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

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 10, 2012To everyone - I'm not replying to questions in the "comments" section, sorry - if you've got a bug, first search, and if you haven't found anything, post a new ticket in the tickets section. Also, I'm on holidays right now, so sorry if I don't respond.
@xLoGiiKzZo ...read the FAQ?
@xLoGiiKzZo That's actually what you should do. This won't "fuck up" the plugin.

@mikeg3095
wow sry for all the spam, but i found a way to fix it. Change the creation fee to: 99999999 in the config, and just give the people you want to be able to create chest shops the "ChestShop.nofee" permission node which lets them skip the fee

I found the problem Open up the ChestShop.jar with WinRar, then open the plugin.yml with Notepad Then edit this: ChestShop.shop.*: description: Gives access to all user ChestShop permissions children: ChestShop.shop.create: true ChestShop.shop.buy: true ChestShop.shop.sell: true default: true
to this: ChestShop.shop.*: description: Gives access to all user ChestShop permissions children: ChestShop.shop.create: true ChestShop.shop.buy: true ChestShop.shop.sell: true default: false

Indeed this would be a very nice feature to specify what items a specific rank can have in shops.

Posted Jul 9, 2012Hi Acrobot, I have a request for additional elements to ChestShops.
On our server we have different donator ranks. the higher rank(s) are able to spawn items (amongst other perks). It would be nice to be able to have these ranks still have the ability to own shops but not allow them to sell items they have spawned. At the moment item spawning ranks wont be allowed by the admins to have shops at all. As policing it would be too time consuming if many players were to go against the rules of not selling spawned items.
So is it possible to have something in chestshops so admin/owner can decide what items can or cant be sold by rank.
Thanks in advance :)

It uses Vault and works with all major economy plugins that are supported by Vault. ;)

Posted Jul 8, 2012@Firestar912 Well, I rely on Register and Vault. Since Register is dead, just talk to Vault developers, and they will include your plugin in Vault - ChestShop then will be able to use your plugin :)

Posted Jul 6, 2012@SeanLad It will lag too. It uses the same economy plugin, and the economy plugin is the culprit here.
