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 30, 2014I am still trying to figure out why chest shop has stopped working on my 1.5 servers.
I am trying to run both 3.7.9 or 3.7.8.
We were running 3.7.8 with no issues until about 2 weeks ago. Suddenly the server stopped reading the plugin. It no longer shows up on the /plugins list.
We have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times now to see if there was something we could fix that way. It still is not recognizing it at all.
I know you're having a lot of issues with the most recent update, but I would really love to keep chestshop on my 1.5 servers. If there's anything I can try (other than going back into further versions) I would love to hear about it.
The reason we don't use older versions is due to the dupe bug. If that's really the only way to make chestshop work again, we might have to move on to something else. :(

The shop was working whilst it being 'Adminshop' even with the config set as ' Admin Shop'
Either way, I tried editing the config and I was still having this issue. The notification in chat still comes up when you buy and sell, it's just the balances are not changing while buying and selling.

Name the shop properly on top line. Admin Shop is what the CONFIG calls for, not Adminshop, you can either edit config and change it to Adminshop or change all signs to Admin Shop.

Posted Jul 29, 2014Noticed that Gunpowder is named Sulphur which causes trouble like "Invalid item id" cause people tend to write "Gunpowder" on the sign. Also few times people are asking what the fuck is Suplhur.

Posted Jul 29, 2014I think many people had this problem and this got already answered like 10000 times, but I don't get it how you can make the Users build an UserShop in a region defined area, without they can destroy something in this area or build anything else then an UserShop. I already tried /rg flag Name chestshop allow - but this doesnt worked. An answer would be great, I looked for this already 3 hours.

Posted Jul 27, 2014For those having issues with Admin Shop being out of money after update:
I had the same issues until I realized that my signs in-game were "Adminshop"
However, the config was stated "Admin Shop"
So I switched the config to Adminshop and all is well again.

Posted Jul 27, 2014Good Day, is there any way to create an AdminShop with an own Inventory? So players can only buy things if others sold items to the Shop, but an Shop Owner is not needed?
Thanks ;)

It's not Vault or Essentials because all my other economy plugins, including them are working.
When ever a player tries to buy/sell things from an Adminshop sign they're not getting the credit for it, after updating to the latest build.
