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!

It has something to do with the permission nodes or something I somewhat fixed the error by giving people with the op role a negative permission node by putting a negative sign next to the permission.

Posted Jun 6, 2019Yes, if you have permission to access chests you can't buy/sell from them by default. Besides not giving the permission node you can also disable the IGNORE_ACCESS_PERMS config option to let people buy/sell even when they can access a shop.

Posted Jun 6, 2019Yes, this error usually occurs when you are using a plugin version that is not made for your server version e.g. 1.12 plugin with a 1.13+ server, update to the latest beta or development build.

Posted May 30, 2019Google Translate: Plugin n works for version 1.8 please fix it
I assume you mean that the plugin doesn't work on 1.8? If so then yes, the latest builds target the latest Minecraft versions (so 1.13+), if you want to use an extremely outdated server version then you'll have to use older plugin versions/builds for it to work and live with not getting new features or support beyond critical fixes.

Posted May 27, 2019Admin shops are not working and I can't figure out what the problem is. I'm using spigot 1.12.2 and chestshop V.3.9.2. Players can do the normal player chest shops but the admin shops are not working for me.

Posted May 30, 2019Make sure that you are actually using the correct name for the admin shop. It has to be the same case as you used in your config. (If you can't figure it out then please provide the exact server and plugin version as well as your log, config and some information about your permission setup)

Posted May 24, 2019Does this support item to item buying/selling or just $ economy ?
-

Send Message
Posted May 26, 2019The plugin itself works with every Vault or Reserve compatible economy plugin. If your question is whether or not this plugin supports direct exchange of items rather than purchasing with a currency (either virtual or based on items) then no. But you can use it together with an economy plugin that uses items as currency rather than a virtual /money command or something like that as long as it implements a Vault or Reserve economy provider.
