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 Jul 16, 2012Yes, and after som time working witht he plugins etc. I got them all to work. Now the only problem is I dont know how to work witht them... Theyre in the plugins list and some of the commands are there too but I dont know how to set up permissions so that anyone can make the signs and use them to buy and sell items thorugh the usage of chests and signs. So how exactly do I set up the entire thing?

Posted Jul 16, 2012I suspect that youd ont normally talk to strangers and if your uncomfortable with it you can block me after we're done talking, but I really do genuinley need help with the setup part... I hate not being independant but I have resigned to the looming fact that I do need it sometimes... My skype is David Kaback and I'm from CT if that helps in the finding of me.

Posted Jul 6, 2012@starjlk Do /iteminfo while holding the item...
@tappestry Awesome :)
I'm probably rolling this version out as "official" one - just with some bugfixes.
@SeanLad Ehh... I get tired of people that can't read. And no, I don't know of a better shop plugin. If I knew one, I'd do my best to make ChestShop the best plugin.
@asofold Thanks for this post :)
@allix8 That's an error that happens if you're using NoCheat+/CraftBukkitPlusPlus. Post this in their thread, because that error says that a sign isn't a sign.

Because server crashes/laggs a lot when they spam the chest shop buy too many clicks per second, I figured out a way to stop it. So next update, when person tries to buy In a chest shop and right click it, can you make chestshop to ask player how much items they want. And when they type it in their chat, if player has that much money, let them buy it. But if they didnt, block him. That should reduce a lot of lag because they Are giving out items at just once. Not spamming multiple times. So if you guys like my idea, please press "like" button so author knows we all wants this feature!

So you get afraid by reading comments?
That's funny. ChestShop is just udsing economy plugins and you can disable and enable the ChestShop intern logging at your will.
Maybe the people have slow drives and should disable most file logging, ore they are using a remote database with an economy plugin that uses no caching (suicidal).

Posted Jul 5, 2012@Mildew82 ...
Really?
ChestShop can work with ANY economy plugin. If iConomy dies - well, you can use any other economy plugin.
iConomy is not my plugin. It's Nijikokun's.
@Trewyy @Keseff
Please search before you post.
"Seems like the issue is your economy plugin. Try looking in ChestShop's config and increasing the INTERACT_INTERVAL_RATE (or something like that)..."

Posted Jul 4, 2012Hey Bukkit,
ChestShop causes massive lag whenever someone buys lots of items from a store. Literally the server will hang until it has processed every transaction. Can someone suggest a way to increase ChestShop speed so it stops hanging?
Thanks.
