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!

Ruh-roh. That's not good. How long is a "long time"?I could volunteer? Do you give parameters for testing? Do you have a test environment set up? Do you need a release engineer? Maybe I can find someone for you???? My email is juju-bee (at) pacbell (dot) net.

Posted Jun 5, 2012@junebugjump Uhh... I honestly don't know - my tester has been offline for a long time, and he does the testing perfectly, so now I can't really focus on coding.
@Kiwz Well, I give you the sample HTML files, just look under the "files" section :P
@Sideus1 ChestShop doesn't have any /sell command.

Posted Jun 5, 2012Acrobot.... Any thoughts on when you'll roll out the fix for the smooth stone error? Our shop just completely stopped working, so we updated last night and are already getting complaints. Oy. Thanks so much!
@Nikitis: Go Yes, I know, at the moment sorry, you can't do anything. I've fixed it in a dev version.
Nikitis Jun 1, 2012 at 12:05 - 0 likes Like I'm having issue on our server where when I create an AdminShop for 98 it changes to Smooth Brick instead of Stone Smooth Brick. /iteminfo and /itemdb both show as 98 Seems chestshop isn't following this information as it should. Any ideas on how to manually correct? Thanks, I'm using 3.42 of ChestShop CraftBukkit Version git-Bukkit-1.2.5-R1.3-b2175jnks

Posted Jun 4, 2012@Yoshi910 Great idea, however - please suggest all ideas in the "tickets" section - I don't look at comments when I'm coding, so ideas like that might be forgotten.
@plumblum I'm pretty sure it's buried somewhere in the comments :P
I don't have time to explain at the moment, I'll try later.

Posted Jun 3, 2012There should be some sort of feature that prevents players from storing items in chestshop chests that they are not selling. For example, a user creates a chestshop, and sells TNT, and the user tries to put in stone, but cannot as he is selling TNT and not stone. This should be added for those servers that have shop plots, so that the staff does not have to go though all the cheats and check this their self's. A setting in the config to toggle this would be great.

Posted Jun 3, 2012In 3.4 our users get the error "you dont have permission to do that" when try to create double chests (which is blocked) .. Is this an issue with 3.4 or WorldGuard?Solved!
I solved the problem by setting the flag "chest-access" to "allow" in Worldguard's global region. Weird tho, but it seem that the problem lies within Worldguard and not ChestShop

Posted Jun 3, 2012Could you add a way of making all of the money go to the specified faction on the sign? Like a Faction support so if you write "f:FactionName" instead of your name, the money goes to your faction.

Posted Jun 1, 2012@Psytrin Yep. Do /iteminfo, it will give you the necessary ID.
