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 27, 2014I apologize if this is posted somewhere that I couldn't locate. Is it possible to have shop signs display the item name when they are created if they are modded items, rather than the modded items id?
example: FireArrow rather than x31737

@Nefretum Try doing /iteminfo while holding the item you want to sell.
@thatguyerik Well, since Maverics Apple's Java is inserting illegal characters while using arrow keys. Please tell them to download Oracle's Java:

Posted May 26, 2014Hi, I seem to also be having the same problem as Aquazenith. There only seems to be one specific player that isn't able to make chestshop even though he has the permission to. I asked him if he was on a Mac and he replied yes.

Posted May 25, 2014Please help? My IGN on MC is InfiniteShadow77. I am currently unable to create chest shops. I also have the permissions to do so. On a server that I play on, I cannot create shops at all. There is no error message, and nothing is wrong. BUT, when a friend goes on my account they can make shops? Also, on the same server I am unable to create shops on a alternate account? Please help me! I am in desperate need to be able to make shops, since it is a prison server! NOTE: In a previous update (I'm not sure which one, sorry) I had the ability to make shops!

I have that setting filled in, and it works for Admin Shops, but the sign shop cost disappears into thin air for me.

Posted May 23, 2014I have something important to say: 1.7.6+ in minecraft will break some plugins using names from players to work because name changes where implemented and in 1.8 versions of minecraft it will be an ever bigger problem, if a player changes his name he would not get the money from his shop and will not be able to break it, can you developers please let this keep track on players with their UUID?

Posted May 22, 2014Dev build is using major resources. Please look into it. Maybe allowing it to use mySQL as well as SQlite?
But as the user.db folder grows the lag gets VERY bad.
If i wipe out the user.db and start fresh the lag goes away until it grows.
Here is a timings sample for ChestShops. http://pastebin.com/BViJvVtW
Note: I have tried turning off every tiny feature I can in the config and nothing helps. There is 0 logging taking place.

In the config.yml this line states which account all money goes to for server shops.
SERVER_ECONOMY_ACCOUNT:
Depending on what economy plugin you use you might need to create a new account.
I use craft conomy and it creates the account just fine
