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

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 18, 2013Is there any ways to make it so chestshop.shop.create is not enabled by default? I would like to make it so only donators can create chest shops, but defaults can buy and sell from them, but not create them. Thanks! :D

Posted Jan 17, 2013@Crysillion Well, I did fix that, because MC changed how items are saved in 1.4.6 - so now I'm using a built-in function for checking if items are of the same type.

Posted Jan 17, 2013Oh damn, now I feel stupid. We're rocking v3.46. I thought we updated about a week ago, but I guess we messed up somewhere. We will implement 3.50 latest tonight and let you know. Have you tried it in this version, friend? Does it seem okay?

Posted Jan 17, 2013Hello! There is a MAJOR exploit with your latest build! If someone sells something that was used in the Minecraft anvil, you can dupe it infinitely. Let me put this into example for you:
Let's say I am selling a Sharp 1 Diamond Sword that I got from traditional enchanting. No big deal. I sell it, someone buys it, it's gone from the chest - successful transaction. Now, let's say I am selling a Sharp 1 Diamond Sword that I got from using a Minecraft anvil. I sell it, someone buys it - it's still in the chest. Duped.

I fixed the "." problem, however as you can see from my GitHub, many things are currently ongoing changes.
