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 Apr 20, 2015@Acrobot We prefer to store as many database in MySQL as possible, and we are already reaping the rewards. Apart from the claimed performance benefits of using MySQL, it gives great DR capability (and was a boon a coupe of weeks ago when our host had an issue and corrupted the local databases, including chestshop, our externally stored MySQL databases were untouched.).

Posted Apr 18, 2015I can create shops in all my player groups (Default Rank, and Owner Rank) Just fine, but I cannot buy or sell any of the item in the chest. I do not get a message or anything. It just doesn't let me. Do you know why this is?

Posted Apr 15, 2015@frizzbee30 What do you need the MySQL for?
@xion87 The error is only shown because of how Spigot treats those messages. It's not harmful.
I will be looking into the timing issue.

Posted Apr 11, 2015@Turtwigzz Unfortunately, it's not a bug - it's a workaround with how Mojang did their nickname->UUID change.

Posted Apr 10, 2015I noticed a sort of bug- When you buy something from "Madi_x" It will come up with their old username "MadiAndSis"
This isn't a big bug but it's quite annoying since some people changed their username and never want to be recognised as their old one.
"You bought 1 Diamond from MadiAndSis for $150" Instead of "You bought 1 Diamond from Madi_x for $150"

Posted Apr 10, 2015Anyone noticed problems with users who change their name with mojang?
Users that changed their names and then try to sell and buy notice that their balance do not change.
