ChestShop (iConomyChestShop)

Table of Contents

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!

Translations

The latest builds include translations for many languages. They are shipped with the plugin. If you want to help out translating messages check out the ChestShop Crowdin project!

Commands

/iteminfo - Get information about the item in your hand
/iteminfo <id/name> - Get information about the item with the given id or name
/shopinfo - Get information about the looked-at shop
/csgive <itemcode> [<amount>] [<player>] - Give item with a unique ChestShop code to a player
/cstoggle - Toggle buy and sell notificiation messages
/chestshop version - Display the ChestShop version
/chestshop reload - Reload the ChestShop config and translation messages. (This might not reload some features)
/csaccess - Toggles ability to buy/sell on shops while having admin/access permissions and normally being ignored

Permission nodes

	Description
ChestShop.shop.*	shop creation and buying/selling - it contains:
	ChestShop.shop.create.*	create all types of shops
	ChestShop.shop.buy	buy any item from shop
	ChestShop.shop.sell	sell any item to shop
ChestShop.mod	open any shop chest
ChestShop.admin	open any shop chest, destroy stores, create (admin) shops

A full list of permission nodes

Configurations

Besides defining which shops a player can create via permission you can also configure almost any aspect about the plugin in the automatically generated yml files. The more general settings are in the config.yml (with explaining comments), setting minimum/maximum prices is done via the priceLimits.yml and setting up admin shop discounts is done via the discounts.yml.

Please make sure to look through the generated configurations and see if the default settings are to your liking and fit your setup! Some of them (e.g. the IGNORE_ACCESS_PERMS) might result in shops seemingly not work for you if you are op or are in the wrong WorldGuard region, check that before reporting an issue!

Useful tips by players

	Alternative price table

Compatibility

ChestShop directly hooks into the following plugins to provide additional functionality:

AuthMe (and forks like AuthMe Reloaded)
WorldGuard
Residence
LWC (and forks like LWCX and Modern-LWC)
Lockette
LockettePro
Deadbolt
SimpleChestLock
OddItem
Heroes
ShowItem

Metrics

This resource sends metrics data to McStats and bStats. You can opt-out of metrics for all plugins on your server by changing the settings in the PluginMetrics/config.yml and the bStats/config.yml file if you don't want any data to be send.

More info

Even more information can be found in the old plugin thread on the forums.

Sorry everyone, I was on a trip!

@tanki123 Actually, it shouldn't do that - it checks if the item ID you entered can actually be changed into a longer name - if that's the same item.

Which ChestShop version are you using?

@GamerKid82299 Unfortunately, not yet!

@HansaHalim1515 Well, please do. Pastebin/pastie?

@Johnjay2000 Read the FAQ.

@Toaster_of_Ovens Have you updated ChestShop?

I got a question for you Acrobat. I run a Pixelmon server, you know that pokemon mod. I use bukkitforge for 1.5.2 because it has not been ported to bukkit yet which is saddening. I currently have ChestShops installed yet I ran into a certain problem. Before I updated my server to 1.5.2 your plugin was working swell. If I sold it item to a shop, it was sold. If I bought an item, I got the item. So I updated my server to 1.5.2 since Pixelmon updated. So I made a new world and set up some shops. Thats when I noticed something. I could sell to the shops, yet the items would not disappear. I would only gain money but would never lose the item. Then I got curious. So I set up a shop to buy items yet I never got the items, but the money was deducted. We managed to fix buying items but we cant seem to fix the selling of items. Could we get any help on this? If I cant fix this then my server will have to go down :C

I have encountered a problem while attempting to us it with mods. I want to sell the twilight forest charms of life and keeping. However when i input the id into the sign, the last line always revert to the item name which is "Twilightforest item CharmOfLife1". This name is too long for the sign to hold and it only show "Twilightforest" on the last line. Thus on every server restart, the server looks for the closest relevant name of "twilightforest" which is "twilightforest tile tflog"

How do i circumvent this to force item ids to show on the sign? Perhaps change the name of item?

@Sickagp Redstone Lamp - sure, however 124 is unobtainable by normal means, right?

@Tetdoss Nope, sorry - this is to retain compatibility with other plugins using sings, usually with "[Something]" on their first line.

@ProjectInfinity Yup!

@CubieX 3.46? IIRC, that was version 3.50 - and it should save ALL the metadata - it's all serialized. Have you tried doing /iteminfo while holding the special item?

@NemesisMate That's for economy only. As I said - ChestShop.name.userName will be your friend.

@ProjectInfinity ShopCreatedEvent - nope. However, you can listen for PreShopCreationEvent and do anything you want with it.

@GaminglikeaMAN No problem! :) Glad it works for you!

@Acrobot The changelog of V3.46 says, it can now handle items with MetaData.

But it seems like MetaData that was set for the item by using .setDisplayName() and .setLore() are not handled. If I for example want to sell a special XP bottle with custom DisplayName and Lore, the buyer only gets the base item. The DisplayName and Lore of the item in stock is lost.

Would it be possible to add support for this kind of MetaData?

This would be awesome!

Does ShopCreatedEvent handle failed shop signs too? I want to allow a custom currency, but if my input is gonna cause the shop to fail creation and there's no event to overrule that, it kinda limits me with what I can do.
