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 Jan 2, 2013Hey,
if you enchant an item with an anvil and sell it to a ChestShop, you get the money and you keep the item.
Thanks ;D

Yes, I'm sorry, the test versions before 0041 generated a few blank lines every start, so that might have messed it up.
And the config seems just fine, I have no idea why would it be memory-heavy... Are you using any kind of profiler to find out what lags the most?
@steveba69 It's fixed in the test versions, however they do not work with Tekkit, because it uses an outdated CraftBukkit build...
@BoomerBR I meant - in code :D

The default config was somehow generated 476 lines long after the last update (t0041) and everything after line 103 was blank... Maybe that did it? Anyways, here is the updated config without the extra lines.

Posted Jan 2, 2013I'm not sure if this is a ChestShop issue or an OddItem issue. I'm running a Tekkit server with ChestShop v.3.42, and i've placed several Tekkit tools in OddItems item config, but when I use those names on the sign for my Admin Shop, it changes the name to X then the item id#. Any suggestions?

I have another issue now, Chestshop seems to be eating up all my ram in the course of 30 seconds to a minute after a second or third player joins. As soon as I disabled it though everything went back to normal (ram usage wise). My assumption is that there may be some kind of horrible memory leak. The really odd thing is it doesn't happen with only myself on the server. Am I the only one with this issue? It could be a conflicting plugin but I doubt it. nothing has changed except chest shop.

@bhallowitz Yes, I am, how did you know? ;)

Basically, creates memory leaks, lags and might create bugs.
