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 8, 2013@bob7l Have you tested it? In my version, all incorect signs were broken and a message stating invalid ID was shown.
@navbarry The latest one. Look just to the right.

Posted Feb 7, 2013I have players duplicating millions of items with a simple sign missprint.
( v3.50 t0041 - TEST VERSION ) \
According to one of my members, all you need to do is put an incorrect item data ID and it'll allow you to "buy" infinite amount of items.

Posted Feb 7, 2013@Robert107 Hey. I don't really support offline-mode servers. Dot character is not allowed in normal nicknames, so I'd suggest you configuring your auth plugin to filter names like that.
@jaimecamara Well. You either weren't running the latest ChestShop/CraftBukkit version, you didn't turn off ALLOW_SIGN_CHEST_OPENING or you simply gave him admin permissions.
@navbarry There is a simple fix. Update. (both CraftBukkit and ChestShop)
@ShadowDog007 Hmm, I'll try it, however doesn't it sound weird that I'd have to close any inventory myself?
@drdeft Will be possible really soon!

I have posted the ticket.
Last chestshop version 0041. On our hungergames server dead players drop heads. We want alive players to sell this heads to shop. But items with names "Head playername" are impossible to sell. Possible to sell only original items 397:3.

If you have disabled the plugin for a interval of time, the creation of adminshops is possible.

Have you tried to make a work-around for that bukkit bug?
The above should work, just listen for PlayerTeleportEvent on Monitor level.

Hey acro, i have a problem with chestshop. If the player has a "." in the name the shop dosen't works!
For ie, the player "Fantastic." creates a shop (leaving the first line blank), the shop it's created , the message of success is sent to the player, and the name of the player appears in the first line of the sign. Then, another player tries to buy/sell on the shop, but nothing happens.
Any ideas?

Posted Feb 6, 2013@shadowwrad Minimum pricing - nope, however you can do that yourself, by writing a plugin for ChestShop.
@Lightning97 Yup.
@cotjones Cannot do anything about it - it's a bug in Bukkit. https://bukkit.atlassian.net/browse/BUKKIT-3021
To work around it, turn off SIGN_CHEST_OPENING.
@wrecktify80 Nope, it shouldn't - it's a bug in Bukkit, so simply removing this from ChestShop won't fix anything - removing functionality is never the correct solution.
@Sharkykzn Yup - you're right.
@jaimecamara Haha, it won't work - this guy has OP/admin permissions.
@joehot200 Running latest ChestShop version? I doubt it. You might also be running Forge, which people reported - had bugs.

Lol Why would I report it if I wasn't the server owner? Thanks for the tips!
I still think this glitch should be fixed in the plugin code though, most people probably don't know about it.

Posted Feb 6, 2013Found two errors.
1. if people make a chestshop, and put B 0.01, they put their diamond blocks in the chest, then buy them back, but the ones in the chest dont go away! so they get free diamonds!
Also, when people have one object in their hand, it seems to sell the object, give them their money, but not take it from their inventory.
I hope you can fix this soon.

Should the advised steps to disable opening the chest by right clicking the sign have been taken, this should no longer work.
As repeatedly mentioned: turn off SIGN_CHEST_OPENING in the config.
If you are the server owner, edit the config. If a player milking the server, shame on you!
