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 26, 2013@Acrobot @Comment edit Lol. We can't link to unapproved files, but we can link to the github, jenkins and what ever else. Makes no sense.

If I enchant a pickaxe dig_speed level 50 and enter / iteminfo appears 257 # 3. I try to put more on the plate and that number does not work. It really is not possible to do what I want? good work

Posted Mar 25, 2013Hey Acrobat I was wondering if you could help me out with the stat site generation. I've been keeping both text and DB logs in hops of collecting some average prices, etc. It seems though when I take these files and try to generate them, the plugin only generates what has happened while the server is online. Is there any way to make it generate from all the logs? Perhaps I'm doing something wrong..
(I can generate everything successfully, just wondering how I could use ALL the data?)

Posted Mar 25, 2013@Sickagp What do you mean by allowing hopper? Only admin/shop owner can place a hopper near a shop chest.
@Cayorion @mrmag518
Yeah... Something wrong with CraftBukkit...
@Serilum I can't do that - it's not set by me. If you want to download the latest version, it's still not ready for official release.

Getting this to, it's related to the "InventoryMoveItemEvent".

Posted Mar 25, 2013I tested "v3.50 t0057 - TEST VERSION" and my console got spammed with NPE directly on startup. I sadly did not manage to get a copy of the NPE but I'm 98% sure it's ChestShops related. When I downgraded back to "v3.50 t0054 - TEST VERSION" the error disappeared and the server could start up again.

Posted Mar 25, 2013@Malachi21 Haha, no problem :P It happens to all of us.
@PesquisadoR You see, there is no item I'd for a specific enchantment. If you're running ChestShop 3.50, the item code should look like "ItemName#something".
@ccman972 Yeah, I should probably make a page dedicated to that module. Anyway, just put the example files (downloadable from the "files" section) to plugins/ChestShop/HTML folder. (So that all the HTML files are in that folder). After that, just turn on website generation in the config.

If you use / iteminfo is not given an id for sigspeed 50 for example. I can create items like pick sigspeed 50 using AdminCmd plugin with the command / enchant dig_speed 50 with a pick in hands! But I would love to be able to sell items on my server like that, so members can buy just 1 time and will have to use even break. There is no how to do this with CHESTSHOP? chestshop identify ids of items with personalized charms. Or another idea then, since I can create these items, is there any way I can (ADMIN) sell items that are within a "chest"? I put the price on the card and buy it when the member earns one item that has within it. It would be really magical power to do so, ja imagine the possibilities? think well, help me, GREAT WORK, sorry my bad english and this text

I apologize Acro. I had a bout of immense stupidity when I wrote that comment. The plugin is working fine and has been an essential on my server forever. Thank you for your continued support.
