Describe the feature

On the Minehut Marketplace possibly have a "Try it out" button where for Scripts/Plugins it would create a test server with the item in it for you to try out, it could have a time limit of 30 minutes for you to try everything out in before purchasing.
This feature obviously would not work for worlds and the like as players could easily just use a world downloader to take them.

How the feature is useful

It would allow consumers to try out the things before they purchase to see if they're what they actually want.

This feature could:

• spin up a test-server on our hardware and give you a temporary IP to join with, this could also just be done with a domain like test-market<someid>.minehut.gg and you could join, give yourself op, and play around.
• This could also contain a queue and "limit" so there could be ~ 500 test servers available, so if all 500 are used you're placed on the top of the queue
• After 1 hour or so the server will automatically shut down if not shut down by the user testing it out / with no players will shut down in a shorter period of time to automatically clean the queue and stop people from hogging queue slots.

Good suggestion, +1

I'm currently an onboarding market marker, and I let server owners test my scripts before buying on my own server. So I think its up to the seller, just contact them via their linked support page/discord

The whole point of the suggestion is to avoid needing the contact the server owner and also being able to have more freedom to test the Skripts, this will prove to be more useful when Plugins are released onto the Marketplace.

As a market maker, people should have an unbiased opinion on our products, People should be able to test it to make sure they like it. If a product is bad, then they can be called out, otherwise they buy it, I see no issue with it. +1

Good, don't waste your money/credits on unsatisfactory products.
I think it'll actually earn them more money because if someone really likes a product they can go looking for others and test the quality of it first before purchasing.
