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 Dec 12, 2011@patey5 What is the exact error? Are you sure it isn't connected to LWC?
@123vinny456 The problem is - Bukkit isn't yet 1.0.0 capable (I mean - it works, but there is no API yet) Also, there is a problem - how should we indicate on sign that the item is enchanted?

I'm having the same problem. Our users can create shops even though they don't have ChestShop.shop.create in bPermissions with GroupManager

Posted Dec 11, 2011@Qx2 You can configure iConomy to do that. Just go into config and change your currency to "item"
@Zidkon That actually means that it works correctly with superperms. Superperms allow plugins to define default permissions. To change that, just do
^ChestShop.shop.create
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/chestshop/tickets/20-permissions-error/
@patey5 Try checking the config if you have WorldGuard integration turned on - if so, turn it off.

Posted Dec 10, 2011The plugin doesn't work correctly for CB 1577 with bPermissions (superperms).
All my users on my server can create Shops even if they don't have the permission ChestShop.shop.create.

I'd say that you just have to do /iteminfo :)

Try using the Data Id instead of the whole word.
Use this link to use a rough potion generator. http://www.nexisonline.net/potions.php
The advantage is, you can see the id's for the potion combo.
Also, some folks have started an ID list for potions but with some 16 thousands potential combos, Id suggest finding a few popular ones, getting the ID's for them, and just sell what you can for the moment.

Good luck with school and don't let us bog you down XD.
Anyways, I was wondering how enchanted items will be dealt with.
