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 Oct 11, 2012At the moment I had to take out chest shop from my server since there is this weird glitch where people can get infinite mob eggs by simply placing an empty chest down than create a buy/sell sign saying the egg cost $0 than click on the sign many times quickly even there is nothing in the chest, than they will get an infinite egg that can be used as my times as they want and this also happens with exp bottles. Please fix this glitch we'll really appreciate you!

Posted Oct 10, 2012@ccman972 I must disagree with you (not on the Towny stuff, but on the server hosting) I'm 14 and I've made over $300 and I host about 102 people. Server owners should be determined and mature, it doesn't matter on age. People that can't manage their servers I agree with you should keep the hosting for the people that spent many months of their lives trying to make a safe environment for Minecraft players.

Posted Oct 7, 2012hello,
i have some minor bugs and java errors at console. You said it will be fixed in 3.50. Well ill be really happy to use new V3.5o, but how exactly i need to edit local yaml file? I dont undwrstand what this mean:
ChestShop 3.50 TEST VERSION v0013 (You'll have to edit your local.yml file!)
Im not that eager to mess with cfg files without knowing exactly what to do because im afraid to mess up whole economy system and that could be end of server.
many thnx in advance. Im sure somewhere in these 273 pages someone already answered this question, but its very hard to find it.
Cheers! :)
