Sounds fun. Although money doesn't really make much sense in minecraft. Nobody is going to pay 5 gold ingots for anything made out of leather. I suggest using the barter system if you actually expect people to buy from things from the store.

its in single player, so who cares? so one will touch a thing its just for me to feel proud :biggrin.gif:
wait a sec, 10 gold ingots for something you only need five to make?
This actually relates to the real world... everything is very cheap to make but by supply in demand it can become expensive. SO IF I WANT A DAMN GOLD HAT IMA PAY 10 GOLD FOR THAT THING.
Ha but really you probly didnt try that but very good example. :tongue.gif:
This probably wouldn't work so well in practice due to how the day/night cycle relates to playing time, but perhaps you could have the mall lock up at night. so you couldn't use the stores (but perhaps could travel the hallways)?
Another thing is to perhaps use villagers as store employees, though you'd probably want to figure out a way to confine them to whatever store they worked in. Perhaps would just have to wall them off behind the counter so they can't actually reach the front door, or perhaps there's some sort of carpet-over-deep-hole trick one could use where the villager would not see the carpet but would still see the hole and thus wouldn't try leaving I guess failing those, you could use a pressure-plate setup to simultaneously open the door and close a pair of trapdoors so players could walk across freely.
Malls don't just have stores or other attractions for the consumers, though. May want to think about adding infrastructure stuff as well: a hidden utilities room for running electrical/piping work, a loading dock/warehouse area, an information desk, perhaps a cart/stroller storage area, mallcop HQ, employees-only area (secretaries and executive offices, employee lounge, etc), firstaid stations, and possibly some public restrooms. While minecraft doesn't really do such things well, I've never seen a mall that didn't have a directory display near the doors so customers could figure out where to go.
Malls generally do not allow plain space to exist. If you have multiple levels in your mall, consider building water features, gardens, or small gathering places (for art fairs, conventions, etc) in the middle of the halls between the skybridges connecting each side of the walkways above to help fill in those areas. Upper floors could have sculpturework suspended from the ceilings, or perhaps some bannerwork hanging off the rails, but depending on the overall scale of your build existing banners might just be too tiny.
Many malls are always remodelling something, or adding on new parking/building structures. Perhaps include areas off to the side of the mall that are roped off from the public for safety. Could also dedicate some of your empty stores to this effort by building a temporary wall with a door and some indication of what's coming (stores sometimes change spots, sometimes new stores come to the mall, and sometimes existing stores just want to update their look).
It you really want to take things over the top, some malls even offer apartment housing or even have places for services not typically found in malls (courthouse, for example).
Malls are all about getting consumers to spend their money there. Sometimes they need more money, and they are more likely to spend it if they got it onsite. Perhaps have ATMs or similar dispenser stations placed in the more out-of-the-way areas.

I have to finish the world first then put it in the server, so the server still has its other world.
