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 Nov 22, 2012Nice plugin always loved it, I'm curious could you in the near future be adding a function that allows us to buy a bundle (Like a sign that buys multiple items (like a diamond armor set))

No, it's not similar at all. This problem had been reported many times, please search.
@MrCool1845 Not yet, but with ChestShop 3.50 API, it will be possible to add that.

Posted Nov 21, 2012Is this a plugin where the item is on display with a sign? Or just a sign?

Posted Nov 21, 2012@smokie23 Well, it doesn't reload everything, unfortunately, but with the new config system introduced in the dev build I'm making, it should be working fine :)
@Niknox Something is wrong with your configuration, unfortunately the error's too brief to tell what.

Posted Nov 21, 2012I have the following issue with ChestShop on my Gamed!de- Debian Minecraftserver. If I start the server with Chestshop it shows one single error all the time and server doesn't start. Without the plugin there's no problem. I have the same Plugin and config on my PC and it's working fine. Do u know a solution or what the problem is? Code: 15:15:39 [SEVERE] at com.Acrobot.ChestShop.Config.BreezeConfiguration.loadConfiguration(BreezeConfiguration.java:67)

Posted Nov 21, 2012/chestshop reload doesn't reload??
I changed the "SHOP_INTERACTION_INTERVAL:" to 1000 and then 5000 and 10000. each time doing "/chestshop reload" and the interval never updated. I had to restart the server for the changes to take effect. Not a biggie, but thought I'd mention it.

Posted Nov 20, 2012I'm not sure if you can do this, but I'm trying to find a solution to allow me to sell the new player/monster heads. It would be nice if I could stock a chest with a specific head and write a brief description + price on the sign. Then if a player clicked the sign they would buy quantity=1 of whatever single item is in the chest (without having to specify an item id on the sign).

Posted Nov 20, 2012Is there a way I can configure this plugin or a plugin similar to this to use multiple currencies? I wanted to have a multiple currency system for my server, but it's pretty much pointless to do unless I can find a ChestShop-esque plugin that responds to more than one currency...

Download 3.50 test version, set the option in config.
@joannou1 Hmm... That's weird, I swear it worked fine... Hmm...
@brend998 Inability to put down a chest is not a problem with ChestShop.

Yeah, wtf, every chest, even regular normal chests are invulnerable to TNT/creepers. Using ver 3.50t0026.
Though, if you set USE_BUILT_IN_PROTECTION: false, then you may blow them up.

However, I feel that if "SignChangeEvent too ChestShop on 1.4.4 buggs realy hard", there might be something wrong with your configuration.
