ChestShop (iConomyChestShop)
Acrobot released his first Android game, would you mind giving it a go?
ChestShop
A simple, yet very powerful system for making physical shops using signs and chests.
It's never been that easy to create shops! With features like shop protection and anti-lag protection, you won't have to worry about your server's economy anymore!
"Just works"! ChestShop supports almost all economy plugins by using Vault!
(Versions above 3.9.2 also support economy plugins using the Reserve API)
Some known compatible and incompatible economy plugins.
Please check if there are newer development builds before reporting issues!
If you are upgrading from a previous version of ChestShop please make sure to always read the warnings in the file's changelog!
The plugin by default submits anonymous stats about your server (player count, plugin/server version and type) to a public statistics websites (mcstats.org and bstats.org) in order to provide the developers with usage information. If you wish to opt out, you can do so in the PluginMetrics/config.yml and bstats/config.yml files. It also features an auto-update feature, which can be turned off in the config.

Using shops
It's easy! Just right-click the sign to buy, left-click to sell. (You can configure the buttons in the config file!)
How to create a shop
Player shop
| Place a chest on the ground | |
| Place a sign 1 block away from the chest (for example, above it) | |
| On the sign, write: | ![]() |
| Leave the first line empty. It will be automatically filled with your name by the plugin (if you have the permission ChestShop.admin then you can create shops with the names of other players) | |
| Second line is the amount of items to buy or sell | |
|
Third line is a combination of buy and sell prices. You need to have a price indicator (like 'B' - price that will apply to items BOUGHT by PLAYERS - or 'S' - the SELL price) near the price - the prices are separated by a colon (:) |
Some of the possible price combinations: "B 5:5 S", "B 5", "S free" |
|
The forth line will hold the id/name of the item. Write ? on the sign and the item will be autofilled with the one from the chest or you can click on the sign with the item afterwards. Optionally you can put the actual name on it. You can find out the name of the item you're holding by doing /iteminfo |
|
| Resulting Shop | ![]() |
| A person can buy 64 diamonds for 10 dollars and sell them back for 5 dollars from Phoenix616 |
If you want you can also take a look at this video tutorial.
Admin Shop - shop with unlimited items
Firstly, you've got to be sure that you've the ChestShop.admin permission or that you are an OP. To make an Admin Shop, simply put "Admin Shop" (configurable in config.yml) on the first line of the sign when creating the shop. Admin Shops do not require a chest!

Oh right, I know what's wrong, however it might be a bit difficult to change, but I'll still try.
I guess that the code is trying to find the text data value for item, so here it would be "brick" with "smooth stone" durability, but since "Smooth brick" exists, it adds the data value to it.
@firefly1521 Well, update ChestShop?

Posted May 12, 2012Help! We can't buy StoneBricks(itemid:98, 98:1, 98:2).
I try to buy "Smooth Brick"(98:0) at AdminShop. In fact, I get a 98:3 stonebrick.

Posted May 12, 2012Quick error I noticed. If you create an admin shop for item 98 or 98:1 it always gives 98:3. didn't try 98:2.

Posted May 12, 2012@ProjectInfinity Yep, it does - in fact, I believe it was not even broken, but to fix it even more, I changed it from static to instance variable.

Posted May 12, 2012Good to see that you got 3.41 out, but does it fix the shop interaction interval as well? I don't see it being specifically mentioned.

Posted May 11, 2012@xeNiumw0w Well, if you set it to "true", it won't let people create shops with sell price > buy price.
@xeNiumw0w The changelog is in the main plugin thread:
http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/4150/
@ToddVee Are you sure that the lamp you're selling has the same Data Value as the one on sign?
Do /iteminfo to find out.
@rickoman No, it shouldn't. You must create those one by yourself, or download the sample ones from "files" section:
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/chestshop/files/
@FuRiouSOne No, sorry, not yet - at the moment I am not using any database.
You can, however, make a plugin that stocks your shop chest once in X minutes from your storage chest.
@silentnight18 ???
What do you mean by that?
Potions always worked fine for me.

Posted May 11, 2012it seems chestshop does not properly handle redstone lamps. if a user creates a shop (id 123), the shop will tell consumers that its empty, although it is not.

Posted May 10, 2012I have downloaded v3.42 and it runs fine. However I am getting an error in the server log:
[SEVERE] [ChestShop] You lack the necessary HTML files in your plugins/ChestShop/HTML folder!
Shouldn't the plugin create this for me?

Posted May 10, 2012Any way to add it to where you can have chest in one location and sign in another and activated/linked using a tool or something? Like to set up something where players have the signs in a shop district and their chests storing the items in their homes (unprotected being a pvp server).
If this cant be done anyone know a plugin that does this? I have seen this done on other servers but not sure what plugin they use.

Posted May 10, 2012I as Admin can place shops. But no matter what I do everyone else cannot use shops. Whenever they try to create one it says "[Shop] You can't create shop here!" Server is running GroupManager, Worldguard, BOSEconomy, and Towny
With the ChestShop.* node I can create personal shops and Admin shops. Just lower ranks cannot create shops. Lower ranks do have the ChestShop.shop.create | Chestshop.shop.* | and ChestShop.shop.create.* | All 3 of these don't solve the problem.
I've set the following configs to false with no luck. USE_BUILT_IN_PROTECTION TOWNY_INTEGRATION TOWNY_SHOPS_FOR_OWNERS_ONLY WORLDGUARD_INTEGRATION WORLDGUARD_USE_FLAG
