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 Aug 6, 2015@MasterMithrandir No idea, sorry! :(
@SubSideNL Woah, you're right, it is an oversight on my part. Fixing that right away!
@F64_Rx Sounds like your items.db file is corrupted. Unfortunately, I believe deleting it is the only viable option.
@NoHoPeLess Please read the changelog, I had to remove the message suppression due to the Glowstone compatibility.

Posted Aug 1, 2015I can not sell the enchanted item via ChestShop on the newest 3.8.12 version anymore, at the old version. We can sell the enchanted item by checking the item number some letter behind the number such as 263#6F (enchanted diamond example), the ChestShop will only accept item 263#6F, but now we can not do that anymore, even I type 263#6F, the item 263 still can sell to the shop. Sorry for my English, please fix this error anyway, it confuse my server economy. Thank you

For players creating new signs, it still shows their old username, is this normal even when it's a new sign?

Posted Jul 24, 2015There is a slight problem to your UUID support. I have a player (player 1) on my server that changed his name from X to Y, and someone else (player 2) changed his name to from Z to "player 1"'s old name X. Now "player 2" can make a chestshop and works all fine, but when another player (player 3) sells something to "player 2", the money is taken away from "player 1"
Basically, someone changed his name to someone elses old username. Now when he makes a sign, the money gets withdrawn from the player who originally had that name.
I hope I explained it correctly :3

Posted Jul 23, 2015Hey, Is Shopkeepers in any way using the chest shop system for sign shop?
I'm wondering this because the chest shop WorldGuard flag would be really usefull for my Sign Shopkeepers central trading area.

Posted Jul 23, 2015@QubeCraftMC Yes, it has UUID support and what you are seeing is the backwards-compatibility in action. (In short, to maintain backwards compatibility I have to log the name a player has logged in with at first, and then put it on any sign he creates - even when the nickname changes)

Posted Jul 23, 2015Does ChestShops have UUID support for player shops? It seems at the moment one of my players with the name speedydinosaur has his old username appear (Speedy_Gaming) when he leaves the name field empty for it to auto-detect.
Any ideas?

I figured as much but wasn't 100% sure. I didn't want to be the guy that bricks the entire 7 floor shop. Thanks for the help!

no, chestshop is different and uses a different format entirely (this is evident from the set up instructions)
