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 Dec 25, 2014So on my server chestshop is letting my players create shops but not me as owner with full permissions. No errors in log. I told a player how to make the shop worked for him but nothing happens when I make the sign. I have tried both in survival and gamemode.

Posted Dec 23, 2014So um my plugin won't work somehow. I set up almost all of the market signs in my market. I then told my friend to go buy something. He has $500, so it should have worked. But instead, it said that he didn't have enough money to buy anything in the market.
Here's a screenshot of it all. > Click here for info.

Posted Dec 21, 2014@ThePuppySlayer He gets an updated or fixed or changes economy plugin. It's clear from his timings that the economy plugin he uses is the issue.
@Acrobot Been struggling with the admin shop being out of money issue the past few months on both Spigot 1.7 and now Spigot 1.8. Any closer on a possible fix for this?

Posted Dec 20, 2014@TowelieDOH As you can see, your economy plugin is slow. Thus, ChestShop is slow as well, as it hooks into Vault and, using Vault, into your economy plugin.

Posted Dec 18, 2014Okay guys, I don't know what's going on, but I can say this:
ChestShop is working perfectly fine for me on Spigot 1.8. I made sure to update to the latest (and remember it's backwards compatible) version of Java from Oracle. If you're using a Linux box based on Ubuntu, remember they ship with IcedTea as their default Java VM. Switching to Oracle Java 8 helped me get rid of the server shop bug where it ran out of money. If you don't know how to set up JRE 8 on your server machine then you should not be running a server. Also install the JDK 8 if you intend on writing plugins.
I had issues with this and a few other plugins before updating my Java. Everyone please update to Java 8 and see if your problems persist.
ONE LAST THING: If you're using 1.8 and Essentials, be sure to get the Essentials from Spigot forum regarding the 1.8 update. Bukkit, CraftBukkit & Spigot 1.8
