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 19, 2012im trying to make rentable shop plots (with simple region market) and i have run into the issue of when the region changes hands to the next member(world guard based) the chestshop sign can't be destroyed by the new owner. Is there a way to do this simply?

Does ChestShop filter colors ? You could leave that to the user then ...
Another thing: Internally you are using some economy interface that is settable by an external plugin (great!), i am using that... i hope you keep it accessible, for i don't like to employ another plugin for linking just to get less functionality :)

Posted Apr 19, 2012@ryguy147 Unfortunately, blame Notch again - colour codes take 2 characters, so that would mean that instead of fitting 15 characters, I could only fit 13.
The only reasonable option would be to do that on the quantity line.

Posted Apr 19, 2012One improvement: The first line of Chest Shop sign is a configurable color for exchanges, in stock, and out of stock.

Posted Apr 19, 2012@selfservice0 Nah, sorry - that was more of a bug-fix build.
@LordValgor No, it was never a feature of ChestShop (but probably will be in future :P)
You can just create one sign that sells a certain item and other that buys other item :P

Posted Apr 19, 2012Hmm, am I still allowed to create a shop and allow the player to trade certain items for what is in the chest?
I feel that I used to be able to do that... maybe not lol I can't remember.

Posted Apr 19, 2012@tcgnet No, I can't. Update your server to at least 1.1-R8, and even 3.39 will work.

Posted Apr 19, 2012Hello! I was wondering if ChestShop will use the IConomy money since it says [IConomy], but i can still do /balance and get the gray: balance: <money> and i can do /money and get the <green>[<white>Money<green>]<white> (money amount) do both of those money accounts work together or are they separate?

Posted Apr 18, 2012@Cubanrevel The statistics webpage was down for a moment. If you want to disable statistics, go to plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml and change opt-out to true.
However, this was just a temporary error, so if you still want to help me, you can just wait- it's nothing dangerous.
