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 26, 2014Shops will not give my players money after they sell, and claims that you do not have enough money to buy things. Not sure if this is Chest Shop, Vault or Essentials but I would like to know.

Posted Jul 23, 2014Hello I have a question, I play on a Prison / plot server with your plugin, MC1.7.10
And I was wondering if it was possible to allow shop chests to empty/fill with hoppers? let me explain, only the plot owner can place blocks on the plots so hopper theft wouldn't be an issue. But it would let the owners empty and fill the stores with hoppers...is this possible? maybe a config option?
thanks for your time, (whoever answers).

Posted Jul 22, 2014I'm having a problem with this plugin.
I am doing the format correctly for the signs however they aren't registering.
I do it like this:
Line 1: [Admin Shop] Line 2: 1 Line 3: B 200:100 S Line 4: Diamond
However it doesnt work whenever another player or I try to buy stuff. You just destroy the sign when trying to sell, and nothing happens when you try to buy. What could be happening?

Posted Jul 20, 2014I run a few servers. The vault issue fixed my 1.7.9 server with no issues.
However over the last few days, my 1.5 servers running chestshop have stopped working at all. The servers are not registering the plugin as even being working. We tried both 3.7.8 and 3.7.9, using vault for 1.5.2.
We run modded servers, and we know that generally bukkit doesn't support this, but I thought I would ask. Is there anything that changed in the last week that would have made 1.5 chestshop break all of a sudden?
