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 Jun 26, 2014Is it possible for ChestShop to store enchanted items meta data (ie, enchants)? If this data is stored as a separate field(s), then it would be possible to display this information in some of the add-ons like ChestShop Logger and Notifier.
I have already been able to create a test website displaying chest shop locations and sales history, but enchanted items do not have data to indicate which enchants are included.

Posted Jun 24, 2014For those of you that use the Alternate pricing table I have made many changes tonight that affect the price of all stained materials as well as dye's.
You can download the new tool using the link posted above or in my signature (I will use the same link for all updates).
I am planning to add enchantment pricing in the next update as well as add some of the new 1.8 items in.

Posted Jun 24, 2014@LordKainzo Yup, probably this is the culprit. Thank you for informing me!
@Welite Nope, should not act like that. Are you sure you are not using the shops in some kind of protected land (if so, ChestShop will not work, as it obeys the protection).
@RyanDev You should probably configure your permissions properly instead (with nodes blocking ChestShop in other worlds)

Actually, the new Residence changed its API - so I think you may need to update to the latest API?

Posted Jun 23, 2014Hi Acrobot, I'm currently developing a factions server and i've made a world named "spawnworld" for my main spawn at shops etc...
Could you add a config node to whitelist certain worlds chestshop works in? I want players to be able to make chestshops at the market in "spawnworld" world but not any of the other worlds. Could you please add something like this? Much appreciated.
-----------------plugin-world-whitelist-on: TRUE/FALSE
whitelisted-worlds:
- spawnworld

Posted Jun 22, 2014@LordKainzo Hey Kainzo, are you using Residence by any chance? If so, redownload it. And if not, please re-download ChestShop dev.
@XA_Lany @maxito43
PM me for the dev version if you wish to try if that version fixes it.

Posted Jun 20, 2014Since 3.7.9 ChestShop uses 2 (!) ms per Tick on InventoryMoveItemEvent on a full 25 player Craftbukkit 1.7.2 R0.3 Server, wich is 25% of the total time plugins take with events per tick, and that is a) constantily per-tick with no spikes and b) on a plugin-heavy RPG server
With 3.7.7 the usage/tick amounted for around 7% of the total time plugins took to compute.

Posted Jun 16, 2014Im not exactly sure if this is the plugin affecting this problem but. On random times, players would be unable to sell to another player saying that, the owner of the shop doesn't have enough money, but when they relog, it fixes the problem. I have updated essentials / vault, but the problem is still there, so i can only assume that maybe this problem is related with chestshops.

Posted Jun 16, 2014@spencertheminer Not currently, however it is possible to do it via an addon for ChestShop.
@NobleStrike Wait a bit, there is a dev version currently in the works. It should fix all the lag issues.
@Flarupspige Sure, just provide me with the link to the translation on pastebin and I'll be sure to include it in the player-made transaction list.
