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!

An easy way to add something similar would be to allow a special item name "random_choice" for instance.
That would only be available for a shop where players buy (to avoid annoyances) and would output a randomly chosen stack out of the chest (probably just the first one that is non empty).
Technically it would need some extra checking on program level, then would just add the stack or a clone of it to the players inventory. An amount greater than one would be that number of stacks then. The checks are pretty simple, for they only demand a free inventory slot for the buyer, without any optimization necessary. This way it is not plain what is sold but it is possible to sell arbitrary items/stacks/enchanted items from one chest.
Maybe that is a realistic feature for future versions (imagine metadatable items or others, for selling complicated stuff this could be an addition).

Posted Mar 20, 2012Is there any intention or possibility of being able to buy/sell multiple item types from a single shop? maybe using spout to build a GUI for shops? sorry it took so long to get back but I've been spending insane amounts of time trying to find good RPG style mods for my server and it's kinda hard since most GOOD RPG plugins/mods are for single player only :/

Posted Mar 19, 2012@bitory You can't use "98:3", only "98"
@vulpineblaze It supports since the damage value was added! Just do /iteminfo to find out the id.

Posted Mar 18, 2012Thank you Acrobot. I had to manage the purchase and sale of various items through the pex. To do this, I cleared the config file (plugin.yml) in section "permission". It would be great if it could support superperms be disabled in config.yml. If you have no trouble, tell me how to Use the syntax of YML in the case when it is necessary to specify here this resolution: - ChestShop.shop.sell.98:3 (a kind of Stone Bricks)

Posted Mar 18, 2012If you are trying to make a chest near spawn, you need to make the bukkit.yml, spawn-radius to 0.
Thanks so much to acrobot who personally come into the server to help us out.

it was placed horizontally like this
[block] [chest] [block] SIGN
but it works with
[Block] [Block] [Block] SIGN [Chest]
I set up the shop like, saiek, 10, B 10:10 S, gold ingot...i have all the money i need, and i'm holding 11 gold ingots. When someone left click, it says they dont have enough items to sell. When they right click, it says the shop if out of stock, even when it has 12 golden ingots in the chest.
