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!

This is why I was asking about iConomy itself. Is iConomy no longer developed on? If so, does it support multiple worlds? And when you say it supports multiple worlds, is it as I asked earlier, being "money given to the shop stays in the receiving player's wallet associated with the world that shop is in"?
Hear me out, this seems confusing to talk about, but in practice it's the most obvious, most annoying thing:
If player1 is in worldA and buys from player2, but player2 is in worldB, does that money STAY in worldA or does it deposit to player2 regardless of world?

Posted Jul 12, 2015@roracle ChestShop supports multiple worlds, it is just a question whether your economy plugin supports multiple worlds.
Sorry for not replying to more tickets - seriously low on time.
@KevinEssence ChestShop has supported name changes for a long time - just do /iteminfo and put that on the sign.

Posted Jul 11, 2015STILL waiting to hear about this:
I'm using multiple worlds and keeping inventory separate, and would like to keep economy separate, too. Does iConomy + iConomy Chest Shop allow for this, or should I seek elsewhere?

And SERVER_TAX_AMOUNT does not work! Or maybe i don't understand what this do? But looks like don't work...
I used CraftBukkit version git-Spigot-2f787bd-ea28011 (MC: 1.8.3) (Implementing API version 1.8.3-R0.1-SNAPSHOT)[m
CS version 3.8.11
P.S. and it's stupid when u have Server Economy Account and can't off taxes when u sell to Admin Shop... Cause it's looks like you pay for your item from your taxes)) lol

Please explain the issue. Stating that car doesn't move doesn't tell us what is wrong. Such as, does it start, does it make noise, can you turn the key, is there fuel in the tank, can you enter the car?
Just an example of what I mean.
Reposting my last message, anyone else having the following issue?
http://gyazo.com/a7ee9cc1d67466f2e0e9bd79225cfc97
To expand, when someone is selling to the shop, it will either sell for 1 or the set amount on the sign, but all at the same price.

Sewing is what you do with thread and a needle. Also, it isn't in good practice to threaten legal action against people with a gigantic disclaimer on their site about what you're downloading/using.

Posted Jul 6, 2015Can you add colors to sign text?? And can you fix id on sign and on shop interactions messages? Players sometime don't understand what they buy/sell, because some id is incorrect!
For example: Dark Oak Wood in sign text visualising as Wood:5 and in shop message as Redwood Wood
