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!

So, with the latest version 3.7.3, if I only want people to be able to setup and use shops in WorldGuard region that has a certain flag in it, I would setup my config values like this?
WORLDGUARD_INTEGRATION: true?
WORLDGUARD_USE_FLAG: true
WORLDGUARD_USE_PROTECTION: false
Then in every region I want them to be able to setup shops in I set the region flag "allow-shop" to allow?

@Acrobot
With spigot it is possible to modify hoppers' speed (less events per second). ;)

Posted Jan 17, 2014@Seaboiii That's not really what I meant :) You should put the special id (like 123#k) on the sign.
@AlphaFarer Seems like there's a contraption that uses hoppers on your server, and there's a lot of InventoryMoveEvents (events which detect whether the chest is not protected). I can't really do anything about it :/

Yes, it didnt work. I do think something is making it say "out of stock". For example, my players are trying to sell guns (Crackshot). So, they are selling this Shotgun named Winchester Shotgun (Stone Hoe). Therefore, my players wrote Stone Hoe in the last line and it says "Shop successfully created". However, when other players try to buy it, it says "out of stock" even though there are shotguns in the chest. Any possible workaround?

Posted Jan 16, 2014@Sprunkas Well, ETA is "when it's done". It can already be made by third parties, as ChestShop has an API for other plugins to use.

Use a proper permissions per-world manager like zPermissions. :)

Posted Jan 16, 2014Hello, i'm trying to use this on a faction server in order to have a more regulated economy. Would it be possible to add multiworld support so that you can disable the creation of shops in a specific world entirely? like /cs deny [world]

Posted Jan 16, 2014My player seems like they can't sell items with Name and Lore changed. Is that a problem? Is there any workaround so that my players can Sell items which is Named and Lored.
