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!

- /iteminfo <id/name> - Get information about the item with the given id or name
- /shopinfo - Get information about the looked-at shop
- /csgive <itemcode> [<amount>] [<player>] - Give item with a unique ChestShop code to a player
- /cstoggle - Toggle buy and sell notificiation messages
- /chestshop version - Display the ChestShop version
- /chestshop reload - Reload the ChestShop config and translation messages. (This might not reload some features)
- /csaccess - Toggles ability to buy/sell on shops while having admin/access permissions and normally being ignored

Posted Apr 15, 2014Nothing worked with the new build.
Not Admin Shops
Not PlayerShops (Even after they logged in)
I didn't even intentionally update, (guess it auto updated) now nothing works.. Even for OP's
Stupid auto updates, guess I missed shutting that one off. Didn't realize it was even on , I kept trying to go back to the older version and it kept installing the broke version.
Finally turned of the auto-updates went back to the Apr 1 build, and everything back to normal. Whew...
I'm a prison server so Admin Shops are pretty much needed.

Posted Apr 14, 2014Hello, when updating to the latest version 3.7.9-DEV, as many people have said, no shops are working at all. And yes, the players have logged in. When someone tries to buy/sell/click a chest shop(admin or player), it gives this error in the console: http://pastebin.com/KLTEZbaW
Any thoughts/fixes?

Posted Apr 15, 2014Sorry, it seems like the auto-updater screwed up and downloaded an 1.7.8 version. It is incompatible with <1.7.8 versions of CraftBukkit.

Posted Apr 14, 2014@fffizzz Have you read the disclaimer? The shops WILL NOT WORK until their owner joins the server after the update.
@FadedPrison What happens when others try to use shops?

Posted Apr 13, 2014I am pretty sure it is the permissions, but I am not sure. OP's can use shops, but others cannot!

Posted Apr 9, 2014@Delirax Nope, this is unintentional and is being researched.
@cookiemonsta54 I'm sorry, however I cannot confirm it.
@james7482 I see. You could create a ticket for it.
@kill_da_trolls Yes, it was fixed as soon as I received information about it.
@slayhaxzor Are you using a Mac? If so, the latest version of Apple's Java is buggy. Install Oracle's java.

@hutt132 Hmm, why exactly would it be needed? It is often more convenient for me to check the /csversion of a server I'm working on resolving a problem.
@jacob5jac You mean the SERVER_ECONOMY_ACCOUNT config option?
@wesley272 https://github.com/Acrobot/ChestShop-3
Yup, I already started working on it, however believe me - it is going to be hard. For almost 4 years we were relying on the user names as one thing that won't change and suddenly, it all changes.

Posted Apr 8, 2014Is this plugin going to be updated to 1.8 and the UUID system? If so, will there be a way for us to convert the already existing shops to the UUID system?

Posted Apr 7, 2014does there happen to be a way to make it so when players buy from an admin shop and i have an account linked to the admin shops, can i make it so when a player buys items it TAKES money from the admin shop's balance and when they sell items it ADDS to the admin shop's balance
(i want to make it so players have to be actively selling to the admin shop in order to be able to buy from the admin shop)

Posted Apr 7, 2014I have a problem with ChestShop. Nothing happens when i create the sign over the chest. I also tried creating the sign with the exact same text as in the example. No text in chat is shown, nothing happens.
