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 20, 2013@karatepancake 3.46 is a really old one. It was meant for 1.2.5, that's why it doesn't work with 1.4.x

Posted Mar 19, 2013@Rompel Item names - yes. However the sign looks totally different, so you won't need to translate things like 'B' and 'S'.
2) Nope, unfortunately - it's not that easy as it sounds. You can't get the source of redstone power.
@kwek20 Really? Using the latest test version?

Posted Mar 18, 2013Hi, i got 2 short questions about this mod:
1) Will using translations also allow translated item names as written on a sign? Talking about a sign that looks like: - Verkaufen(Sell) - 5Punkte(5 Points) - Erde(Dirt)
2) Is the sign able to be activated by redstone. Imagine there is a player pressing a button. The button poweres a wire which poweres the sign, which triggers the same event as if the player was pushing the sign.

ahaa Everyone on my server loves your plugin, good job! The only problem I have is already on the plugin's dev page- "As operator with the permissions '*' you have all rights and you might get no drops or xp as operator, but this should not mind." Other than that, I have no problems ;)

Posted Mar 17, 2013@bradley00121 Well, yes, obviously. However, every version can have bugs. The only difference is that Test Version wasn't tested as thoroughly as the normal versions.
@ZzgoogleplexzZ Have you tried updating ChestShop?
@boushwa Nope, it's not in ChestShop. However, if you have any experience with programming plugins, you can easily make your own addon to do that, using ChestShop API.
@B2key1 Unfortunately, I have almost no free time and I don't play MC anymore, so I can't really give you feedback, however if anyone's watching this, please try the plugin :)

Posted Mar 17, 2013I would love to see something like that:
- You create an area called "Shop 1".
- Then you add a sign before it with that you can buy the Area for a Week. So you are allowed to sell Stuff there and it should be so that people only can use it at this position.
I would love that

Posted Mar 16, 2013I don't think ChestShop currently has this implemented but please correct me if I am wrong. What I would like to see if this:
Say I've got an Admin Shop sign where I'm buying diamonds from players for $100 each. However, I would like to give my donors an additional 25% bonus when they sell their diamonds to me, thus they would get $125 where normal players would still only get the $100. Sort of like a %bonus setting of some sort configurable by groups.
Is this something that already exists or if not, possible?
Thanks,
Boushwa
