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!

- /cstoggle - Toggle buy and sell notificiation messages

Greetings @thequijibo have you set another String in the config for "ADMIN_SHOP_NAME:"?
If you have changed the string for this option you have to write this string on the first line on a sign ingame and wrote only the string without ""
In my Server the full option looks like this: ADMIN_SHOP_NAME: "Server Shop".
And If I wrote Server Shop without "" on the first line from the sign, it will create the Admin Shop.
Try this, if this work, you can reply to this ^^
I hope i can helped you with my solution.

Posted Jul 8, 2019There is a config option to disable the ignoring of people that have permissions to access shops. You could also negate the access permissions if you don't want anyone to have access to other players shops.

Posted Jun 12, 2019Is it possible for the cost to be items instead of money? Our server isn't using any economy plugins and we want just diamonds to be the currency.
-

Send Message
Posted Jul 8, 2019Not without using a Vault-compatible economy plugin that translates numbers into items (e.g. make the currency diamonds so that 10 on the sign equals 10 diamond in the inventory)
But it doesn't support exchange of items if that's what you mean and the internal structure wouldn't even support that if one would want to add that after the fact. Also the sign wouldn't be big enough to hold that much information anyways.

Posted Jul 8, 2019Please provide the exact server and plugin version. Also you don't need to write your own name on the shop, the plugin will automatically insert the correct one.

Due to update 1.13, it does not allow you to use the ids to set the shop. and there are items with big names that do not fit when writing in sign (Diamond Chestplate and others) have any solutions for this? would you be able to do the plugin until it is compatible with the ID library for example?

Posted Jun 9, 2019Please use the latest beta or development builds if you want 1.13 compatibility. For long item names it will automatically generate a short form that fits on the sign when you use the auto fill function or the /iteminfo command.

Hey, I have the default configuration, just loaded the plugin without doing anything to it on my 1.14.2 server, the latest version of the plugin, and I'm having the same issue. When my users right click on the Admin Shop sign it says they don't have enough money to purchase the item even if they clearly do. I use Just Essentials and Vault for Economy.

Posted Jun 6, 2019By default people with the permission to access a shop cannot buy to/sell from them. Either remove the access permission or set IGNORE_ACCESS_PERMS to false in the config.

Posted May 31, 2019Hey, I'm having an issue on my server where when I try to buy something or sell something from a player sign on a chest (as an op), it just opens the chest and won't let me buy/sell. I'm on the most recent version of everything, is there something I'm doing wrong? Thank you.
