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!

A screenshot isn't really needed to see the situation. It's a signpost, on a block, next to a chest. The signpost is on the ground, so it's not a wall sign. It has been tested with chests on 1, 2, 3, and 4 sides. The sign is a player shop.
It has been broken by people who have permissions to create player shops and break shops, but they don't have permissions to break the sign. They are not able to break the wall signs, but removal of the block that the sign post is on breaks the sign post.
The permissions plugin is PermissionsEx 1.19.5, ChestShop 3.50t0041, CraftBukkit build 2571.

Posted Jan 23, 2013@syamn I'm afraid that it would be impossible to add that at the moment due to the fact that EBean - system built in Bukkit, loathed by most people (including me, for some time now), has been used by me at the beginning of ChestShop 3 and it doesn't support configurable table names :( Sorry!
@Aragoth1337 Should work fine - try with another permission plugin, PEX doesn't respect any standards.

Could you add "database_tablename" as configuration?
I want to use another name instead of "cs_transactions".
In my environment, cannot create table as name that for some reason.

Posted Jan 23, 2013@Jojodmo2010 I just told you - open it with WinRAR/other compressed file manager, open plugin.yml and change "default: true" to "default: false".
@Swainoo Read the FAQ - PEX disregards the standard, so you'll have to negate the "ChestShop.shop.create.*" node.
@SheerAwesomeness OddItem plugin.

Posted Jan 22, 2013@Rat_Cat12 Nope, it's a CraftBukkit error. If it had been safeguard, the error would have been different.
@conetopia3000 Yes, of course. The name "ChestShop" would kind of indicate the need of a chest, right?
@JesseWayne21 Are you sure about all of that? You simply do not need %amount anymore, however other variables should be fine.
@Jojodmo2010 Sorry, I can't, as really much has changed since the 31st of December.

Posted Jan 22, 2013Sorry for posting what may be a silly question but is there a way to fix the message when buying or selling from a chestshop. After updating my messages now pop up as "%buyer bought %amount %item for %price from you." and so on.

Posted Jan 21, 2013@The_xXProdigalXx This bug does happen with any item, not only Wool:17, and it's a bug within bukkit. For now, please disable SIGN_CHEST_OPENING in the config.
@lilacorn Sorry, I don't understand the question.
@Jojodmo2010 What do you mean? Just simply change the "default: true" to "default: false", that's really all to it.
@Drkmaster83 Fixed in the latest version, however I'm working so ItemMeta items will work too.
@CichusekPL Sorry, this seems like an error within CraftBukkit - please report it to them.

Posted Jan 21, 2013There is a duplicating bug involving ItemMeta. If you rename an item and put it into a chest, then make a sign selling that item's original name (say, a gold block named "Butter", and you made the sign sell "Gold Block") then it will reduce the price by 2 decimal points and sell an infinite amount of the item on the sign.

This issue can be done with any item on the sign, just disable clicking the sign on Chest Shop.
