Feature request: Add setup GUI for configuring EzShops
Summary
Add an in-game setup GUI that helps server owners configure EzShops based on their server type and the shop features they want to enable.
The goal is to make the first setup easier, especially for server owners who do not want to manually edit multiple configuration files before using the plugin.
Problem
EzShops has multiple possible use cases, such as server shops, player shops, and economy-focused gameplay. However, different server types need different defaults.
For example:
- SMP servers usually want simple shops and player shops.
- Prison servers often need stronger economy/shop progression.
- Some servers only want admin/server shops.
- Some servers want player marketplaces or more advanced shop systems.
Right now, setup requires the user to understand the available features and configure them manually.
Proposed solution
Add a setup GUI that can be opened with a command, for example:
/ezshops setup
The GUI should guide the server owner through a basic setup flow.
Setup flow
1. Choose game mode
The first screen should ask what type of server EzShops is being configured for.
Possible options:
- SMP
- Prison
- Factions
- Skyblock
- Survival
- Custom / Advanced
Each game mode can apply different recommended defaults.
Example:
- SMP: enable normal shops and player shops
- Prison: enable stronger economy-focused shop defaults
- Factions: optionally enable team/faction-related shop behavior later
- Custom: let the user manually select everything
2. Choose main features
The second screen should allow the owner to choose which major EzShops features should be enabled.
Possible feature toggles:
- Server Shops
- Player Shops
- Admin Shops
- Buy/Sell Shops
- Quick Sell
- Dynamic Pricing
- Daily Specials
- Sign Shops
- Marketplace / Player Marketplace
- Stock Market
- Team/Faction Shop Bonuses, if supported
Each option should clearly show whether it is enabled or disabled.
3. Apply recommended defaults
After choosing the game mode and features, EzShops should generate or update the relevant configuration values.
The setup should:
- Enable selected features
- Disable unselected features
- Apply sane defaults based on the selected game mode
- Avoid overwriting existing configuration without warning
- Show a confirmation screen before saving
4. Confirmation screen
Before applying changes, show a final overview:
Game mode: SMP
Enabled features:
- Server Shops
- Player Shops
- Quick Sell
Disabled features:
- Stock Market
- Daily Specials
- Team Bonuses
Buttons:
- Confirm & Save
- Go Back
- Cancel

Notes
This would make EzShops easier to install for new users and would reduce configuration mistakes. It also makes the plugin feel more polished and beginner-friendly.
