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 18, 2013"Added an option to turn off the CraftBukkit teleportation bugfix" I do not see an option in the config for this. When users are teleported from the nether to world on join this fix makes it so they cannot do anything.

Posted Feb 18, 2013Hey, Is it possible for players to share 1 shop? That I can put 2 names on the sign and it divides the earnings between those players? Because 2 of my players want to share a potions shop where they only sell potions but they want to share each chest so they both earn the same.

Posted Feb 17, 2013Hey @Acrobot
We recently updated to the newer release candidate of the plugin, what is the sign syntax for the metadata items? Is there anything special for it or does it just choose whatever item is in the chest?

Well, we are using iConomy 8.0a with mysql and sign-use-per-second globally restricted with essentials to avoid lags (iConomy has a bad mysql implementation).
@kotxde1
Uih, nice one, thx for the info, sounds really interessting. And maybe more than a look worth.

Posted Feb 17, 2013I don't think my ticket went through so I'll type it here...
There is a problem when login in with auth plugins. We isolated and found a problem coming from your plugin that causes this problem.
When people log out flying and then come back in and try to log in in the air. The text bar disappears you can't type your password. I had to downgrade to your alpha version to fix the problem and it worked. Take a look at it please because it's a huge major issue and people complain a lot ☺

@ViciousCircleMC As @BlueFusion95 says, regenerate your local.yml file - just delete it, it'll auto-regenerate. The reason for the change is that now ChestShop's core allows for multi-item transactions.

@bernardopmbr "Use the past code" - simply not possible. If you want a plugin that uses the old code, use the old version - I'm not stopping you from doing that.
As you can see, with t0041 you couldn't sell the new items, like fireworks etc. - the reason why t0049 is not THAT optimal is because of the fact that the new items have to be saved somewhere, there is no durability whatsoever.
Also, incompatibility with authme can be worked out by the newest ChestShop version, yet to be approved by Bukkit staff.
