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!

Hey Acrobot, ;) Matt Baxter has replied to your Bukkit issue, / bug. About the stacking of potions etc. Can you please take a look and reply to him why this is a bug, I think the bukkit team doesn't get it :)

Posted Jul 24, 2012@aphilosopher Thanks for checking that. Unfortunately, I can't include shop coords, because I do not make that error message - it is shown when something fails. I will fix it though, thanks.

We had the same problem in our server a few weeks ago.
1. Check your chestshop config 2. Check (or set) your WG region chestshop flag
Should do the trick

i have found the cause of this error
http://pastie.org/4309027
a player was trying to type 373:16392 as item id to sell a splash potion, but the player accidetnaly mistyped a 4 making it 373:164392 causing that error u see in that pastie which is enough to crash the server, it was very hard to track down this error, perhaps in future you can include coords of the shop causing an error in the log? cause what i get is a bunch of uknown source as u can see by that pastie, makes it difficult to track down the causes

Posted Jul 23, 2012For some reason, Players cant buy and or sell, and no notification even pops up, it's in a worldguard region, and when I make the shop it says "Shop created successfully" And I can't figure out why it won't work :(

Protection for the shops doesn't work when you have:
-----------------
Simpsda
1
b 10
diamonds
-----------------
It does work when you have a capital "B" though.
I'm using version 3.46 with latest RB. Protection for chests is set to lockette.

Posted Jul 22, 2012@TE5LA This is a "partial transactions" feature. You can turn it off in the config.
@simpsda Hmm, I'll look into it, but doesn't it make B capital automatically?
@joannou1 Yeah, MySQL might lag here, because it isn't threaded in iConomy :/ Is it a local or remote DB? @aphilosopher Well, it seems like someone just put a big durability, but put it on the ticket list, please.

Posted Jul 21, 2012I've noticed that, even though there is a quantity, you can still buy or sell less than the stack. Why is this, or at least can you make that optional?
For instance, if the stack is 64, I can still sell 10 items or buy less if that's all I can afford. There probably should be an option to adhere only to full stack transactions.

try making shop1 region /rg setpriority shop1 1
then after doing that if still needed then give the chestshop allow to shop1,
only a hunch but could be a confliction of region within a region same priority conflicting flags

Posted Jul 21, 2012@LaserCucumber That's how Bukkit team named it.
@joannou1 Well, ChestShop is REALLY optimized, but I guess that the economy plugin you're using is not. Which economy plugin are you running and what DB do you use it with?

Hey, I love ChestShops, but it seems to be the most intensive plugin on my server.. It's nearly 3 times more demanding than Towny, I do not know why. But when I take it off, my ticks go up 3-4. I have about 170 players on at the time of this writing.
Here's the timings.txt for ChestShops. Maybe this can help you optimize it for large servers!

Posted Jul 20, 2012@Gizmoholm Sorry, but the "EXPERIMENTAL" tag really says what it is - I can't do anything about it unless WorldGuard team exposes some kind of API for flags.

well first i did "/region flag global chestshop deny" so people wont be able to build anywhere else then where i put allow so then i do "/region flag shop1 chestshop allow" from shop1 to shop 60
Then everytime i restart my server , it wipes out ALL the flags for the shops
