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 Feb 4, 2013@zodanemir Hey. Unfortunately, I can't fix that - it's just Tekkit Lite acting up :C
@UserDead Ha, unfortunately that's not really a bug - MC team decided in 1.2.5 (I think), that MC won't send packets if it can't place a block anymore, so no packets are received -> I can't even tell that the block was clicked.
@Maxetto Yup, it does not work if you're using the newest plugin version combined with the newest CB.

I am testing this on stone, i did tested it on survival mode, all the different permissions (op and player (de-opped)).
New-> I tried again with the latest build of ChestShop 3.5.T0041. I checked the console and there are no errors: 11:36:00 ChestShop: dwarvmater sold 32 Stone for 2.00 to Admin Shop at [overworld] 79, 64, -5 11:36:14 ChestShop: dwarvmater bought 32 Stone for 5.00 from Admin Shop at [overworld] 79, 64, -5 11:36:26 ChestShop: dwarvmater sold 32 Stone for 2.00 to Admin Shop at [overworld] 79, 64, -5
Buying does not auto-update your inventory, clicking an empty inventory slot let the bought item appear. Though selling still doesn't remove the items even when updating the inventory. Note that the server runs on Forgemod with Bukkitforge in coremods, thus not running on a pure CB engine. Setting the engine on CB makes Tekkit Lite crash, cause it's made for Forge only... Checking the console, there are no conflicts though.
