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 Feb 27, 2015Found some problems where players changed their name, but their shop signs were gold, however they are able to use the chests, but the selling or buying goes to a balance of their old IGN, essentially their balance is not effected at all in the new name.
I had to change all the shop signs to their new IGN, then it worked.
So they had the perms to use the chest, but their balance did not update.

Posted Feb 23, 2015I believe I've discovered a bug with chestshop on spigot 1.8.
Using /iteminfo to obtain an id for things like fireworks, enchanted items, and books isn't working. The resulting chestshop always says its out of stock. It used to work before our upgrade to 1.8 (and our upgrade in chestshop versions). However, after the upgrade new chests created using this method always say "Out of stock", though the old ones still work strangely enough.
I'll be looking into this myself and if I find anything more I'll edit this post.
So I tracked the problem through spigot. The issue is when an ItemStack is generated from the id on the sign (the one from /iteminfo) the metadata is not 100% the same.
Specifically it appears the generated ItemStack (though I may have mixed up the generated ItemStack and the one in the inventory) has an NBTTag "repaircost" which is null, and that the one in the inventory has no such tag.
Since I was looking at this in the internals of craftbukkit, the tag specifically existed in the "Map<String, NBTBase> unhandledTags" of org.bukkit.craftbukkit.inventory.CraftMetaItem.java
This causes the generated item to not match the items in the chest since it fails comparison "&& (this.unhandledTags.equals(that.unhandledTags))" in boolean equalsCommon(CraftMetaItem that)

Posted Feb 23, 2015Hey there :)
Firstly - Thanks for a great plugin. Secondly, everyone on my server with the exception of ONE player can write and use signs. He can interact with signs, buy and sell from others, but he cannot create his own signs.
Any idea why this could be? We've deleted his playerdata e.t.c - we DO have LWC installed, and I made the assumption this could be interfering, although it doesn't affect anyone else.
Thanks in advance!

Posted Feb 21, 2015Is there a way to color the format of the sign like the name of the shop show up in gold for regular shops, and Blue for admin shops. And quantity to show in white Buy Prices show in Lime Green The B and S would show up in Red and the Item would be black or whatever.

Posted Feb 21, 2015@JesseWayne21 Exactly what you are saying. Apple's Java adds garbage unicode characters into the strings. Solution - press backspace a few times before typing on the sign.
@Sitmobedaf Sorry, but you ommited the most important part of the log.
@katana322 Please recreate the local.yml file (delete it, it will auto-regenerate). (plugins/ChestShop/local.yml)
@hutt132 Mac issue, look to the top of this comment.

Posted Feb 19, 2015Hello Acrobot,
I posted a bit ago saying that I have been having trouble making signs suddenly. It seems that this is an issue with mac users only. I have confirmed it with several other mac users. Any chance you can look into this? I think the plugin is adding letters/symbols to the signs that are invisible because of what I see in console.
Thanks, JesseWayne21

Posted Feb 15, 2015When some of my players try to make a shop, the sign just places as a regular sign and not a ChestShop sign. It only does that for certain player, but for everyone else it is fine. There are no errors.
