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!

I already tried the beta (2060), but it's the same result.
I tried signshop (http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/signshop/) and that works flawless with cb2060 and cb2083 and iconomy. But I have about 400 shops on the server and that would be a lot of work to convert them, and i need a chest for every shop.
I hope there will be a solution. At the moment the shops are dissabled.

Posted Mar 17, 2012@DimmurWyrd You can't at the moment.
@ThoLav Do you use Vault? It looks like it's a combination with both Essentials and Register. Try installing Vault.

Posted Mar 15, 2012Every time I make a shop it doesn't create it. People can not create, buy, or sell to shops. I use iConomy and I can't seem to see why there's an error.

Posted Mar 14, 2012@UnitedFactions Did you stop the server properly? (Using /stop?) The flag, unfortunately, is added in a "hacky" way, because WorldGuard originally doesn't support custom flags.

Posted Mar 14, 2012@Acrobot Dear acrobot, due the problems with the new permission for worldguard, (Flag)
I have found the issue, when the server reboots the FLAG is gone!!!!
How to reproduce:
1) Start server 2) Type: /region flag global chestshop allow 3) SAVED 4) Reboot server 5) GONE!

Posted Mar 14, 2012@DylanHolmes Go to bukkit.yml, change spawn-radius to 0.
@fjutte Well, admins are players too, right? :P If you don't want to charge them, give them ChestShop.nofee permission
@NotYetRated Hmm, I don't know - you can try, for example, BOSEconomy.

@Acrobot: I saw you've fixed the refund for admins. Why charge admins at all?
