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 Mar 22, 2012@mrchasez Yeah :/
The only coincidence is that every report I got about the lags was from players using iConomy 6 :/
@ChancreScolex Yep, it also fixed WG problems. And yes, it will be in the new release.
@UnitedFactions Well, I almost got over it now, I will try checking that in few days.

Sorry, Im kinda new to the ticket system. I didnt know where to find it so I assumed it was deleted.
Youre awesome for fixing it so fast :). So it will be in the next release?
Also, do you think its possible to get the same problem from a worldguarded area?

Posted Mar 22, 2012@ChancreScolex ... It was not deleted, it was closed. http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/chestshop/tickets/132-towny-chest-shop-money-dupe/
@mrchasez Well, I'm sorry, but it's not ChestShop's problem. Your economy plugin can't handle that much transactions at a time, try setting it to 1000 or something.
@Zach667711 Well, are you sure that the WHOLE shop is in the region flagged by using /region regionName chestshop allow?

Posted Mar 22, 2012It looks like my ticket was deleted for some reason so Ill post this here.
A user on my server was able to rack up $600,000 due to a bug involving ChestShop + Towny.
To recreate:
1. Be in a town. 2. Create a chest shop. 3. Leave the town. 4. Attempt to destroy the chestshop sign.
When you break the sign, you get refunded $xxx (config) but towny regens the sign. So you can break the sign over and over and keep getting refunded.

Posted Mar 21, 2012Ok one of my users owns a worldguard region and when she trys to put signs over a double chest it will only allow her to put one sign. It says [shops] Can't create a shop here when she places the second sign for melons and the other one was bread (one buying bread one selling melon). Also on this one chest that she has elevated fromt he ground she has the same problem except it wont allow here to create a shop (place a sign) above that chest it says [shops] Can't create a shop then it pops off. Please help me!

Posted Mar 21, 2012@UnitedFactions perhaps it has something to do with chetshops loading later as worldguard in the bukkit server and then making the flag dissapear? Can you check into that?

Posted Mar 20, 2012@mrchasez Look, I don't want to sound rude, but you post that question for the 3rd time, even if I replied to the previous ones.
It is your database that is lagging. You can change the interval between transactions to, for example, 500 (half a second) to prevent freezing.
Go to config.yml, change shop_interaction_interval to 500.
