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

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 Mar 7, 2019Vault is not an economy plugin. It allows other economy plugins to interact with plugins that use the Vault API. You can use any Vault or Reserve compatible economy plugins with ChestShop.

Posted Feb 26, 2019Hi I just installed this addon and some of the commands are not working. /iteminfo just gives me"Full Name Error: Cannot generate code for item Itemstack........" also i'm the op of the server and when I make an admin shop with a ? on the bottom it says I don't have permission when I try to click on the sign with an item. I have all the permissions set up so I don't think that's the issue. I'm using version 3.9.2 build 86.

I placed a chest with a Sign like that example of you. It worked and in the chat was standing "Shop succesfully created"...But When I left/right click it I can buy nothing :/
I would enjoy it very much if you help me :D

EDIT: After trying it again, I couldnt not even create the shop--> "You cant create this type of shop!"

Posted Feb 23, 2019Hello,
Is it possible to set that you can place signs with buy / sell in certain "environments / areas"?
So that they can only place them in playerhops?
If it is possible, how? Or is there maybe another plugin?

Posted Feb 23, 2019If you use WorldGuard then you can enable WorldGuard integration in the config to limit shop creation to inside their own regions or only in regions that have the "allow-shop" flag set.
Otherwise it might also be possible to only grant the shop creation permissions in certain regions if your permission/protection plugin supports that.
