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!

Does this use NMS/OBC? is there a fix? Apparently some plugins have silent breaks is this one of them?

max-buy-price
@Nightiky
That is planned, unfortunately I don't have any database for shops yet - it's the biggest obstacle.
@Zeokon
From 3.50 t0035 - the BOSEconomy support without Vault is fixed.

Posted Dec 18, 2012Could you add please some sort of option for dynamic economy? If players sell more sell price will go down or when players buy prices go up? Could be usefull for some cases.

Actually, there is one: Just add this in your config.yml:
max-buy-price: theMaxSellingPriceForItem
(Or, if you want to limit the price for which people can sell to your shop - use -sell- instead of -buy-)
@LiLChris06
o.0 They should be there. Also, I see it's not yet approved on BukkitDev. Anyways, it fixes a bug when using BOSEconomy without Vault.
@Neotician
Exactly, BOSEconomy :D That's what are the fixes in v3.50 t0036 TEST VERSION for :)
Unfortunately, I submitted the build to BukkitDev 24 hours ago and it's still not approved.
You can download the build from here:

Could you add a option in config to limit the selling price. Therefore we could disable people making insane price shops just to store their items.

Posted Dec 16, 2012Here's a funny glitch for ya:
I've recently installed chestshop on my server, but no-one can buy or sell to them, aparently it states that they do not have correct permissions. I've then added the needed permissions to both group and user, to no avail.
Lastly, i downloaded my entire server and started it locally, then i de-opped myself and tried it out, I was able to sell and buy, but i was also able to sell items i didn't have in my inventory as many times as i wanted.
I have tried deleting the chestshop folder to reset my settings, also done the same for BOSEcomomy.
I'm running Chestshop v3.50 t0035
On bukkit 1.4.5 R0.2 Beta

Sorry, I haven't got any clue :/
Have you tried running 3.50 TEST VERSION?
Also, OddItem should work with Tekkit AFAIK, but don't take my words for granted!

Posted Dec 15, 2012Got a really weird bug on a Tekkit server I'm helping out on.
When selling tekkit based blocks/items, everything seems to work fine. EXCEPT SAPPHIRES!
When entering the ID for them (1257:2), it replaces the : with a "1", meaning the ID is put in as 125712
Any idea whats causing this?
(Also, does OddItem work with Tekkit? It'd be nice to add the names, but I couldn't get it working with Spout a while back)

try this in your config:
REMOVE_EMPTY_SHOPS: true
It will put the sign into the chest - disabling the shop and removing the "protection"
People would still be able to use a price which is not affordable, so that would not really help you.

Posted Dec 15, 2012How can I make it, that people cannot store items that aren't being selled in chestshops? The issue is, that people will store items in there, so people can't raid them.

Believe me. Since ChestShop's 3.50 core allows for multi-item transactions, it doesn't need the %amount anymore. Also, no, it will auto-add the new entries on server startup.
