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 21, 2012There's this critical but that you can stack unstackable itens.. like potions, armour, tools, etc etc.
AdminShop 64 S 1 : 1 B Stone Pickaxe
When item breaks, it starts using up the one under it.. So you can compress your inventory.
Also exploitable with potions (fast throwing many instant damagens or instant healing potions).
And the worst exploit, people make a stack of water bottle and create a stack of potions out of a single ingredient.
PLEASE FIX ASAP!
(Possible fix: have a table of values for each item and it's respective "max-stack" size. When buying stuff, sell one stack at a time and if player tries to buy more than he has space on inventory, msg "you dont have enough inventory for this")

Posted Sep 20, 2012Acrobot i play on the server and chest shop is installed, but the problem is shops get bought out fast because not alot of people have shops. Is it possible to add a feature where u can make it so i can like create a bank and then when someone buys items it goes to the bank and then you can define whos in that bank and then anyone inside of that bank can withdraw money and open the banks chest shops like maybe something like this.
/bank create [name]
/bank add [player name]
/bank balance
and then when creating chest shops u type
[bank name] then the rest of the details for the sale.

Posted Sep 20, 2012@strontkever Oh, %material should work. I'll look into that.
@Stormofblood You need Vault to use Essentials Eco with ChestShop.

Posted Sep 20, 2012@Acrobot First i would like to thank you for this awesome plugin! I am currently having a error reported in the console with ChestShop 3.50 v0012.
The following error is displayed in server console when a player buys an item from a Admin Shop.
http://pastebin.com/Y8JQsc7B
The user is given the item, but the funds are not subtracted from the user's account.
I am currently using Essentials Eco along with these plugins: GroupManager, WorldEdit, GriefPrevention, Votifier, Essentials, dynmap, EssentialsSpawn, ChestShop, EssentialsChat
Is there something i am missing?

Posted Sep 20, 2012@Mariskaaa I'm sorry for saying that, but I knew what will be inside the pastebin link. I answered this question literally at least 100 times now. It's caused by a bug in 3.46. However, I changed ChestShop really much since 3.46, so I can't just fix it right away - I have a ChestShop 3.50 version downloadable in the main plugin's thread on Bukkit forums, which fixes this and adds a lot of new features.

Posted Sep 19, 2012@ToddVee I did in fact delete %amount. ChestShop's core now supports multi-item transactions, so that wouldn't really work.
@ItsLawrence Issue with Minecraft, not sending packets for that action.

Is there any way for this to be fixed then, or is it an issue with Bukkit not supplying enough information?

Posted Sep 18, 2012With the latest test build of your plugin, there is a problem related to messages. Look at the following, self explaining pic. Ooor did you delete %amount and only use %item for both item and amount? Thank you for your hard work, its one of the best and most important plugins ever.
Look here.

Posted Sep 18, 2012@strontkever The changes are that %amount is removed from all the messages. This is because ChestShop's core now supports multi-item transactions.
And it says that it's successfully created because the enchantment code is for another enchantment :P

Posted Sep 17, 2012@Mystra007 I'd wish that you Pm'd me, so I know what changed.
@strontkever So that's why. ChestShop supports only enchantments up to level 9, due to the way they are coded on signs.

Posted Sep 17, 2012Acrobot: I was wondering if I could post the tax thing in a message here instead of doing a git patch? With 1.3.2 coming and new releases of bukkit on the way I think I should get the code in before the code changes too much.
