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 Mar 8, 2013Feature Suggestion: Instead of removing the sign from the wall when a shop is empty, could you just replace the text on the sign to like Sold Out? Or add an option. Just an idea :)

Posted Mar 8, 2013No what i mean is - there is a hidden admin permission, that allows me to break other users shop signs. Is there a node for that? I want to give this node to .. for example.. my mods - so they can clear shops without admin permissions - since i dont want them to create admin shops.

Posted Mar 8, 2013@Endless123 Well, yeah, unfortunately if the shop was never filled, the sign never gets removed - it would make a sense, you wouldn't want to remove newly-created shops.
The order of checks doesn't really matter, as it's all event-based - that means every listener receives information about the interaction.
To smash other people's signs, there is a feature like that in the config.

Posted Mar 8, 2013I found 2 Problems :(
I want to remove Empty shops with the integrated Sign remove on empty feature. It works if the shop had items in it - but if the shop was never filled, they sign never gets removed, even though the shop is empty!
And also maybe you can switch the order of checks uhm.. how to explain.. someone has a shop with stones with a ridicoulous price, but theres no stones inside - it first checks for the money, and then tries to remove the sign. shouldnt it be like the other way around or something.
What i try to accomplish is automated shop system with a rent feature. So the next shop owner can just smash all chests and signs. Or Maybe is there a permission, that allows people to smash other peoples shop signs but checks if they have build permissions before (world guard) - other then the admin permission?
i hope you understand what i mean

Posted Mar 7, 2013@rfsantos1996 Haha, see, that was the problem :)
@sakura_blades Nah, that's not true. In fact, to sell an enchanted item/an enchantment book, just do /iteminfo while holding the item - it'll tell you the ID needed.
@gramoobi Seriously? Because when I tested it on the latest version of ChestShop and CraftBukkit, it didn't work!

Posted Mar 6, 2013When you rename an item you can sell it infinitely... for example: i renamed a diamond to GRaaahhh and put it in the shop selling diamonds for $1 then when you buy it it wont remove it from the chest...

Posted Mar 6, 2013I read somewhere that we can't sell enchantment books with this shop plugin? Is that true?
If it is possible to sell enchantment books via the shops, where can I find the proper codes for the books? :\
