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 24, 2013@Malachi21 Huh? Well, "sells an item to a chest shop" - that's how it works, right? If you sell something to the shop, you gain money, and the shop owner loses it...? Or am I wrong?

Posted Mar 24, 2013@marotoweb Seems like the database for saving transactions o.o
Are you sure you turned website generation and database logging both off?
@rfsantos1996 :D
@clovisdelmotte The HTML files can be found in the "Files" section, at the top of the page.
@PesquisadoR I'm not entirely sure you can do that. You can try doing that with the latest ChestShop version - just do /iteminfo while holding the item, it'll tell you the item ID.

Posted Mar 24, 2013Sorry my english
as the title says .. I know well chestshop and use in my server.
I know how to sell items on the market with encatamentos patterns I, II, III, IV and V
But I would like to SELL CUSTOM enchanted items, it's possible? Eg
dig speed 50 diamond pickaxe
why use a level so high? because so players poderam buy only 1 item and use this time even destroy, with level 50 since it is not possible to repair; D
In my market I use all signs directing the purchase price in ADMINSHOP
I would love to be able to create a custom enchanted item as explained above, please, it is possible to do this?
Thanks to all

Posted Mar 23, 2013In the config file, their is an option for "Generate_Statistics", when activated ("true), Chestshop repeatedly says: You lack the necessary HTML files in your plugins/ChestShop/HTML folder!"
I haven't been able to find any documentation or instructions what-so-ever on how did works and what it requires.
Please Help, Thanks

Every duping glitch has already, for 4 months, been fixed. Just be sure to download the latest, test version, not 3.46 - for Minecraft 1.2.5...
@TheFineMiner Sorry, that's more of a WorldGuard question.

Posted Mar 23, 2013@TorgusAmorgus Hmm... 1.5 (and 1.4) changed how items are saved - so try re-making a shop, using /iteminfo to get the needed info for the sign.
@kruuu Oh :P

Posted Mar 23, 2013@Endless123 For "is allowed to destroy other peoples shop sign" you just need to go to config.yml and change "TURN_OFF_SIGN_PROTECTION" to "true".

Posted Mar 23, 2013Hey,
im not quite sure if i understand the internal protection right.
Heres my situation - i got an extra shop world with no lwc protections, and rent regions. The goal is - if a shop is not rented anymore, that the next buyer can just destroy the chests and shop signs. The permission node for destroying shop signs u gave me was
- ChestShop.mod
But this messes up the internal protection, and allowed users who rented the region to open the chest of an old shop. so people can just sell to the old shop owner - open the chest - and sell again until that guy has no more money. I think normally it would say "you cant open the chest because of a shop" or something similar.
I think a new permission node would help alot - a node just for "is allowed to destroy other peoples shop sign".
Do you understand my problem? my english sucks alot and its hard to explain.
I couldnt come up with another solution - other then enabling lwc in this world, but that would ruin the automatic shop system :(
