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!

Actually I did this and it returned. Also, the shops work just fine, they just throw that error when someone buys anything.

Posted Aug 22, 2014@wesley272 There is not any official repo for ChestShop, as I unfortunately don't have one. Just include it in your external libraries, like you include Bukkit, then add a "depend:" or "softdepend:" to your plugin.yml.
The cancellation reasons are contained in PreTransactionEvent, it's an internal enum - PreTransactionEvent.TransactionOutcome. As you can guess from their names, they are reasons for the cancellation. If you wish to cancel the event, but not in the usual ChestShop style (for example, you wish to block the event based on the current world), use the TransactionOutcome.OTHER field.

Posted Aug 21, 2014If we want to use chestshops API in one of our plugins, is there a maven repo/dependency we can use? Or do we have to have the jar in our external libraries?
Also, I'm trying to cancel the PreTransactionevent with event.setCancelled(reason)... I can't figure out what I'm supposed to put in for reason?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Posted Aug 21, 2014@Gaurav1234 Seems like your SQLite is not working fine. On what system are you running the server on?
@Europia79 More or less - all of them, now. I have made the switch to UUIDs now, so really it's hard for me to separate the functionality.
@Dyllaann Either install or update Vault.
@Great_Snake Fe seems to wrongly implement account recognition - I am using fake accounts for admin shops, and unfortunately Fe does not seem to be OK with this. I already asked the devs about it - no reply.

Posted Aug 21, 2014@Great_Snake Ask the Vault author(s) to implement/update Fe. There is also a convert command
I haven't tested it myself, but it's mentioned in Vault's plugin.yml ;)

Posted Aug 20, 2014Hmm ChestShop doesn't seem to work with the economy plugin "Fe", and yes before anyone says anything I do have the newest version of Vault installed. What economies do you all use?
And a question for Acrobat: Any reason or thing I can do to make chestshop compatible with fe? We have been using Fe for years and I would hate to have to switch away from it, the though of converting everyones balances over sounds like a nightmare.

I would really like backwards compatibility. If you're too busy, just tell me which classes/methods of your plugin require 1.7.8+ ? And i'll see if I can devise a "fix" and toss a pull request. Thanks!

@videosar64 Could you post the whole stack trace?
@U1T1MATE Well, I do need more of the log, as the error message tells me nothing.
