pressing it opens the trading menu.
- Type /trade [the player's username]. The trading menu will appear.
NOTE: A player can only trade with players that are in the same world.
Sound effect
File:Cash register.wav
A sound is played when someone sends a trade request.
Additionally, when someone sends a trade request, a message will appear in the chat for that player:
TRADE ALERT: username wants to trade with you! To start, use the Wrench on that person's wrench icon, or type /trade username
Limitations
A maximum of 4 different stacks of items can be traded at once.
A player can only hold up to 200 of the same item, so if a trade would push them above 200, the trade cannot be completed. Hence, the players will get a warning message:
Oops - user is carrying too many item and can't fit that many in their backpack.
Similarly, a player can hold only one fish of the same type. Therefore, if a trade would give a fish, which the player already has in their inventory, the trade cannot be completed.
If a player desires to trade more than 200 of any item in a single go, the items can be dropped to a world (with proper coverage) and the World Key can be traded among the players.

The warning message when a trade involves pushing the item limit.
Trivia
- Trying to trade a negative number of items will result in the following message: "Whatever scammer. Bet you liked the game more before this cool trade system!"
