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 Dec 23, 2013I have a general 1.7 upgrade question. If you are on the 1.6 version and have signs that show item IDs rather than names, will these signs automatically update to show names or will any of the signs with IDs need to be manually changed? Just trying to get a handle on how much work might be needed for the market and server shop.
Thanks!

Posted Dec 21, 2013@Dubi01 It sounds like your ChestShop plugin got corrupted. Try re-downloading it.
@mmuziek Look. I am not online 24/7, so please, bear in mind that I have some private life as well.
@NobleStrike Have you actually tried updating?

Posted Dec 19, 2013The Plugin doesn't work on my Server.
I have the newest iConomy, Vault and http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/chestshop/files/66-v3-7-2/
If I want to create a ChestShop it doesn't register it as a ChestShop.
And if I have a Item in my Hand and type /iteminfo it does not explain me the ID.
PS: I have the new 1.7.2 beta build

Posted Dec 19, 2013@MadeInAMinute Custom shop names?
@GodWar101 Yeah, I actually realised that when I helped with this "bug" - which was just a result of me being a retard while commenting the values ._.
@ViscousSummer88 Huh, this seems weird. Mind PMing me your server's IP?
@mmuziek Unfortunately, that's not really up to me - I use Curse's localization system. Alternatively, you can just submit your translation (so, the local.yml file, preferably on pastebin.com) to me, and I'll submit it here:

Posted Dec 19, 2013Acrobot, this post doesn't make sense: http://grab.by/sYTk, you need this setting as TRUE in order to disable creative interaction with ChestShop. You should make this setting more clear, this could really affect many servers with the wrong setting :)

Posted Dec 17, 2013can you please allow so a hopper can go under the chest and suck the items from the chest? right now if you have a hopper under it it won't do anything.
i'm making an automatic casino where you need to have a hopper under the chestshop so people can claim their prize and the prize can return to the dropper.

To buy you must click with the right mouse button, to sell you have to use the left button. Maybe that is the reason. Your Syntax on the sign is correct.
