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 Aug 17, 2012I read your previous comment, there is a alternative way players can buy stacks, for example, it could be a command, like this:
/cs buy amount <number here="">
Then after its typed in, they can just right click the sign to buy the selected amount they put in

Posted Aug 17, 2012I'm just coming back, since showcasestandalone is broken. But I got some features that might be nice, shift+right clicking to buy stacks would be great!, and some items have ID's, that are different from minecraft, like Cooked Pork is actually Grilled_Pork which is annoying, since players don't know that, is their a way to leave the item line blank, so it automatically fills and detects the nearest chests of its items, then it labels it on the sign?

Some Items that are the same have there codes! Wood for example is in the 17's so for birch it is 17:2, for dark wood it's 17:1 for jungle wood its 17:3 and normal wood is 17.
Reference Link: Item ID's

Posted Aug 17, 2012@ArttuJarvinen Read the FAQ!
@goldseed I don't really know how books work, but I assume they work like maps (so with data value). If that's the case - YES, it works.
@FordRacer2007 Sneak + click is an alternative way to destroy the sign (if both left and right-clicking the sign opens the chest)
@Puppier @senne97 Sorry, but I believe you haven't given me enough information.
@xATon2x It's already fixed in the test version.

Posted Aug 17, 2012I know we're able to sell stacks by setting the amount to be sold to 64, but can't you make it so that when they SNEAK + Click, they get a stack, even if the sell amount is set to 1 or an odd number?

Posted Aug 16, 2012For some reason everyone on my server was able to create shops even if they didn't have the node. The only ones they had was chestshop.shop.buy and chestshop.shop.sell so I had to disable the plug-in, any way to fix this?

No, it shouldn't. It's an INK_SACK with a data value. Blame Bukkit team that named it like that. If you want to name it like something else, use OddItem plugin.

Posted Aug 16, 2012@minecraftgirl35 BOSEconomy. I haven't had any bug reports that used it, and it's quite popular.
@niksa92 It just means that I failed at programming and it's fixed in 3.50 TEST VERSION.
@datwerd86 This is fixed in 3.50 too.

Posted Aug 15, 2012Is it possible to have multiple accounts per player. What I mean, lets say player A has a account in city B. Now he has entered a different city and they have a bank. player A wants to open an account in city C. These 2 accounts would be indipendant of each other. Maybe also something like CDs
