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 Feb 17, 2012Is there any chance of getting a config setting so that I as a server admin can require my players to only have the items they have for sale in a chestshop? I set up WG regions in a city and let people make shops there, but people just use the shops for storage of their own items, and I'd really appreciate being able to fight that.

Posted Feb 17, 2012Hello,
First of all, great plugin! Of course.
I have a request. And I hope you can add it.
I'd like to have some configurable tax.
Like, if a player buys something from a shop... X percent of the profits go to the server owner.
Sound cool?

Posted Feb 17, 2012@Hangar Hmm, my 3.35 jar matches the .zip .jar, even the "modified" date. I'm pretty sure that either will work fine.
The only thing I can think of is a broken download, you could re-download it then.

Posted Feb 16, 2012My "jar only" 3.35 doesn't seem to match the jar that came out of the 335 .zip file (doing a file comparison). I'm sure there's a good explanation but I'm not sure which I should use.
Thanks.

Posted Feb 16, 2012@halorrr Well, you can give a faction
ChestShop.name.factionName permission
where factionName is the faction economy account. They will be able to create shops for their faction.

Posted Feb 16, 2012Is there a way to integrate ChestShop with factions, so instead of the money going directly to the player, it can go to a faction's bank account directly?

Good idea - problem is how to find two players form a sign, without storing extra information in ChestShop.
If you just use the name of a BankAccount (i.e. have ChestShop support bank accounts like "$account1", then the money would go to their account and the players decide how to share - Problem might by whom to give access to the chest (without further protection plugins), because the economy API needs to allow for looking up players for a given account name then.
Other attempt is to use some Group or team plugin that ChestShop interfaces to to find out whose accounts should benefit, the syntax would then use something like [Groupname] instead of the player name. That too is realistic, if a team/party plugin supports looking up the names for a given team/party name.

Posted Feb 15, 2012Suggestion.... Let the shop share the money between 2 people. So 2 ppl can own the shop if u know what i mean..
Like if a guy buys an item for 60 then it will share it 50/50 to both players that owns the shop...
I guess it will need to have some bankaccount thingy then..
So we can type the bankaccount name instead of the names for the players.

Grr... how exactly is a shop registered? is it simply by the existence of a sign? (eg, not the creation/edit of the sign, or the destruction of the sign). If it is just a live check on a sign, then it takes away a lot of possibilities for any workaround .... :/ I'll check with towny if they have any possible ways around it.
Thanks!
