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 23, 2012@HaxtorMoogle There isn't a jenkins repo anywhere, but you can download test builds here, in the main plugin's thread:
http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/4150/
(Link to the builds: http://content.wuala.com/contents/Acrobot/ChestShop/Files/ChestShop.jar?dl=1)
@Ventus97 So switching to 3.50 t0013 fixed it? I should probably release it as official build soon :P

@Istom1nHer0
i was mortified when i read your post Istom. so i just tested it.
chestshop 3.46 with iconomy 6 (latest).
sign was: [elgarfo|1|B -9999|1]
result: neither buyer nor seller lost/received any money. BUT: the buyer received the stone.
as the sign is in the hands of the seller, i think no stealing is possible here.

Posted Sep 23, 2012@Istom1nHer0 Hey there.
It's like saying: My car's not working, if you press the accelerator, it doesn't move forward.
See what I mean?
I don't know what you drive, I don't know if the car was on, I don't know if the car is manual or automatic.
I really need to know:
- your ChestShop version, because on the latest TEST VERSION, it doesn't work.
- your economy plugin.

Posted Sep 23, 2012@HaxtorMoogle @Ventus97 Cannot reproduce with ChestShop version 3.50t0013 - it's not even creating the shop.
@strontkever Cannot reproduce with iConomy, which means that either:
- if you haven't tried this yourself, test it, because it seems fake
or
- Essentials Eco is bugged.

Posted Sep 23, 2012Hello, I am from Minecraft SMP. We would need help with the money generator bug. It might be a server-destroyer bug since our server is a Survival/iConomy based server. As long as I know you can only generate money with an alternative player, Here are the steps on how to use it: 1) Make a shop with this format:
[Player] 1 S -999999999999 [ID]
2) Sell the item requested to this shop using an alternative character. Your alt will have -999999999999 $ and you will gain 999999999999 $.
Hope this helps you to solve this bug, we are keeping this a secret to don't get our server destroyed. Acrobot, atm the only fix I could think of is limiting the accounts for IP to 1. I think this will be our solution until this gets fixed. Thank you.
Ventus
