PPLShop

PPLShop is a client-side Fabric mod that scans in-world shop signs and builds a searchable GUI with detected items and prices.

It is designed for sign-based player shops on large survival servers, where manually checking every sign is slow and inconvenient. The mod was created for PepeLand.

What the mod does

PPLShop scans shop signs in loaded areas and tries to detect:

• the item being sold
• the price
• the shop entry shown in the GUI

Detected entries are collected into a single interface, so you can browse shops much faster than walking through every row manually.

Features

• Searchable GUI for detected shop entries
• Item detection even when the sign text is not an exact item name
• Price parsing and color-based price highlighting
• Recognized and unresolved entries are separated
• Client-side usage with no server-side plugin required
• Designed for large sign shop areas
• Manual and cached refresh workflow for updating detected signs

Item detection

The mod does not rely only on exact vanilla item names.

It can also recognize many entries from:

• partial names
• simplified names
• common wording used on signs
• non-exact text patterns used by players

This makes browsing large player-made shop areas much more practical, especially when sign text is inconsistent.

Important note about scanning

PPLShop can only scan signs that are available on the client.

If your render distance is low, chunks are not loaded, or the shop area is only partially visible to the client, some signs may not be scanned correctly.

If the detected list looks too small or incomplete:

• move around the shop area
• load more chunks
• refresh sign data again after the area is loaded

Performance note

Refreshing shop data may cause temporary lag on very large shop areas, especially on weaker devices or when many signs need to be reprocessed at once.

Notes

• This is a client-side utility mod
• It depends on loaded signs visible to the client
• Detection quality depends on the sign format used on the server
• Some unusual, decorative, or ambiguous signs may still remain unresolved
• This mod is intended to help browse shop signs, not to replace server-side shop systems
