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 Jul 12, 2013We want to create a new world. We have built a huge marketplace with lots of adminshop chests on our old map. Is it possible to copy / transfer the marketplace with all those adminshop chests from the old map to the new map?

Posted Jul 11, 2013Hey sorry for my bad English :/ Serial1990 mean this: you open a shop with a certain Price (a number 520x,xx and a number 832xx.96 / the correct Numbers can i send you) and the item you will sell is matter, the Number as Price is one Part of this Bug! The another part for the Bug is that the Player will buy the item for one of the 2 certain numbers and he have exactly the balance of this Price then can he buy the item but no money will be deducted from his (buyers) Balance. The User that this sell nevertheless gets the money. The 2 User can Bug a lot of Money! i hope you can understand this a little.

Posted Jul 10, 2013Any chance we can have "Bonemeal" work on signs? "White Ink Sac", in hindsight, sounds like a racial slur. :L

Posted Jul 10, 2013@kofkin99 You need an economy plugin for that, such as iConomy, CraftConomy3, etc.
@Bambucha91 Ok, I'll test it, please create a ticket for that.
@xXDuckHunterXx2 You probably haven't got Vault installed.
@ghost76549 Do /iteminfo -> note the ID.
@IAnon Kinda, however it's a work-around - create an account that has a lot of money, create shops using that account.
@Wolf0fmusic Yup!
@Serial1990 Sorry, but I don't understand.
@KelvinKam I'll try! Please create ticket for that.
@MrEkinoxx @A7xConnor
COULD YOU PLEASE READ ;_;
The bug has been fixed for over... 6 months. It's not my fault you're using an outdated ChestShop version.

Posted Jul 10, 2013This is not working on 1.6.1 or the newest 1.6.2 for me. I'm guessing it broke because of the new items that were added? Some users said it was working for them but that new items added in 1.6 could not be sold/bought. Any help here? Seems its fine for some and crashes for some, that including me.

Found the answer. do /iteminfo with your RPG item in hand. I did this for my wand and got Stick#2. So i made a chestshop sign with Stick#2 and it sold the stick. I can now sell these items with chest shop!
