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 6, 2013How to sell named heads?
I can sell only standart heads. I`m server admin. Create: http://cs418331.vk.me/v418331094/5b73/BXYYTbqWtY8.jpg Items in chest: http://cs418331.vk.me/v418331094/5b7c/Pvm8lyxoWwM.jpg http://cs418331.vk.me/v418331094/5b85/hze24UKa4d0.jpg

@todo94 Just delete the %amount from YOU_BOUGHT/SOLD_TO_SHOP and SOMEBODY_BOUGHT/SOLD_TO_YOUR_SHOP messages.
@TheMCSparky You haven't really updated ChestShop. The big "download" button unfortunately will still lead to an outdated build for a few hours.
Try downloading this one:

Posted Apr 5, 2013I updated chest shop. But still have the problem with anvils. People will rename an item and duplicate it in a free chest or they will rename and sell the same item over and over without it disappearing. Any other fix?

OK thanks, I guess its their block protection doing this for protected regions, just thought I would ask here as I noticed they use ChestShop. Thank you for the quick reply!
Answer: I found a solution. Using SimpleProtect I can set a region and within it (my store for example) I can block single blocks only allowing chests on whatever block it allows. If placed anywhere else within the store it will remove them back to inventory. Not sure WorldGuard allows this but I'll look into it.

Hmm, no, it's not dumb nor it has been already answered, however I believe you might be looking for some plugin that blocks chest placing, ChestShop won't really help you with that :/

Posted Apr 5, 2013Sorry if this sounds dumb or answered somewhere but is it possible to make chests only able to be placed on certain blocks, for example, clay?
I have seen a server using towny, they made an outpost for a store and I assume protected it region but you can only place the chests down on clay on their server, not next on the sandstone a few blocks from it in the entire shop.
Thanks

Posted Apr 5, 2013@TheMCSparky Update ChestShop...
@CosmicVoyager Sorry, but that doesn't tell me anything. It's probably a file error, I'm investigating the issue.
@NemesisMate Not yet, you can write a custom sub-plugin for ChestShop, though :P

Posted Apr 4, 2013Hey @Acrobot. There is a duplication glitch in 1.5 using this plugin. When someone renames a item in an anvil and place it in there shop people can buy it and there will be a unlimited stock. Meaning a friend can get there friend to make a free sign and continuously dupe items.
