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 25, 2015Hello Acrobot,
Thanks for the plugin I have been a longtime user of the plugin. Lately I have been having trouble with creating shops at the mall area on my server. The syntax is right, I've tried two or three different placements, I have updated vault, chestshop, and spigot to the most recent versions and nothing. I have OP so I have permissions for the area. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Posted Jan 24, 2015@Acrobot It is only letting you sell the spawners that were naturally silk touched. But once you change the spawner type, then it does not work. It gives it NBT3 tag and doesnt sell.

qty
s:xxx
***(to denote ability to buy any item)
This way players could sell me whatever item they would like to see in my chest shop, and they aren't completely out that item as they get a bit for it and I am able to take suggestions while I'm offline.-

Posted Jan 14, 2015Thought I'd give you a heads up, the Chestshot Logger link is 404.

Just repeat the download of the buildtools and run it like you did before. I do it once or twice a week, nearly every time there is an update.

Posted Jan 11, 2015@ChengZi368 Not really. I cannot include both residence APIs, because the namespaces will be colliding. The functions seems almost the same, but not really.
@tim740 As @TheChampTFMineCraftLegend, it's CraftBook's issue.
Have you tried the latest Spigot version? Are you sure that there's no spawn protection?

You can make a interface and use different ResidenceAPI in different class.

Posted Jan 10, 2015@Zrips See, the problem is that I cannot make them both compatible due to the changes in the file structure. Since I was asked many times about updating Residence API in ChestShop, I did so - I just cannot make both sides happy at the same time :/

Fair enough, but then everyone will gona need to manually change API to older one after each chest-shop just to rid off that nasty error poping in console every couple seconds
