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!

@ipodtouch218 Not really, unless you disable ChestShop's protection and use, for example, LWC.
@johandre The development will be hard, because I've got no .jars to build upon.

Is there any way to make it so that a certain playercan access my chest if there is a sign saying that it is a shop?
(I'm not the server owner, but no one knows how)

Posted Sep 12, 2014Hey,
Is there anyway to get an admin shop to buy ONLY custom named items?
Example: I give my players a rare named drop called "soul shard" when farming mobs and mining, I want them to be able to turn this in at an admin shop for money.
The item I use is a named yellow dye, how do I keep the players from fooling the chestshop by feeding it yellow dye instead of "soul shards?"
EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out, it's really simple, just used /iteminfo Thanks

Posted Sep 8, 2014@StarlessMiner Hmm... Which economy plugin are you running, then?
@tarixNUVA1 As for the Mac - Apple's version of Java is broken. Use Oracle's. http://www.java.com/pl/download/faq/java_mac.xml
As for Vault or iConomy - it's like saying does this car use engine or petrol? ChestShop depends on Vault and can use iConomy or any other economy plugin.

Posted Sep 7, 2014@frizzbee30 Permissions? Using an economy plugin that supports multiple worlds? Updating Vault/ChestShop?
@Scattyboy Check out config.
@StarlessMiner Update/install Vault.
@tarixNUVA1 Are you using a Mac?
@StarlessMiner Update Vault.
@rautamiekka Not really a possibility, unless you turn off ChestShop's protection and rely on WG/LWC.

we set a charge for creating a chestshop and the player gets a refund on removing it. It's in the plugin config
