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 29, 2012@kcorb90 "You cannot buy here" really means that your 3rd sign line is wrong. It should be like:
B 5
S 5
B 5:5 S
Maybe you are getting a different error? If so, can you post it? (Exact words, please)

Posted Mar 29, 2012@Redstoner_Pro ... Did you even read what I said, or did you just ignore it? I CAN'T MOVE IT OUT OF THE .JAR, because that's the way bukkit reads plugins.

So instead of hiding it in the jar. Move the setting to the config file like all other plugins do.
default-perm: op or default-perm: default. Is this really that hard to do... Ive got over 30 plugins that can do this... I dont see why you cannot.
Plus with the setting being in the .jar, make ridiculous steps to update this.. every time u release an update... ill have to go back into the jar and rechange that setting AGAIN. do you see why i say that u didnt fully think out your process.......

Posted Mar 28, 2012@mantegudo Hey, did you try redownloading ChestShop and LWC?
@Cory_ Sorry, not at the moment, but bank support is planned.
@Hangar Thanks :)

You can already do that, just look for SHOP_INTERACT_INTERVAL in config

Posted Mar 28, 2012Could you also plan for a CraftConomy support with bank accounts and users added to the account will be able to create signs on the 1st line?
It works with regular money accounts, just be easier with 'Bank Accounts' as it would be used for Towns. (If Oped)

Re: ragers: I think if you're going to cater to any crowd, you should choose the one that can actually figure out how to implement a permissions plugin, not those that can't or refuse to try for whatever personal reasons. The fact is that with the barrier to entry (to setting up a server) being so very low, too many people have servers that really should not. Ignore the rage from these people when they can't figure out how to install or configure a plugin. They will be the first to dump their server when they get frustrated anyway.
/2 cents off

Posted Mar 27, 2012We are timing out because people are spamming selling items. Any thing you can add that will alow then only to sell soo much in 1 - 10 sec.

Posted Mar 27, 2012@Redstoner_Pro It isn't hidden. It's a part of how Bukkit registers plugin. For more, you can read it here:
http://wiki.bukkit.org/Plugin_YAML
Due to the way SuperPerms works, I can't test if you're running any permission plugin or not.
Basically, if I didn't give the permission to create and use shops by default, people without permission plugin WOULDN'T be able to use this plugin.
Believe me, I'm not happy with that too. I am properly using the default permissions system and I'm being raged on, because of how other plugins DON'T obey the standard.
You can change this freely. A .jar file is basically a ZIP. Just open it with WinRAR/7Zip, go to plugin.yml and change "default: true" to "default: ops". It's not that hard.
I will probably change it though, because most of the servers still assign the nodes as usual. If I'm being raged on again after that change, I'll pass.

Posted Mar 27, 2012I see so many people having an issue with the permissions on all types of perm plugins, even myself with bperms have issues with the shop create node. Why would you change to the fact that everyone can create a shop by default. And then, hide the setting for it in the .jar file. There should be an option in the config file for this, and 90% of servers that use this plugin, limit the creation of shops by new players. Why not go back to how every other plugin works, Default to OP unless WE as the server owners specify it in a config file. now instead of having to just give permissions to who we want to use the shop, we now also have to set negative perms for the groups we don't want to make them. just sounds like not a lot of though was put into that change. I have an overlapping rank system and assigning negative permission node overwrite a few of the other groups nodes. Now could you please fix this BUG, as it the option is not properly implemented without an option to change this.

Posted Mar 27, 2012@Taeila_Fae In bPermissions, you should add "^ChestShop.shop.create"
@steve0145
Just open ChestShop.jar and change "default: true" to "default: ops" in bukkit.yml
