Open Trade Machine

open_trade_machine opens the ItemsAdder trade machine GUI for the target player without requiring the machine block or furniture to be placed in the world.

Use it for menu items, NPC interaction flows, custom stations, or any other action trigger that should open a specific ItemsAdder trade machine.

Requirements

The target must be a player. Non-player targets are skipped.
The referenced ItemsAdder content must have a trade_machine or block_trade_machine behaviour.

Configuration

info:
  namespace: stations

items:
  alchemy_token:
    display_name: "<green>Alchemy Station"
    events:
      interact:
        right:
          open_trade_machine:
            trade_machine: stations:alchemy_table

Options

Key	Type	Required	Description
`trade_machine`	string	yes	ItemsAdder item, block, or furniture ID that provides a trade machine GUI. Bare IDs are supported. See IDs.

With targeting

The action uses the shared action parameters. For example, this opens the GUI for the entity the player is looking at if that target is a player:

open_trade_machine:
  trade_machine: stations:alchemy_table
  target: in_sight
  target_in_sight_distance: 8

Plugin config

This action can be disabled in config.yml:

actions:
  open_trade_machine: false

The key is optional. Missing action toggle keys default to enabled.

Reload behavior

Run /iareload after editing the ItemsAdder content YAML. The referenced trade machine must already be registered by ItemsAdder.

Common mistakes

Using an ID for a normal item that does not have a trade_machine or block_trade_machine behaviour.
Running the action against target: other when the event target is not a player.
Reusing the same bare ID for multiple trade machines in different packs.
