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 13, 2013Why don't you add a "page" with the plugin.yml file content for seeing permissions nodes?, It would be easier to see :D.
EDIT: If I block ChestShop.shop.create.373 permission (WaterBottle), I get all potions blocked?

Posted Apr 13, 2013Hi,
I use AuthMe for security. But there is this bug with ChestShop where players can buy from shops before logging in with AuthMe. Could you fix this please?
Thanks!

Posted Apr 13, 2013@About7Deaths I'm pretty sure you are using an old CraftBukkit build/an old ChestShop build.
@Chalkie19 You mean - log rotation? Well, it can be easily implemented as a module for ChestShop. Please PM me with all information needed, and I'll prepare one for you. (They are essentially plugins that hook into ChestShop).
@jfudge01 There are no commands for ChestShop. Are you sure this is the right plugin?
@modwizcode Not really at the moment.

There is a major problem on my server where people can change the name of an item with an anvil and sell the item without actually losing the item.

Posted Apr 12, 2013Would you be able to work on the log system a little bit?
At the moment all logs are logged into one file until the end of time, and when I want to check something on the log via FTP, I have to download the whole thing. This is a little over the top at 100+MB.
I was hoping to a option in the config to when a new log should be created.
SHOP_LOG_CREATION: 14
And if possible the file name could be "Date of Day 1 - Date of Day 14" Example 1_4_2013 14_4_2013.log
Thanks.

Posted Apr 12, 2013Can you add a feature where you can reward with items too? Like a chest that sells dirt for x number of logs etc or a chest that buys planks for x amount of iron. So using items instead of currency?

I really cannot tell you from what you've said. Try reading the FAQ first, if that doesn't work, go into the "Tickets" section and submit a ticket for it.

Posted Apr 10, 2013@codewow @Niknox You need to put template files in a "HTML" folder inside plugins/ChestShop.
You can find sample template files under the "Files" section, right at the top of the site.
@Dr_Bunsen Well, you've got to edit out the %amount from your local.yml file from all messages regarding buying/selling.

Yeah.. I can't seem to find any sample files on here or even through Google searching >.> Blah, well guess that feature is useless unless we build our own page.

Okay, could you tell me what I have to do to get all new features?
For example the server tells me "[SEVERE] [ChestShop] You lack the necessary HTML files in your plugins/ChestShop/HTML folder!" Where to get the files?
What things are also added from t0054 to 3.50?
