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 Jan 9, 2015@Zrips Sorry, but not really :/ Residence 2.6 uses names instead of UUIDs and I would rather phase out the usage of names in ChestShop.

Posted Jan 8, 2015Can you get back with residence api to older 2.6 instead of 3.0? because 3.0 is on halt and its not usable for time being :)

Posted Jan 8, 2015@LordKainzo Hey again - I checked everything in my code and it appears like the error is caused by SnakeYAML, embedded in Spigot/CraftBukkit. I cannot do anything about it. Sorry! :x

Posted Jan 8, 2015@LordKainzo Thanks for the info!
@PippaSmith The pluin is indeed updated, and
@Tintin159 Update WorldGuard/ChestShop.
@skatesdsq This is because I really do not currently know how and why/why doesn't Spigot work. They have stopped sharing the source code since the whole DMCA fiasco and I do not have time personally to test the plugin with Spigot.
@Mr_Simba Thanks for the words. This is all too true - unfortunately, I have my school leaving exams soon, thus unfortunately I have to excuse you all, however they take priority if I have to choose between them and concentrating on ChestShop.
@DeFabregas It IS already updated. Since I could not select "1.8" when the plugin was uploaded I settled on 1.7.9, since it was the closest version to 1.8.
@LordKainzo Thanks, Kainzo. Will look at this.
@EnderdragonDotDe As for the startup error - do not worry, it's just Spigot that shows every piece of chat. It was hidden in the Bukkit version.
@maxlehot1234 I'm sorry, but I do not understand. ".5" is a correct of writing 0.5, commonly used in USA.

I'd be happy to pay for this plugin if it were updated regularly. Would anyone else agree with me? Why not? It's kind of a good arrangement, as I've donated for plugins before that just get abandoned or ignored for updates, and that's frustrating. But if we were to commit to it, and pay just a little, with all of us paying a small fee, it might well be worthwhile to this developer to keep it updated. How about it?

Because s/he has a life outside of plugin development and responding to tickets. Acro isn't paid to maintain ChestShop for us and we are extremely lucky that they continue to do so as it is one of the most important plugins that exist.

Posted Dec 31, 2014@teozfrank Hey - the worst part is that the plugin works fine on 1.8, there are just some versions of Spigot that do not work fine with plugins - and, obviously, those people report problems with ChestShop.
As for everyone with enquiries, please create tickets for your questions, because it's a hassle to keep up with the comments section.

Posted Dec 28, 2014The amount of people that just expect things to be updated. Shame on you, I bet you never donated for the time this developer has put into this plugin while your off making money from your servers. Wait until an update is posted, until then just zip your crying about the update and just wait.

Posted Dec 28, 2014Guys backoff of him. Im sure he is working on an 1.8 update. But id rather have him do it right then rush it. New block names will really mess up his code, he will have to change it all and maybe add in converters.
