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 Aug 18, 2020Make sure there are no errors in your log file and that you are testing with normal user permissions (shop owners and people with access permissions will not be able to trade with shops that they have access to by default. Try the /csaccess command or the ignore_access_perms config option)

Posted Aug 9, 2020No, you don't need to set anything up, simply install ChestShop, EssentialsX and Vault and it should hook into that (it should say so in the startup log of ChestShop). Make sure there are no other errors and that you are using the correct plugin versions for your server version.

Posted Aug 6, 2020This is only a warning not an error and its due to there not being a server economy account set. It will still work without it (it will just not move the money of the admin shop to an account) and the warning itself has been removed in the latest dev builds already for the case where its empty as it serves no purpose.

Posted Jul 31, 2020Heya bud, i was just wondering if there was already default values for items set, or is it all decided on. Im looking to make a server but i didnt know wether or not to start deciding on how much each item is actually gonna be worth in the admin shops. Also is there a /sell hand command? Or is that a feature from another plugin ive seen.
Thanks :)

Posted Jul 31, 2020There are no default values, all prices get defined directly on the sign. Also the plugin does not have a /sell command, it all works via shop signs. You might be thinking of Essentials or some other plugin.

Posted Jul 30, 2020Is it possible to summon enchanted item by /csgive ?
If it is... how would look command for iron sword with unbreaking?
I tried to look it up on google but failed. There were only commands for /i or /give. Not for that plugin.

Posted Jul 28, 2020You have to make sure the player can interact with the shop. Also you shouldn't need to grant any special permissions as user permissions are granted by default. If you can't get it to work feel free to open an issue and provide the requested information (log, config, plugin/server versions)

Posted Jul 23, 2020When I create a shop for the new items in 1.16.1 as Netherite ingots or warped stem, for example, it says invalid id's. I have tried with id's from the MC wiki and the name and such but nothing is working. Items like dirt or wood are working fine but not the new items.
I have the latest Paper build installed.
Latest 3.11 CS installed.
How do I fix this?
