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!

No, I can't. You should use Vault for Fe-economy.
@pixelmanhaha
It is right - you do not have enough money. Maybe the sign is wrong?
@VergilPrime
I think it's already possible with toggling a setting in the config.
@DragoNz0rz
Hmm... Update maybe?
@Robert107
Bone Meal has always been White Ink Sack - you have probably used OddItem for other item names. Also, for the messages, read the main thread, it's in red - the %amount should be removed from the messages.
@H8llfire
It's already there.

Hey acro, the names of some items have been changed, for example "Bone Meal" its now "White Ink Sack" so if there's any old shop of 1.3.2 that sells "Bone Meal" when you touching it its giving a NullPointerException:
Also when someone buys or sells, the seller and the buyer are getting their messages like this: "You bought %amount 64 Dirt from player for 200.00", the %amount holder its not removed from the string.
Hope it helps.

Hmm... Wait - it might be caused by 1.4.6. However "all items"? It seems to bug only with items with metadata for me. Anyway, I'll be releasing a fixed version soon.

The selling thing also dupes the items for player shops, creating the items thinking it took them. Happens in 1.4.6 beta as well
