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 27, 2013Would it be possible/worth the trouble for you to re-add being able to sell everything from inventory with shift+click? Both me and my players miss it, as we now have to spam the shops like hell, if we want to buy a lot, which is getting quite frustrating after a while.
If this is already in the plugin, then please tell me how to re-enable it... :/

Posted May 26, 2013@BlueDwarf Yup, the system is not perfect, however you can just look in the comments section - if noone's complaining, it's surely going to run.

Posted May 25, 2013If a plugin can work with a more recent version of craftbukkit then it was originally released for, couldn't you update the file or something to say so? When people see that a plugin has gone months without update, and is listed for a previous version, it kind of turns you off from trying to use it, since nothing there really suggests that it would work for your version of minecraft (In this case its only off one version point, but I've seen plenty of other up-to-date plugins that list much older versions). Then you get people asking 'Can you please update this?' and you responding "It already works for that..." which is all well and good, but how were they supposed to know that? Sorry if I sound whiny, it just seems like the current system on bukkit dev is set up in a way that causes a lot of unnecessary complaints and requests for updates.

Posted May 25, 2013@Sickagp Yup, however please wait until the next ChestShop version - there will be an official way to do it.
@axeblade346 Unfortunately, this is not possible in Bukkit. I've tried, sorry.

Posted May 24, 2013Good day.
I have a little "bug" with your plugin. Can you please make it also trigger the chest update. Atm it doesn`t change the single strength of trap chest.
A simple way to test / explain it is. A chest , block with redstone lamp above , comparator with block above , block with redstone wire above.
if the trapped chest has more than 1 block in the redstone lamp is on
If the trapped chest has more than empty in the redstone lamp is off
I was hoping to use it to make a shop that shows you when an item is out of stock, Opening the chest and changing the contents works , but buying and selling doesn`t,

Posted May 22, 2013@Endless123 Yeah, I see, however as you said - it requires a lot of space on the sign. Really, Notch?

Posted May 22, 2013Feature Request:
Would it be possible to bring some color into chest shop?
Maybe a little check - if there is enough space on the sign to add color codes, then add colors to the item price. so when a player is seeing a shop - he would see "oh green numbers, that means i will gain money! (sell stuff)" or "oh red money - i will lose money here (buy stuff)"
Do you know what i mean? :)
Of course just with a config if people want it - they can turn it on/off inside the config.yml

Posted May 20, 2013@mrmag518 Firstly, it appears that you have both log to file and log to console turned on. Java's console is not the fastest ever, so turning off log_to_console might improve your performance a bit.
Other than that, I have no idea - it might be just the fact that ChestShop is modular now, so the speed might have decreased a bit.
Are you experiencing any lags or are you just worried about the timings?
