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 7, 2013Hello.I am running a server and i would like you to tell me what to do exactly so i can add items to chestshops from moarstuff (if its possible)
I think that i added them just by writing the name in the past but now its not working.I cant find the ID of the items from Moarstuff and i tried odditems (it adds custom item Ids) but with no luck.
Some help?

Posted Apr 7, 2013@Nentify Unfortunately, I have no idea about IndustrialCraft - the item id you'll get through /iteminfo will be your best bet, however I'm really not sure how IC accomplishes armour charging.

Posted Apr 7, 2013Using ChestShop 3.50 t0053, MCPC+ L7 (CB 1.4.7 R4.0) with the IndustrialCraft2 1.115.231-lf.
Is it possible to sell charged armour pieces and tools through chests? I've tried the ID 30176:27 which comes up through NEI, I've trued 30176:1#5 which comes up through /iteminfo, as well as an empty ID and just :1 and what have you. Is there any way to do this other than uncharge the item?
Thanks!

Posted Apr 7, 2013@jakeseedwtf Yup, you can. Just do /iteminfo while holding the pick, it'll tell you the ID for the sign.
@denden216 No problem! :)
@JoeriT No problem!

Posted Apr 6, 2013Is it possible to sell custom made items through the chest shop? for example, I made a pickaxe with all level 1 enchants and called it the "1 pickaxe". How would I sell that pick if I could? I should also note that this would be in an Admin shop.

Posted Apr 6, 2013@denden216 Have you tried checking the config? The SHIFT_SELLS_ALL version was removed, and instead, there's SHIFT_SELLS_IN_STACKS.

Posted Apr 6, 2013@RyanSayer I'll bet that you haven't really updated ChestShop or you're using an outdated CraftBukkit build.

Posted Apr 6, 2013@ZwPBerserk Firstly, you need a plugin that allows you to create custom mob spawners. Then, if you're using the latest ChestShop version, do /iteminfo.
@Bodyash Do /iteminfo, if you're using the latest ChestShop version.
@Hefko All of the latest ChestShop versions are for 1.5.1.
