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 28, 2013@mcbukkitmc Already possible. Use /iteminfo, put the ID on the sign.
@TNTUP Well, unfortunately signs slow down Minecraft - and that's true. I cannot do anything about it, blame Notch :P
@Awsmpossum1313 Unfortunately, I believe it might be a problem with Spigot. Everything works fine with the latest CraftBukkit version, and there's not 1.7 version of CraftBukkit yet, so I cannot make my plugin work with 1.7 properly.

Posted Nov 27, 2013I am having a problem with a few players where they can not create shops. Its not a permissions issue it simply leaves the top line of the shop blank instead of filling in their name. I am using the spigot 1.7 wrapper which may be the issue, we have also found that destroying chest shops doesnt give a refund any longer (I can live with this). I realize we are using a dev. build of bukkit but am hoping this is a problem that seems familiar and you can suggest a way to fix it. I have tried deleting the players .dat file not sure if there is something else i can do.

@Darlext No problem! And sorry for the fact that a moderator has removed your translation, however, unfortunately, BukkitDev doesn't allow people to put links in the comments.

Posted Nov 24, 2013@Darlext You might need to encode the file as UTF-8 on your local PC. You can do that with, for example, Notepad.
@jellywatxher There is a shop protection by default. To turn it off, set: TURN_OFF_SIGN_PROTECTION: true TURN_OFF_HOPPER_PROTECTION: true USE_BUILT_IN_PROTECTION: false

Posted Nov 23, 2013@JohOply - Do you observe any errors on startup / while using commands and signs? - Are you sure you actually have ChestShop installed (it happened to me a few times when I forgot to install it :p) - Could you try re-downloading the plugin?

Posted Nov 21, 2013Is it also possible to somehow use physical currency, such as gold ingots. Since I want to keep iConomy seperated from these shops.

Posted Nov 21, 2013@stgram Unfortunately, such a check doesn't exist in Bukkit :/ That would mean that it would have to be done manually, and I prefer not to (because server implementation can change).

I say, add a check to verify that the meta value is a bonus to the item, and not a representative of damage dealt to the item, and allow all goods. Idk if that can be done automatically, or you should list a bunch of items, but seems like a plan.
Pff, tell me about it, I have a server officially starting with 1.7, and the players are already getting annoyed by the beta...
