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 Apr 6, 2012Hey, is there anyway to limit users to having to use the id of the item they want to sell? i am making a web interface for this plugin (for my server) but it is hard to link when people randomly type stuff like 'melon slice' and 'Rotten_Flesh' on the fourth line. It would be easier for them to type the ID and let the plugin convert it to its correct name, of which then i can make variable for :)
Cheers Spidi

Also, do you get any errors in console?
@Siloxis Well, are you sure that you installed ChestShop? (You need to have ChestShop.jar in your plugin directory)

Posted Apr 6, 2012When i try to buy something by rightclicking from a Admin Shop it just say's:
[EssentialsProtect] Protection owner: (my name) Notice: That private sign is locked by you.
I have installed EssentialsProtect and LWC But i can still sell things by leftclicking. And I've looked around in the ChestShop config files and i DON'T want to reverse the mouse, i still want to both sell and buy.
PLS help!

@bwinkl04
Sorry, I probably wasn't very clear. What I want to do is have an admin shop that when an item is purchased, the item ALWAYS goes to the same user listed on the sign no matter where they are.
So if I purchase an item from the admin shop, the item is automatically added to JohnDoes inventory. If you purchase an item from the admin store, it is also automatically added to JohnDoes inventory.
Sort of a donation system to certain users.
I hope this makes sense.

Hello my problem is that even though the player has no chestshop permissions he can create shops?
All of my other permissions are working just fine, I'm using PEX v. 1.19.1
Also I am trying to restrict it so that only some groups can sell certain items, the idea is that everybody starts out as member, without permissions to use chestshops (Sadly they can use chestshops anyway), they then buy the permissions to open a chest shop in one of the preofessions (PotionMaster, GearMaster, Farmer, Builder and Miner). So basically they will have 2 groups, which is working (I've tested with other permissions).
They should be allowed to sell and buy anything, but only create certain chestshops, here's my permissions.cfg
Link; http://pastebin.com/X5d0xtL2
Any clues as to why this is not working out for me?

Posted Apr 4, 2012@raniy Could you post the contents of the plugin.yml? Also, are you 100% sure that those people who you tested this on weren't OPs/admins?

Posted Apr 4, 2012On CB #2149, and ChestShop 3.39 I have the same problem as notcam45.
Ive set the negative node in PEx as you say, and edited the YML to be on the safe side People who clearly DO NOT have permission are still making ChestShops.

Posted Apr 4, 2012@ToddVee It already works with MySQL. Just turn on the LOG_TO_DATABASE and change the database stuff in bukkit.yml
However, I got some reports that it didn't work with MySQL - that would be Bukkit's issue. Just test it and tell me.

Posted Apr 4, 2012hi,
do you see any possibility to make your mod mysql-fit? on our server, we are looking for ideas and ways to reward players when they buy things from a shop, on the other hand, we could link the physical shops with our web shop system. all we (minimum requirement) need is the log file to be mysql-fit, so we could "export" information from the mod. do you see any possibilities?

Posted Apr 4, 2012@UnitedFactions Hey hey, sorry, I didn't see your post -.-
Did you try turning off the WG integration in the config? If that won't work, try using that version:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11388037/Bukkit/ChestShop.jar
(I also added a setting so you can toggle if you want to use the flag :))
