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 Feb 27, 2014I'm on a server that's using this and it works great, for the most part.
One issue I'm having it attempting to offer written books. I've tried labeling the chestshop Written Book, which is what shows with /iteminfo, but it consistently says "Out of Stock" when users come to purchase, even though there is inventory.
Any suggestions?

Posted Feb 24, 2014@euQsei Have you tried reading the FAQ? >.>
@ethan588 Honestly, no idea. If it worked and suddenly stopped, then you should probably try recalling what changes in your computer have you made since the last time it worked.

hehe =) yeah i second that! linux's open jdk works just fine.. I would actually reconsider installing linux on your mac.. Maverick has actually corrupted my java files on the server i went back to mountain lion using oracle's java (which did not cause any problems), but i finally switched to linux (gentoo) because i still have a better performance on linux using open JDK.. macs suck.. at this point i would say:
macs aren't anymore what they never used to be!

Posted Feb 22, 2014@Jodoka Right-clicking the sign should always work, however you may be creating invalid signs. If that's the case, please download Oracle's Java, not Apple's one.

Posted Feb 20, 2014@ethan588 Download the Oracle's Java from here: http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_mac.xml
("Download latest Java")
And it should fix the problem.
@zempire2010mjk This is possible to do as an addon to ChestShop, so if you know a bit programming, it'll be easy to accomplish.

Posted Feb 19, 2014While I don't think it is possible atm with this plugin what do you think the possibility of adding the ability to flag a shop as "Random" (or something like that) for line 4 so that you can put whatever odds an ends in the single or double chest with one common price?

Posted Feb 19, 2014@SiDzej Hmm, what exactly do you mean? You can turn off the hopper protection in the config. Won't that work for you?
@woodfin15 Unfortunately, it seems like the Java version by default installed on Macs doesn't work properly with Minecraft. Try using Oracle's Java:
http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_mac.xml
@ethan588 Same as above - it appears that it won't do anything.
@LordKainzo Ah :/ I'll try to just suppress it, however it's not the best method - I won't be able to know what's wrong. I still am not. Are you using any item mods? Anything like that?
@AlphaFarer Currency events take a lot of time in your case. Which economical plugin are you running? Have you tried cleaning the database?
