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

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 Dec 2, 2013Seeing this error when I do /csgive 276#7 http://paste2.org/cbWsL9NB
Also - on updating from 3.66 to 3.70 - it appears no users are getting refunds properly and I have ensured there is a currency in the config.

Posted Dec 2, 2013I put a shop down with essentials as my economy system, and I could not buy from it.
I made sure I gave myself $1000000000, and the price was 5, but it did not let me buy.
Edit: I do not have Vault, is this required to use any economy system other than iConomy?

You need the ChestShop.shop.create.* node to be able to create shops.

Posted Dec 2, 2013is it normal, that even if i have shop refund price set to 5.0, I don't get any money when destroying shop? I have shop creation price set to 5.0 and it works fine, but when I destroy the shop, I don't get any money.

Perhaps they try to buy with a block in hand, and the right click places the block, but the shop is protected and the protection plugins returns the lack of permission error? This shouldnt affect your plugin though.

Posted Dec 1, 2013@davidp5118 You cannot build here? That's actually a new one, there's probably some other plugin interfering with ChestShop, though I don't know which one.

Posted Dec 1, 2013No matter where an Admin Shop sign is placed, when a player tries to but from it is says "You cannot build here!" whether it is in the protected shop, or even just in the complete wild. I have the ChestShop.shop.buy node in my PermissionsEX file as well.

I'm not sure whether it's Optifine or an other mod, but there's one that optimizes signs' performance (part of is, the text doesn't render when you're far enough). Also try to turning on advanced opengl in options.
