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 Apr 3, 2013Is it possible that you can add the feature to use XP instead of money?

Posted Apr 3, 2013@coolternet Yup! That's what you should do, if you've used a previous ChestShop version before. The new files are generated without it.
@MGbeenieboy Are you sure people are not:
@Tr4pY Shop interaction interval is there so your economy plugin can handle that much transactions at once.

Posted Apr 3, 2013Hmm a small fix for 1.5.1 with last version.
Open file < local.yml >
Edit ligne #14
Remove : %amount
Like that : YOU_BOUGHT_FROM_SHOP: "You bought %item from %owner for %price."
That will fix a small bug with the text ingame :)

Yes i've test it at first at my local server, like i always do.
On my online Server it works faster. But there is still a delay. I like the fast buying methode a lot better. Is there a way to have these back? Or is there a reason for the delay (SHOP_INTERACTION_INTERVAL)?

Obviously your server cant handle ChestShop... because its so lightweight and almost unnoticeable on my server so, check you memory and your economy plugin.

Posted Apr 2, 2013@Tr4pY 2 seconds? Are you hosting your economy database on an external server?
@NemesisMate No problem!
@rnoa Update CraftBukkit.
@FlamingFame You can't buy/sell from your own shop.

Posted Apr 2, 2013@MineCraftMyph Thanks :D Actually, the latest release is 3.50 t0059, which has been released on Mar 30, 2013 :)
@TowelieDOH You know, it's simple only in theory. In practice, ChestShop relies a lot on your economy plugin - it probably causes the most strain on your server. I'll do what I can, though!
@pepper82 Yup, I'm heading in this direction! That's why there are so many test versions...
@Tuidog Update ChestShop and CraftBukkit.
@XeonG8 Read the FAQ.
@rasnyderiii Yeah, I've seen that error too much :/ Unfortunately, I do not know the cause - could you post a screenshot of what's inside your server folder?
@Tr4pY It seems like your local.yml file might be corrupt, could you post it (preferrably on pastie.org - pastebin.com is really slow for me)
@XeonG8 Again, read the FAQ. It's there for a reason. Not everybody has a permission plugin, and at the moment, there is no way of checking if you have one or not.

Posted Apr 2, 2013found the issue... you put in the plugin.yml to default all those perms.. so everyone gets the perms regardless of server owner putting in proper permissions.
