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 15, 2013@OwnerJutKip What "hooper" glitch?
@Bbcsto13 Probably somebody tries to steal your items out of the chest with a hopper?
@KrokPet That's the same item. That's just how Bukkit team named it.

Posted Sep 14, 2013@GoopyComet Look. I am not aware of any glitch in ChestShop. Are you sure you are using the latest ChestShop version? All the videos depict old ChestShop versions. Do you know of any glitch in the latest version? If so, please PM me.

You need to be aware, though, that it has been pretty much abandoned at this point.

Posted Sep 11, 2013@Cedevita320 Are you holding a block in your hand? If so, Minecraft (since version 1.2.x) doesn't send any packets if the block cannot be placed (and you're trying to place a block in the same spot your character is in).

Posted Sep 9, 2013@Bodyash Hmm, I've no idea - it should work fine. You should probably ask PEX developers, as I don't handle permissions in ChestShop.
@dagepyro Can't create this type of shop = you haven't got the permissions needed to create a shop/you are trying to create 2 shops on 1 block and you haven't modified config.yml file.
@RittoHydrowTitan Are you sure you are using Bukkit?
@wubbagubbaa That's what I'm trying to do, and that's why the updates have been taking so long to release.

Posted Sep 8, 2013Love the plugin, but I think it'd be nice to have a command implemented like /sales or something to see what's been bought recently from your ChestShops. Just an idea.
