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

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 30, 2013@pimsserver Nope, not normal. Also, are you running your economical DB on an external server?

Posted Apr 30, 2013Is it normal that the server crashes when a shopper sells 2 stacks of (in this case) redstone? He was selling it one by one, which is of course not the best, but still, it's a little awful if it takes the server down for a few minutes when a player is not aware that shift-clicking is a little faster.

Posted Apr 27, 2013@winter4w Please check the config. "SHOP_INTERACT_INTERVAL".
@MrHowtoredstone Use an economy plugin?
@Slaand Haha, no. It IS optimized. It might be your economy plugin that's not optimized. Also, it shouldn't in any way lag your server just because of using the plugin. It might be constant transactions that your server can't handle. As I said before, check SHOP_INTERACT_INTERVAL (and FAQ).
@Vladislavik36 Read FAQ.

Posted Apr 25, 2013@UnitedFactions Already done, PM me if you want to test it. What really needs testing is support for bank accounts, which was pulled recently into the repo.
@boushwa Have you looked into the config? "ALLOW_PARTIAL_TRANSACTIONS"

Posted Apr 24, 2013I'm using iConomy. I'm noticing in my shop that I am selling Grilled Pork in quantities of 64 but I might have 143 pieces of pork in the chest - a player will come along and buy a stack. Then another player will buy another stack. This leaves me with 15 pork. So the next player comes along and is able to buy just the 15 pork at a reduced price (plugin does the math to figure out the reduced price). Is there a way to turn this off? If I don't have a multiple of 64 in my chest shop, I don't want the players to be able to buy the partial stack.
Any info is appreciated.
