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 Sep 15, 2012@archlinux 0009 dev? Not possible. I swear I fixed it! Are you sure you are running 0009? What's the /csversion output?
Also, did you set the SERVER_ECONOMY_ACCOUNT in the config?
@Folas1337 It's a problem with Mineconomy. Mineconomy throws errors, I don't know why.
@strontkever Hmm... Weird, please post that in the "Tickets" section, also make sure you're running ChestShop 3.50 v0009

Posted Sep 14, 2012Getting error "Could not pass event PlayerInteractEvent to ChestShop" when right- and leftclicking on an "Admin Shop"-sign. I am using "MineConomy" and didn't change anything (so it's default). Is it because of 1.3.2-R0.1 or another problem? I am also using the most recent Vault version (1.2.18) so can you tell me what causes this error?
ChestShop version 3.46
I've tried 3.50, too, but I'm getting the error "Could not pass event TransactionEvent to ChestShop" and no money is getting paid or taken :( Please tell me a way to fix this :)

Posted Sep 14, 2012@PillarofAutumn You don't have to worry - it's an error with the stats server, probably Hidendra (author of LWC and the statistics) is doing something at the moment - don't worry, it doesn't cause any errors within plugin :)
Also, are you sure that your sign is right? Could you please post a screenshot of it?

Posted Sep 13, 2012Here is a pic of what just popped up on the very bottom of my console. I have no idea what this means, but using that URL, as it says, comes up with a 502 bad gateway. Is this perhaps the problem, or no?

I was in creative, but I changed to survival, and it still didnt work. Also, I changed the config file to allow for creative, and to not open the chest on click of the sign, and it still has not been working. I made sure the chest had the correct material, and I set my money to something like 1000000000000000000000 so I think I might be a little good money. just barely enough though...

Posted Sep 13, 2012I am using iConomy, and when I set everything up, on a sign right above the chest, like I have done in countless other servers, and it says that the shop was created sucessfully, I cant use it. no amount of clicking fixes this. not lagged or anything.

Posted Sep 13, 2012@Ta6akus3 Bukkit dev is not updated with DEV builds, because the acceptation time for a build is 2 - 8 hours. That is way too long for my dev builds. You can find them in the main plugin thread:

Here's a direct link to the builds (it may change in the future though):
