Orders

Orders is the player-run job board on Prison. You post an order for an item, a quantity and a price per item. Other players fill it from their own inventory and are paid at once, out of the payment you put in escrow when you posted it.

Orders are not a profession or a fixed-pay job system. Every order and every price comes from a player. The in-game guide lists filling player orders as step 4 of getting started.

Overview#

• Post an order with /orders create, or click the Orders book at the top of either order menu.
• There is no fee or tax on posting, filling or refunds.
• An order can be filled in parts by several players. You cannot fill an order you posted yourself.

Filling an order#

1. Run /orders. The Orders board lists every open order, newest first, across several pages. Use the arrows at the bottom to change page.
2. Each entry shows the item, the quantity, the price per item and the order total, who requested it, how much is already filled, and how long ago it was posted. Click an order to open it.
3. The Filling Order menu shows the requested item with its amount and price per item, between two buttons:

4. The menu closes and you are paid immediately. You see Filled Nx items.

Items come from your main inventory and hotbar. Armor and offhand slots are not used. An item only counts if it is the same item the order asks for.

Payment#

You receive the order's price per item multiplied by the number of items you handed over, in the order's currency. The money is already held in escrow, so there is nothing to wait for and nothing to collect. No fee or tax is taken from the payment.

Filling messages#

If you ask for more than the order still needs, only the missing amount is taken. The Amount prompt only accepts whole numbers above 0. If you cancel the prompt or enter anything else, you return to the order menu and nothing is sold.

Posting an order#

Run /orders create. The flow has four steps.

Step 1: select the item#

The Select Item menu lists the items you can request on pages, arranged roughly by type and then by name. Click the Search name tag to filter by item name. Click an item to choose it. Items that cannot be obtained in the game are not listed.

Step 2: enter the quantity#

A prompt titled Enter quantity asks for the quantity. It must be a whole number above 0. Cancelling, or entering anything else, closes the menu.

Step 3: choose the currency and price#

The Select Currency menu offers two buttons.

After you pick one, a prompt titled Enter amount asks for the price per item. If you cancel, or enter an amount that cannot be read, the menu closes.

A price of 0 is accepted and creates an order that pays nothing. A price below 0 is refused when you confirm.

Step 4: confirm#

The Confirm order menu shows the three buttons below. The total is the quantity multiplied by the price per item.

When you confirm, the whole total is taken from your balance immediately and held in escrow. You see Order created.

Posting messages#

Your orders#

Open /orders and click the Your Orders nether star at the bottom. Your Orders also has the Orders book at the top for posting another order. It lists each order you posted that still has something to do, with:

• the item, the quantity and the filled amount (for example 40/64)
• the price per item and the total
• whether the order is Active (still open) or Inactive (completely filled or deactivated)
• how long ago it was posted

Click an order to open its order menu, which has three buttons.

Redeeming items#

The items other players hand over are not delivered to you automatically. You collect them with Redeem Items in the order's menu.

• Left-click redeems up to one stack of the item. Anything that does not fit in your inventory goes to your overflow backpack.
• Right-click redeems as many items as fit in your inventory. If there is no room at all, you see Inventory full and nothing is redeemed.

You see Redeemed Nx items. You can only redeem items that have actually been filled and not yet redeemed, so redeeming does nothing while no items are waiting.

Fill history#

Fill History lists each fill of the order, oldest first, with the quantity, the seller, the price paid for that fill and how long ago it happened.

Deactivating an order#

Deactivate an order to take it off the board before it is filled.

• The refund is the price per item multiplied by the unfilled quantity, in the order's currency.
• Items that other players already handed over stay redeemable.
• A partly filled order becomes Inactive and stays in Your Orders until you have redeemed everything. An order with nothing left to redeem disappears.
• There is no confirmation prompt: one click deactivates the order.

Limits and rules#

Differences from other modes#

Orders work the same way on every mode that has them, with the same command, default limit and escrow rules.

Only the look of some menu buttons differs: Skyblock uses its own button icons and Survival its own colours.

Tips#

• Compare an order's price with what the item sells for in the shop or on the auction house before you post it. Fillers choose the orders that pay best.
• Check Your Orders after players fill an order. Their items wait there until you redeem them.
• Deactivate an order you no longer need to get the unfilled escrow back.
