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!

Posted May 31, 2012@justinpw93 LEAVES?
Well, leaves change their durability when they're held in hand (because you can now place leaves and they don't despawn anymore, but their data value is different), that's why you can't sell them.
Hmm, I'll check the 17:1 though. Also, which ChestShop version?

Hmm, I just put a bunch of shops up for leaves... I can buy all of them.. but then when it goes to sell, it says I don't have enough items to sell? That could be a bug that's been overlooked or something?

well wtf. It's working now... I swear it wasn't working before...
Well, "Pine Log" just changes to "log" right away. But 17:1 works (it stays labeled as 17:1 though, where as 17:2 changes to "log:2") :/

Posted May 31, 2012@minecraftbreda Sorry, but did you even read the FAQ?
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/chestshop/pages/faq/
@justinpw93 17:1 and Pine Log both should work. What happens if you try to buy/sell?
@Patolord Yep, it is fixed in the dev build. It will be out soon.

Posted May 30, 2012I have googled several times, and looked through pages of replie so I am really sorry if this has already been answered... but how do you make an admin shop for the other logs? I try Pine Log, or whatever names there are, and I try 17:1 as the data value, and it just doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? Can somebody please help me?
Again, sorry if this has been asked before :/

@jastrick97 At the moment it's not possible, as the shops are not saved in any database.

Posted May 27, 2012could you add an editable file to edit all the admin shops? i feel that would be very handy, instead of having to break and retype all of the signs to change prices. and it would be a very nice addition -thanks very much!

Posted May 27, 2012@Maxetto Well, that's the problem - I don't support offline-mode servers. However, I'll add the feature preventing that in the next version. Still - if you like Minecraft, why not buy it?
@Akam123 Sorry, I don't understand what would this "support" do - from what I read, you can configure ChestRestock to restock your shop chest, can't you?

Posted May 27, 2012I found a critical bug in shops! If a player enter with name adminshop (or AdminShop) and create a shop (with the only sign), others player see it like an AdminShop created by Admins so he have infinite stack of whatever he want with his money setted. So if someone with name adminshop enter on my server and create a shop sign and i enter and i go in his shop i can buy a diamond block for 1.0 and sell it for 100000.0
P.S. Sorry for my bad english, i'm italian
