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 May 6, 2013@14manj01 As I replied just 5 posts before yours, if you want to use custom item names, use the OddItem plugin.

Posted May 6, 2013@rfsantos1996 No and no. For the lag - it's probably not ChestShop's fault. As for the async events - no way I can do that, because I have to manipulate inventory (etc.) during the event.

Posted May 6, 2013Acrobot, is there a "best-performance" config file with you? u.u I am having some lag, and it was a lot less in the past (a week ago)
PS: do you use async events? Or isnt any extra way to make the plugin less laggy?

Posted May 5, 2013@FluffyTheNeko Well, the normal (shift sells all) has been removed in favour of the new option, shift selling in stacks.
@MetalGearDaner Low FPS is a client issue, as @CaptainJohnnyBlu says. Signs are a huge performance hit.
@CaptainJohnnyBlu Use OddItem for that.

Posted May 5, 2013Shift+clicking used to work just fine up until a while ago, I think it was when I updated to v3.50 (from t0059).
SHIFT_SELLS_IN_STACKS: false
SHIFT_ALLOWS: "ALL"
But when I try sell something, it just sells the amount specified by the shop, same for buying...
What am I doing wrong?

Low FPS is a client side issue, specifically to do with the capabilities of your graphics card and it's inability to render multiple signs and chests.
Tone down your graphics settings: Options > Video Settings > Graphics: Fast

Posted May 5, 2013Hey is it possible to show different item names on chestshops? For example, change Redwood Log shop signs to show Spruce Wood, as is shown in the inventory.
I'm guessing that the code which sorts out the item names is in: /com/Acrobot/Breeze/Utils/MaterialUtil.java
An editable file containing all the ID's and data values matched with a proper display name would be nice. ;)
Cheers!

Posted May 4, 2013I don't know if this is just a glitch or if it needs an update, but with the new beta build, anything having to do with sign interaction and chest shop doesn't happen (buying, selling, opening chests with signs.) Please help.
EDIT: that was weird, it's fixed now.
