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!

- /iteminfo <id/name> - Get information about the item with the given id or name
- /shopinfo - Get information about the looked-at shop
- /csgive <itemcode> [<amount>] [<player>] - Give item with a unique ChestShop code to a player
- /cstoggle - Toggle buy and sell notificiation messages
- /chestshop version - Display the ChestShop version

- /csaccess - Toggles ability to buy/sell on shops while having admin/access permissions and normally being ignored

Posted Jan 1, 2013@Endless123 Yup.
@Warhawker It does. PEX simply does not obey the standard. Read the FAQ:
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/chestshop/pages/faq/
@Madmike59 As Endless123 says, don't use /reload ever. Also, unfortunately there is no fix - the only way to add a flag to WorldGuard is a hacky way, and WG devs don't have any better solution for the moment. Until there is a proper way to add a flag to WG, I unfortunately cannot guarantee anything.

Posted Jan 1, 2013I too am having problems with the worldguard integration. I have no errors when i flag however when i reload the server or when the server restarts it removes the flag and people are no longer able to build shops. Wondering if there is a known fix?
I am running the latest builds of both WG and Chestshops.
Thanks, madmike59

Posted Dec 31, 2012@jayfella You're actually right, however what can I do more? It clearly says "TEST VERSION", as almost 90% of the code is a total re-write to make modding easier, and it cannot occur without any errors.
@ninjaangel Hmm, did you turn the region flag on in the config?
@rasnyderiii Enchant book dupe? Well, you could try this version: http://content.wuala.com/contents/Acrobot/ChestShop/Files/ChestShop.jar?dl=1
It uses Bukkit's function to compare itemstacks, so it should work fine.
@InvisiCraftOfficial
Hmm, it seems like somebody tried to sell with enchantment "widi", which is an invalid enchantment. TEST VERSION should fix that.
@phlegacy
No problem :)

Posted Dec 31, 2012This is honestly getting worse and worse. Fix one glitch, introduce more. Call it a test version to avoid backlash. Rinse, repeat.

Use OddItem if you want to change the item names.
@xLoGiiKzZo
Sorry, it was a bit of misunderstanding, as I had read your last post without any context. Yes, it's fixed, however please download t0040 as soon as it's realeased, because it fixes critical bugs.

Yea but it could get confusing. Is there any way that it can be changed? Beause bonemeal isn't necessarily a dye. Yes it's used in dye but it can also be used to grow trees and plants. We ended up just putting the picture of bonemeal above the sign anyways so that way it wasn't as confusing.
