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 Apr 28, 2019What kind of errors do you get when using that server version? Please report them in a ticket or on the github issue tracker.
Once both the 1.13 ChestShop release and 1.14 server are in a more stable state (currently only non-production development builds with major issues are available) I will test the plugin myself on the new version, until then any reports are appreciated.

Posted May 6, 2019For anyone wondering: Signs are no longer an issue on the latest builds so please make sure you are running one of those when you are testing 1.14.

Posted Apr 8, 2019Is there any chance you can add functionality to the "dried_kelp_block"? Or is there any I could manually add it? Thanks

Posted Apr 13, 2019What kind of functionality do you mean? If you mean just selling it then that should work without issues. Just use the shortened ID of /iteminfo or the auto-fill function.

Posted Apr 4, 2019I've been trying to get this to work in 1.13.2, and have tried a couple of different economy plugins, but no matter what I do I get "[Shop] Economy account from shop owner doesn't exist!" when trying to use player shops. Admin shops work fine, and correctly credit accounts.
I'm running paperclip-572, with ChestShop and Vault, and have tried gMoney and BConomy as economy plugins, which both give the same problem.
I hope this is a common problem with an "oh, you just need to set X" answer, but can provide more details if it isn't.

Posted Apr 5, 2019This was figured out in irc: Both gMoney and BConomy don't properly implement the VaultAPI (the hasAccount check always returns false) resulting in them being incompatible with ChestShop.

Yep, and thanks again!
In response to your suggestion I checked out TheNewEconomy, and it seems to be working thus far. It still requires a bit of configuration, but less so than EssentialsX.
It would be good to know if there are any simpler economy plugins that still work. Might it be worthwhile adding a list of ones that have been tested to the wiki, given that Vault's list is so badly out of date?

Posted Apr 7, 2019Good idea. I've created a page that lists a couple of compatible and known incompatible ones already, if anyone has more please comment on that page :)

Posted Mar 17, 2019I'm unable to sell items both from the 1.13 update like nautilus shells or items with enchantments. I've tried /iteminfo and for nautilus shells it responds as though there is nothing in my hand. For enchanted books it gives a long error
Shop Sign Error: Cannot generate code for item ...
Thank you!
on version 3.9.2 build 86

Posted Apr 5, 2019You are using an old plugin version for 1.12, use the latest development builds linked at the top of the description for proper 1.13 support!

Posted Mar 15, 2019How come when I place an admin shop, I can buy and sell but it doesn't show a transaction log even though I enabled it in the config. Other players can buy and sell but they don't see a transaction log, as well.

Posted Mar 8, 2019The plugin is disabled as stated at the top of the error. You'll have to look at the startup log to see why.
