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!

Not really bug. You just cannot do that due to Bukkit's limitations.

Posted Dec 25, 2012I downgraded to 3.46 Chest Shop, it works, 3.50 doesn't work with [Restricted]
Also will you allow custom enchants to be sold. since /iteminfo does give a damage value, like enchants up to 10.

Posted Dec 25, 2012Everyone can successfully create shops but whenever you try to buy or sell from another shop, nothing happens. It just says that the sign is locked with a magical spell (I have LWC).

Posted Dec 24, 2012It would be nice to be able to sell enchanted books. Currently it bugs out and sells an enchanted book without any enchantments.

Hmm... Are you sure you're not using Essentials Eco? I've removed Essentials from the built-in Register-powered plugin list, so unless you're using Vault, it's reading only iConomy.

Some more information needed: do you use Vault? Which economical plugin do you use?
@alex22808
Which dupe? The /tp one? No, it isn't, because it's a bug in the bukkit, however there is a setting in ChestShop's config (SIGN_CHEST_OPEN or something like that) which can just turn that function off, essentially blocking the bug.
@Robert107
No problem :)
