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 Jul 6, 2014@strontkever Currently a feature, not a bug, however I added a switch to the dev version that allows you to retain the original protection.
@Minikrafteris Do you have Vault installed?

Posted Jul 5, 2014I found something i believe what is not supposed to happen.
If i set shops to be removed when empty, empty shops will also lose the LWC protection. If players use a double chest for 2 chestshops the chest will be unprotected when 1 shop is empty. I tried it with using the chestshops protection on/off doesnt matter.
In my case i set it up to just remove the sign from the chest, not both.

Posted Jul 4, 2014@LordKainzo Hmm, seems like more of an issue with some kind of data integrity, tbh. Not really something I can do about it.
@colleboy2000 Replied to your PM.
@Mcraftpete There is a flag, "allow-shops" or something like that in WorldGuard. You can use it and turn on WorldGuard protection in the config.
@strontkever Ninja'd :P

Posted Jul 3, 2014@BlackScar95 Read the FAQ please.
@BBFChaser No problem, thanks for the work!
@LordKainzo Woah. Did not expect anything like that. How often does it happen?
@xMinecraft You are using a beta version of the new Residence, which is currently unsupported. Please wait for the UUID-supporting ChestShop build (or PM me if you wish to betatest it).
@guimartino You've got a lot of hoppers on your server.
@MaitreSodaMC I'm sorry, but I get my names from Bukkit. There is no way I can change them, unless you use the OddItem plugin.

Posted Jun 29, 2014@Priqious Sorry, but I am out-of-touch when it comes to administrating a server. You should probably ask the devs of your permission plugin.
@NobleStrike There is. Please PM me, as I cannot post it here due to the rules.

Hi as RyanDev mentioned, how do you actually set the world permissions?
I'm using GroupManager and I have a different world for my Shop Plots compared to my Factions world. I'm wondering how to disable ChestShop in my Factions world but enable it in my Shop Plots world?
Thanks very much!

Posted Jun 29, 2014@BBFChaser Thanks!
@jlsafof When I finally fix all errors regarding the UUID change in Vault. Believe me, it is not easy.
@cbprog Well, that is why I suggest that everybody updates often (and this is why the recent builds have an auto-updater built in).
