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 14, 2014Whenever I interact with a shop, create one/sell or buy something, it is bugged in chat.
It worked before, and I didn't install any plugins that could've done something to it.
It says ?2[Shop] ?r *the message for the thing I do*
EDIT:
I deleted the local.yml and let the server load a new one, this fixed the problem (not sure why it was bugged, I never touched the file before)

Posted Jul 13, 2014How gets Cheschop v3.7.15 the UUID?
Mojang Client or when a player logins?
Would be interesting for offline mode servers.

Posted Jul 13, 2014@strontkever Hmm, nothing has really changed in ChestShop regarding WorldGuard, so it might be a WorldGuard issue.

Posted Jul 13, 2014For some reason chestshop isnt working like it has been before. I now have to negate permissions to disallow shop create/use... not a problem. But worldguard allow-shop flag is completely ignored, users can create shops anywhere. regardless of the settings: WORLDGUARD_INTEGRATION and WORLDGUARD_USE_FLAG
i dont know when this started to happen since i just noticed a shop being put where it shouldnt, i tried using a older permissions version, older bukkit version but it doesnt make any change. It could be a worldguard update but i wouldnt know which version. Is there anything you can look into what might be the problem?

Posted Jul 13, 2014@yanniclord Not sure.
@Blamo27 Sorry, but I cannot read anything from such format. If you'd like to test out the dev build, please PM me - it uses the new UUID system, so should be significantly faster.
@kingsir1 Install Vault.
@Ciryond Thanks!
@wrecktify80 Huh, this should not be happening. I'll test it.

Posted Jul 12, 2014Problem. If a chestshop sign is attached to a log or plank, players with permission to flint & steal can burn the wood block that has the chestshop sign attached to it then it will pop off and they will have access to the items. Has this always been an issue or just recently happened?
