# Roulex *Animated Physical Roulettes for Your Economy* ![](https://i.imgur.com/GSG8KA0.gif) ![](https://i.imgur.com/it8U69N.gif) ![](https://i.imgur.com/inZA3Nt.gif) ![](https://i.imgur.com/aLbzCh0.gif) ## This isn't a Donat Case at spawn. It's an economy item. Every other roulette/crate plugin does the same thing: a crate sits at spawn, you buy a key, you click it, done. It's a vending machine. **Roulex is different.** Roulettes are physical items that live in the player's inventory — not a block bolted to your spawn. That one change turns a gimmick feature into an actual economy system: - Players can **trade** unopened roulettes with each other - Players can **sell** them on your market/AH plugin like any other commodity - Players can **lose them on death**, turning PvP and dungeons into real risk/reward - Rare roulettes become **sought-after items** with their own market value — not a currency sink, but a currency Set **droppable: false** on any roulette and it locks to that player instead — so you decide, per-roulette, whether it's a tradeable economy item or a personal reward. Nothing else on the market gives you that choice. ## System requirements: - Java 17+ - Server version 1.19+ - Server software: Paper, Spigot ## Key Features: - **Physical Economy Items** — Roulettes are real inventory items, not spawn-block gimmicks. Trade them, sell them, drop them on death — build an actual player-driven market around them instead of a one-and-done key system. - **Unlimited Roulettes** — Create as many roulettes as you want via separate config files, each with its own ID, appearance, and rewards. Run a free starter roulette and a rare PvP-drop roulette side by side. - **Fully Customizable GUI:** - Adjustable window size (27–54 slots). - Dedicated reel row where the seamless right-to-left spinning animation plays. - Custom informational elements (e.g., a "Possible Rewards" button) to guide and entice players. - **Flexible Animations & Dynamic Sounds** — Control total spin duration, start/end spin speeds, and how smoothly the reel brakes to a stop. Assign different sound effects, volumes, and pitches to trigger at specific percentages of the spin animation — make a cheap roulette feel instant, and a rare one feel like an event. - **Two Reward Types:** - Give an item directly. - Run a console command (grant ranks, currency, permissions). - Fully configure the drop chance (weight), display name, and lore for every single reward. - **Vault Economy Integration** — Make roulettes free or paid, with fully configurable opening costs using your server's in-game currency. Feed straight back into your existing economy instead of running a separate crate-key currency. - **Permission & Preview System:** - Restrict access to specific roulettes via permissions. - Preview mode for players without permission — the GUI opens and shows what they could win, but the start button is disabled to encourage rank upgrades. ## Why servers are switching to Roulex: - A crate at spawn is a transaction. A roulette in someone's inventory is **an asset**. - Rare roulettes appreciate in trade value organically — you don't have to manufacture scarcity, the item system does it for you. - PvP servers get a genuine reason to hunt players carrying roulettes. - Market/AH plugins instantly gain a new tradeable category with zero extra setup.
