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 Apr 20, 2014Potions stack when purchasing. I cant say what version this started in however every time someone purchases a potion if they have one in their inventory it stacks it. This of course is being exploited. This has been an issue since 1.6 on and off however I am finally getting to where I need to block it. The logical solution was to block the ability to sell potions. However, I cant seem to get the permission to work in pex i have done the following.
- ChestShop.shop.create.*
- -ChestShop.shop.create.373.16421
Which should negate the ability to sell this particular potion but its not working. I also looked to see if there was a node for potions but you have not created one. Any help regarding this issue would be appreciated. I am satisified with blocking the ability to sell them but them not stacking at all would be ideal.
Quickly to review what happens.
Create shop with one potion for sale, full or not full inventory buy 1 potion, then buy another it stacks with the first.

Posted Apr 20, 2014@real5lim5hady5555 Unfortunately, I cannot conclude anything from the pie chart - I would require at least a timing report. It might be connected to either your economy plugin struggling or you having some hopper-intensive structures on your server.

Posted Apr 20, 2014Hi, for some reason chest shop is eating up my servers ram and causing lag. Any idea why?
http://goo.gl/kxTF6a That is a link to a pie chart that shows how much ram each plugin is using and chest shop is consistently at 40%.
Please help, thanks.

Try looking in the server log/console (in case you're the owner) - From what I recall, there's output from the plugin which shows who used ChestShop.

Posted Apr 19, 2014Dude do u got some permission set-up on this type of shop? cuz some players are using this to cheat up on our server. :( pls help dude. Sign format:
[Playername] [amount] 1EB10000000 [Itemid]
- this chest shop does not require any item inside chest. this will allow the user to give free items to the buyers or he might use 2 accounts 1 chestshop maker 1 buyer from his chestshop maker.
with this he can generate his own items for free
Any solution? or any way to track everyone who uses this? CS version : 3.7.5

Kind of what soaring is saying. I can do things properly as an op, but when players create try to buy or sell, they don't get any messages. They dont' get the items they try to buy or sell as well or any no permission messages, they have permissions btw.

Posted Apr 19, 2014I am having trouble with the shops. When I place a sign and put in the correct information, nothing happens and the sign just gets placed with the stuff I put in, but I do not get the chat notification "Shop successfully created!" and the shop does not work. I have the current 1.7.2 update.

Posted Apr 19, 2014@Minikrafteris And how have you configured your player permissions? By default, everyone can use shops, so you had to disable this permission in your plugin.
@KevinEssence What happens when players try to buy from a shop?

bukkit version is 1.7.2-R0 (#3072), minecraft server version 1.7.9
Is this a chestshop error, or must this be installed by bukkit?
Edit: ChestShop v3.7.11-DEV fixed it.

Posted Apr 18, 2014@Minikrafteris Well, probably you did not have the permissions to create admin shops -> ChestShop.admin.
