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 Dec 28, 2011@JoneKone Well, the returning money doesn't work for admins, I assumed they would just give the money to themself.
And when exactly does it take too much money?

Hey, It would be awesome if u can add a dynamic sign, instead of typing the amount of itens u wanna sell, it can ask you in the chat to type the amount you wanna sell of that item, and maybe anonther sign to sell the amount on the hand!
Thank you =)

Posted Dec 25, 2011@Zacky1 Yep. That's a problem with GroupManager, either with your main plugin or your Permissions 2/3 bridge. If you don't use any outdated plugins (Which use Permissions 2/3), you can safely delete the :
EssentialsGroupBridge or GroupBridge from your plugins folder.

Posted Dec 23, 2011@Rowtag87 You know, it's kind of hard to make ChestShop 4 :P
@ObsceneNameHere Just do /iteminfo The line on sign is right - Potion:8258 is the potion of swiftness.
@deleted_7536780 Error in database, doesn't really matter. It just happens.

No world guard.. areas.. You need to select your own areas from the chestshop plugin..
WorldGuard area makings are restricted to sertain ppl (ops/admins) in most of the servers out there..
