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 May 15, 2014@krisser143 Hmm... As I said before, I had a 1.7.9 version available for download however I was threatened that if I don't remove a link to it (it was a dev version, hosted on an external server, since the auto-updater would automatically download it even when it was incompatible with 1.7.2), ChestShop would be made invisible until I removed the link. Please contact BukkitDev, or @mbaxter, who insisted on removing the external links.
@kdthehun Sorry, but it is PEX. It is hard to handle the permissions, however I rely on Bukkit's built-in implementation. Read the FAQ if you want to disable the defaults.

Posted May 15, 2014Any 1.7.9 version comming up? I don't know if it's safe to use this plugin on a 1.7.9 server.

Posted May 15, 2014Still having Permission issues. I'm 100% positive it's NOT PEX issue as it handles negated permission without a problem for other plugins.
Any ideas?

Posted May 14, 2014@LordKainzo Oh, that would be great! I don't have a Jenkins because of lack of funds, mainly :p
@cuddyier Seems like the currency events take a bit of time, which means your economy plugin might be struggling.

Posted May 13, 2014@ItIsMeMyself I try not to complicate the matters too much - the system is only to be used internally, so the users should not be required (or even able) to configure where the data is stored. For now, I included a fix for that in a new version of ChestShop, however due to BukkitDev rules I cannot post them anywhere... (I was threatened by @mbaxter that he will have to remove the project from listings if I do not remove the external links - which was the one to the dev build).

Well, I contacted my hosting service and they said that it is a plugin, same bull crap they always say. I guess I'll have to wait until that day that the problem gets fixed by itself, or if ChestShop adds MySQL support.

In regards to the recently fixed infinite items glitch, is there any way this could be written into a 1.6.4 version, or has the code changed too significantly for that?
Lotta modded servers out there suffering under this exploit who love your plugin too much to let it go :(
Edit: Or do the newer versions work with 1.6.4?

Posted May 11, 2014@ItIsMeMyself Unfortunately, I am not a bit more knowledgeable about the reason for the hungups than you. Yes, it does indeed sound like a problem with your hosting service, possibly throttling or totally preventing certain processes from executing.
@CraftPimp ._. please update.
@Tallcraft Hmm, you could try updating Spigot, but other than that, I have no clue. If it is still not working, could you PM me your users.db file?

I'll do that, but what do you mean my system's SQLite library has "hung up". I've had problems with other plugins using my system's SQLite library since I updated to 1.7.9. For example, GameModeInventories would take a lot of time to load too, and it crashed the server every time someone logged in. Give Anything Listener would receive the votes, but it was clear that they were not registered correctly. I am not hosting my server from my computer, so I had to contact my hosting service for help, since that sounds like it has nothing to do with Bukkit and stuff.

Posted May 11, 2014@ItIsMeMyself And still nothing? Hmm... Could you try deleting the users.db file first, and if it still doesn't work, (backup first and then) delete the whole plugins/ChestShop/ folder.
