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 Sep 6, 2013@Heqaiunushema Vault is totally unrelated to PermissionsEx. Vault is something like a "linker" between ChestShop and economical plugins, whereas PEX handles permissions.

Posted Sep 5, 2013@Zombica09 Yup, 0.15 (or just '.15') and 1.00 (or just '1') will be fine.
@Heqaiunushema You need Vault for EssentialsEco to work.
@Skipper98 How are you creating the admin shop? What does the sign look like? Have you changed the config file?

You must be spelling it wrong - are you sure you're typing AdminShop or Admin Shop? Or, did you change anything in the config to change it from AdminShop to anything else?

Posted Sep 4, 2013Greetings. I have a Question, I'm running Essentials Eco, and I'm trying to use this plugin with it. The weird thing is, when a player clicks on the sign, it say they don't have enough money to do so, even if they have 1000 currency. Is there something I'm missing, or doing wrong, any guidance will be great. Thanks.

Posted Sep 4, 2013Hello, i would like some assistance please and thank you.
On my server, i have 2 currency types. So when a player types "/money" they would get something like 15 Silver 00 Copper.
The Question: How would I sell an item in a ChestShop for copper only. Or for Silver? Would i have to write 0.15 for copper and 1.00 for silver?
Please help. Thank you!
EDIT: Forgot to mention my economy plugin is CraftConomy. The latest one.

Posted Sep 2, 2013@kgame It should do that automatically. Isn't that the case? Have you set the server_economy_account setting in the config?

Posted Sep 1, 2013@Loki12369 Custom flags plugin is surely a good plugin, but it isn't integrated with ChestShop. You need to turn on WORLDGUARD_INTEGRATION in the config. Also, be forewarned that it is EXPERIMENTAL and your flags might suddenly disappear.
@dagepyro Try doing /iteminfo while holding the armour.
@Elbobtons Use an OddItem plugin to do that.
