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 May 4, 2015Hello guys, I have a problem with the plugin. I've set all the permissions properly and yet it doesn't let SOME players to buy from the admin shops (but it does let them sell). And this seems to be happening randomly (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't). Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be? (admin chest shops are set-up at the spawn which is in a region protected by worldguard) What am I missing? Does anything else need to be configured?
Thanks in advance!

Posted May 3, 2015I keep seeing threads on websites about people having tps issues due to Chestshops.
Update your chestshop version. There was a couple sour builds awhile back (one of which i reported and was patched)
Once you update the version you wont have any problem.

Posted Apr 27, 2015@LordKainzo Unfortunately, it just appears like someone is abusing hoppers in your case.
@marubal21 There is a bug I need to iron out after I have a bit of free time.
@lolwhycant Unfortunately, I cannot help you with such a vague statement.
@paincauser12 Are you in creative mode?
@frizzbee30 Unfortunately, there is no way for ChestShop to use MySQL internally. The data should not be read by the end-users anyway. You're right about the backup abilities, however this would mean implementing a lot of overhead for the different database servers.
@gamermomoe This is an error within your economical plugin.
@kyle1264 Not an error, just seems like Spigot likes to print those like errors.
