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!

Bud, you need to fix the problem, we can't sell or buy anything without anything in hand when we have perms, it's been reported numerous times, I use everything up-to-date, nothing else to say but just fix it.

Posted May 6, 2014@jet315 ChestShop/CraftBukkit version? Also, are you using Vault?
@ItIsMeMyself Unfortunately, ChestShop does not convert anything into UUID automatically, since it used no databases until now. However, once the player joins, ChestShop saves his UUID-PlayerName pair to the database if it does not exist. It appears like the SQLite library of your system has totally hung up, and I have no idea why it would do that (the log does not specify any error - it just points to the SQLite library hanging). Could you tell me what system are you running? Also, have you tried updating Spigot?

@jet315
Take a look at the error ChestShop gives me before it crashes the server every time a player joins the server: http://pastebin.com/Tpvr9uLn
Full discussion can be found here: http://www.spigotmc.org/threads/spigot-1-7-9-crash-on-player-join.17966/
I am using ChestShop 3.7.11-Dev and Spigot 1.7.9 (#1459). Should I downgrade? It still takes like 3 minutes to load on server startup.

Posted May 5, 2014For some reason some players cant create shops or buy from them.
Every group is given the ChestShop.shop.* permission on my server. Most players from all permissions groups use the chest shops fine however for some when they interact with a chest it says they dont have enough money, even though they do.
For these players they also cannot create a chest shop. When they try the name line always goes blank upon finishing a sign.
I have tried giving these users specific permissions. I have tried deleting these users from the permissions file. I have tried changing the users group. I have tried deleting the users data from essentials and the server. None of these have worked. Really strange issue.

Posted May 4, 2014@anzeana Please update Spigot.
@RenHax I am sorry, but I seriously loathe someone insinuating something like that. If you have actually researched for A MOMENT, you would know that the exploit has been fixed for over a month in ChestShop 3.7.8 and it IS NOT my fault that you do not keep your plugins up-to-date.
@redikus Which ChestShop/CraftBukkit versions are you running? Are you using Vault?

Posted May 4, 2014@fatguy227 What do you mean by "not working"?
@ItIsMeMyself Huh. Could you try turning off the statistics logging? Go to plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml and turn opt-out to true. It's possible that your internet provider is throttling the connection to metrics and even though they should be async, it's still better to check.

"Just works"! Don't worry about your economy plugin, ChestShop supports all of them - iConomy, BOSEconomy and more - you need Vault to use other economy plugins).
