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 26, 2012@Ryan_willo12 It's usable with essentials, just use Vault.
@KodekPL @VexFallstar This is not a bug. It's a feature. To disable that, in PEX you should add a new permission node "-ChestShop.shop.create.*"

Posted Mar 25, 2012@Thisnamewilldo You can change the INTERACTION_INTERVAL in the config. Also, it seems like iConomy 6 is lagging for some people.

Posted Mar 25, 2012@jekeke123 @ExplosiveTaco Well, I can't help you if you don't post anything else, like server log.
@ToXcWaStEBoY1 http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/chestshop/?comment=661
@deleted_8193042 Yeah, I know, but ChestShop 3 is horribly coded at the moment :P I am making ChestShop 4 - it will be a lot easier to add kits or anything like that then.
@wlyshas Update ChestShop?

Posted Mar 25, 2012@PunJedi You use SuperPerms - it's built in bukkit, and PEX uses that.
Also, the negation SHOULD work, but unfortunately, PEX doesn't handle that well. You need to negate it like that:
- -ChestShop.shop.create.*
Alternatively, you can open ChestShop.jar with WinRAR/7Zip, open plugin.yml and change the default: true to default: ops

Posted Mar 24, 2012Right, let me try this again...
From the FAQ
"Why can my players buy/sell/create shops even if they lack the necessary permissions?
Well, it's a superperms (system that Bukkit uses) feature - those are default permissions. You need to negate them (refer to your perm plugin's documentation)"
And what I just posted earlier
"Tried running it with negated node - -Chestshop.shop.create and just removing the node altogether.
Neither fixed the issue and cannot be running until we have class permissions working.
We don't use superperms, we use PEX and checking PEX the above negation "should" work no?

Posted Mar 23, 2012Hi Acrobot -
Any thoughts about adding "kits" to salable items? Being able to sell a full suit of armor, for example, would be awfully useful.
