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 Nov 19, 2013@ozenc123 I just told you. You need to go into the regional settings (as I'm fairly sure you are using a Windows PC) and change the locale from Turkish to English.

Posted Nov 19, 2013@Arrxzon Ah, sorry, I misunderstood it for a feature request. ChestShop only locks chests that are attached to a shop (this can be turned off altogether in the config)
@ozenc123 I'm sorry, but the issue is deeper than in ChestShop. It's caused by your locale setting in windows. Try setting your region to English and try again.
@JohOply What do you mean by 'doesn't work'?
@FrancescoDS That would be an issue with Essentials, as I only check if the player buying the item (in this case, the shop) has enough money.

Posted Nov 16, 2013@Arrxzon Why should it? It's not a chest locking plugin.
@ravenclawnc12 Do /iteminfo, place the item code on the sign.

i would just get the plugin lwc and since it auto locks the chest you dont have to worry about it and thats what i do so when people make these shops they dont steal or you could place a another chest above it lock that and put this sign ON the chest because i saw this 1 dude on my server do that but he didnt know we had lwc :P

@stgram Well, it seems like a nice idea, and actually now it wouldn't be that hard to implement, HOWEVER this would make scams possible. Example - broken tools. If you put Iron Sword:* players wouldn't realise that they could get a damaged sword. I'll be probably introducing something nice soon. But for now, I'm waiting for 1.7 CB builds.

Posted Nov 11, 2013Is it possible to fill a chest with random fireworks and then sell them? Before you ask, yeah, there is a plugin: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/random-fireworks/ Now, I fill a chest with such, but a sign with 401 item id wont sell... Maybe introduce regex, Fireworks:* ?

Test it for yourself with the latest version of ChestShop and Essentials, probably to do with ChestShops priorities.
