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 Jan 21, 2017I'm really hopeful that @Phoenix616 and @dmulloy2 can bring Chestshop back and updated, working for 1.11.
Thanks for your work, and the work yet to come

Posted Dec 4, 2016Amazing plugin also very popular... a lot of big servers use it, anyone know why the author abandoned the project? I can think of a lot of new features that would make this plugin better.

Posted Nov 3, 2016This project is not at all dead! I Fixed it. Check below.
ChestShop? For me in 1.9 + 1.10.2? Zero errors. Works perfectly!
Download the file below or simply update it yourself using the method
in the link below.
Please follow this link to the LWC plugins site (Curse)
for my advice on how to update MANY plugins that seem
dead or discontinued in 1.8 for 1.10+
Look for my recent post there.
https://mods.curse.com/bukkit-plugins/minecraft/lwc
You really can update these plugins yourself for 1.9 / 1.10+
LONG LIVE CHESTSHOP!
[Vault] Enabled Version 1.5.6-b49
[ChestShop] Vault loaded! Found an economy plugin!
[ChestShop] LWC version 4.5.0-SNAPSHOT loaded.
This server is running Paper version git-Paper-897 (MC: 1.10.2)
I have just finished a super massive 450+ chests admin shop.
I will never let go of ChestShop <3 Why did you? Huh?! ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
I also have several menu type other shops and probably the most
complex custom summon villager traders you ever saw. 100s of
items in each. ;p SERIOUS trade options!
Really? 100% working? Okay I confess :D there IS 1 issue.
SilkSpawners will sell to a player but NP but they cannot
sell the spawners back to the shops.(1.10.2) This I'm assuming is
actually a Silkspawners issue and not ChestShop! This is
kind of proven when you place the spawners and silk touch back
up they then sell to the shops. /shrug.
Also, Spigot. Specifically version 1.9.0? All Spawn eggs are bugged.
Spigot fixed this in 1.9.2+ update. No other issues to report. Not a
ChestShop issue I'm sure.
You will still get the SQL database error about missing/applying table
row in console at startup/restart.
"you seem to not be using the Xerial SQLite driver."
I'm assuming you could use a sql browser to manually
add the row yourself. This does not effect plugin performance
or functionality. Message only happens only during startup/restart.
Dont blame the devs for Microsoft's filthy API/NBT code wars!
Why do the devs not do the thing I did to update these plugins?
Remember? Bukkit was shot dead back in 1.8 and so was
the morale of many devs. They left, for good. ;( Since then?
Mojang is at war with servers and plugins. They keep dramatically
changing 100s of class paths, item/mob names, API code and more
each new version. It's very tedious for devs to update any plugin now.
Think yourself lucky that some devs still carry on!
(DMCA Spigot/Bukkit takedown notice.
WesleyWolfe. This notice is still in effect now.)
Good luck!
Again? Below is a 1.9 + 1.10.2 working version of ChestShop. Bukkit/Spigot/Paperclip
Nothing has been added to this .jar feel free to get 7zip and look inside.
Only 1.8 to 1.9 / 1.10.2 class file translations were done. That is ALL.
See it working?
My Hosted 96 slot 100% Free Public Server running Java v8 (49 plugins)

do /pl and /version
/mail send Jabbablock with any questions.
You can also chat using our Dynmap without even visiting the server.
