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 30, 2012I am constantly getting a console error on My server whenever I create a sign with color nodes in it. Usually Essentials handles the Sign colors and such, but I think that ChestShop may be conflicting with something.

Posted Sep 30, 2012@Assassin75 No, you have to use other plugins, probably ones that grant permissions based on terrain (I don't know if such exist)

Posted Sep 29, 2012So my question is, is it possible to,with chestshop, select a specific region where one person is allowed to add a chestshop, or do I have to use a plugin such as towny, or Kingdoms?

Posted Sep 28, 2012@kajar9 Hmm? What does ignore the ratio?
@Falcon_Hunter You've got to put the example files - which can be found in the "Files" category to your plugins/ChestShop/HTML folder.

Posted Sep 28, 2012@alexmarkey Look inside chests, yes. But they are also able to break them, because there was a ticket (a long time ago) that said to change that.

Posted Sep 28, 2012It works for Admin Shops, but regular shops ignore the use ratio.
So if someone uses a players shop. They can freeze the server for the time if they constantly click it.
Tried messing around with the timer... no luck.

Posted Sep 26, 2012@StuckingFoned asdfff. Seriously.
The 8th post before yours has the same error. I replied to it (I think that's a 100th time now I'm replying to that bug). Please at least search for a bit. I really don't have much free time, so I'm trying to do what I can, but I can't reply all the time to the same question.

Posted Sep 25, 2012@asofold Yeah, unfortunately, I'm not yet ready.
I'm implementing a custom database system, so I can save the prices for other items too in the database.

The book problem would be solved with the "sell next item in chest" method (ItemStack.clone or just direct return).
If there are buy-only shops of that kind, the other button could be used to show details about the next item by chat message. Also allows to sell damaged stuff easily. Not sure you have such on the list...
Edit: I see, it is ticket 172...

Posted Sep 25, 2012@rasnyderiii %amount was removed from all messages regarding items bought/sold.
This is because ChestShop's core (which can be used by other plugins) supports multi-item transactions.
@pbarron88 The plugin doesn't work with books at the moment, because there is no way in API to do that.
@Ventus97 Ok then :)
@Newpoman Please search. This is because you use 3.46 version of ChestShop. It's fixed in the latest TEST VERSION, downloadable in the main plugin's thread on Bukkit forums.
