CoreDarkAuctions

An event, not just a menu. On a schedule, players join the dark auction, watch the lots come up and place sealed bids nobody else can see until the reveal.

Features
• Scheduled events (every 120 minutes by default) with a minimum online count
• Sealed blind bidding, with optional hints
• Rarity tiers (Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary) with configurable weights; 2–4 lots per event, best saved for last
• Preview and bidding phases, bid extensions, quick bids and a maximum bid
• NPC auctioneer and an optional room players are teleported to
• Boss bar timer, automatic refunds when outbid or stopped, and a prize claim menu
• Past winners history
• Admins manage the reward vault in-game: add the held item, add commands, set weights

• Server: Paper or Leaf 1.21.11+ (or a Paper fork)
