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 27, 2019What exact message is it saying? Also are you sure it's not due to some other protection plugin or negated permissions?
Also what's the sign setup, player name and configuration?

Posted Jan 25, 2019Issue with 1.13.2 - players can't seem to sell dried kelp blocks. Dried kelp works fine, but the blocks don't. We tried "Dried Kelp Block" and "dried_kelp_block". It's probably a simple fix to have them in there by default. My apologies if this is a hassle, however.

Posted Jan 27, 2019You should use the ID provided by /iteminfo or the autofill feature to create shop item IDs that work. Longer names would cause issues due to limited space on signs.

Posted Jan 27, 2019Yes, just use autofill functionality with a ? on the last line or directly write the ID provided by /iteminfo.

Posted Jan 15, 2019Hello!
Having installed ChestShop on my server, I discovered that after some time my host starts to become infected and fall. After some time, trying to reproduce the problem and collecting packages, I discovered that there is traffic to the server mcstats.org. Previously, there was sevrer statistics, after which it stopped working and plugins began to use bstats. At the same address mcstats.org are located infected servers. He began to connect to the host address and he began to go uncontrolled traffic. The problem was solved by opening the plugin and cutting mcstats.org.
I used the version for 1.7.9

Posted Jan 27, 2019The plugin only sends the usual metrics information to mcstats, no executables are downloaded or run (the official downloads here on bukkit are even checked) and simply sending requests to a server doesn't expose you to anything. (The requests still end up on the mcstats servers, as far as I can tell nothing changed in the domain records, it's just that their metrics server and site are offline most of the times)
I also kinda question the validity of that site's rating, it's only 4% confident after all based on only 25 reports.
Anyways, if you don't want your server sending requests to mcstats you can disable it via the usual PluginMetrics config.
