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

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 Mar 9, 2012The newest version of heroes uses Heroes.getCharacterManager() instead of getHeroManager(). It's throwing errors.
EDIT: Btw, I really appreciate what you do. I've used ChestShop since the beginning and you've had great support for it, and you handle update extremely quickly. Thank you!

Posted Mar 9, 2012Could you implement some type of faction support? For example: Shops are protected in faction land, but can be TNTed/claimed like normal chests. Otherwise, shops aren't protected in normal land. If you can't do this, thanks for the great plugin anyway.

Posted Mar 9, 2012Acrobot, new worldguard flag is a very big problem :( I've got many regions. I can't always add flag for new region but I want to give people permissions for shops. I can't set flag for global region becouse I want to give permissions only in private cuboids.
The previous solution was good. Maybe you can add setting to set the new flag to ALLOW by default?

Posted Mar 9, 2012@UnitedFactions Oh well :/ Can you create a big region containing all shop plots and then just add /region flag to it?

Posted Mar 9, 2012@Acrobot I have 335 shop plots :) ? SHould i remove worldguard integration then?

Send Message
Posted Mar 9, 2012@UnitedFactions If you want to use the new WORLDGUARD_INTEGRATION, you have to do
/region yourRegionName flag chestshop allow
ChestShop adds its flag to WorldGuard, so you can easily control in which regions chestshops can be placed.

Posted Mar 9, 2012Hi i am having issues with the new workaround of worldguard? My users who first could easily make a chestshop are now getting the message: [Shop] You cannot build a shop here however theyre region is a worldguard region, they are MEMBER of the region. Before this worked perfectly, can you look into this please?
