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 Aug 26, 2013@xCyanide Hmm... No idea. You should use '&' in your local.yml file, though, instead of '§', if you aren't already.

Posted Aug 26, 2013The color codes are not translating. The color codes translate correctly when I am on my local server, but when I am on a host the color codes don't translate correctly. Does anyone know why?

Posted Aug 25, 2013@broluigi Oops! I'm sorry. I really should have worded that better.
If the option is set to true, it "IGNORES_CREATIVE_MODE" = ignores clicks from people in creative mode. If set to false, people with any gamemode will be able to click.
You should set that to "true". And, if you'd be so kind, could you create a ticket that will remind me to fix the wording?
@UberDarkArdvark That is really weird - it shouldn't happen, as ChestShop will block all block placements when right clicking the sign.

Posted Aug 24, 2013Just curious if I am the only one with this issue.. but in my Chest Shop 3.46, a player is often able to place a block when right clicking a ChestShop sign. Not always, but some times I will find blocks placed in front of signs in my worldguard protected area. Logblock doesnt even detect it is there because the block shouldnt be there anyhow..

Posted Aug 24, 2013@JonnyPaw That depends on your economy plugin. ChestShop doesn't handle those commands.
@minesphere Not sure about that - you could use a plugin that grants/removes permissions based on player's location (if one exists).
@Theplaygame7 You should add a line that says:
- -ChestShop.shop.create.*

Posted Aug 22, 2013I use Factions 2.0.1 MCore 6.4.X with ChestShop Plugin -> any way to make a "marketplace" where players can place chests and signs in SafeZone?
Or can I make a "peacefull" warzone where players cannot destroy but place chests and signs?
ps: i know this is more Factions related - but perhaps someone has running these two plugins together?

Posted Aug 20, 2013@rsod If I won't implement this patch, people will complain that "it's broken" and has "dupe glitches". That's not the only patch for CraftBukkit - CraftBukkit developers don't really care about glitches (as proven by this: https://github.com/Bukkit/CraftBukkit/pull/799 - only after A YEAR the pull request has been revived.)
And, to be honest, this was already fixed - https://bukkit.atlassian.net/browse/BUKKIT-3021
So something broke that... again.
There is no check if a player has *any* inventory opened. I DO check, however, if the player is not chatting.
@M1ntcrafter SFD Economy.
@Bana0615 I see. I'll work on the integration soon.

1) first of all, I don't see any reason why you should implement patch for craftbukkit bug in your plugin, which have nothing related to patch bugs. Implement then anti-fly and orebfuscator too?
2) before closing inventory check if player has an inventory opened.

Posted Aug 20, 2013Hi,
I am using this plugin in conjunction with SFD Economy. But when players buy stuff and the shop owner is offline then no money is deposited into their account.
Is this a ChestShop or a SFD Economy bug?
Thanks

Posted Aug 19, 2013You should add a feature so you can allow other ppl to open your boxes so if you share a store with other people they can refill it for you...ex. im in a faction and we cant make a store because only one of us fill the chests
