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 26, 2012@fccardiff No, ChestShop only GENERATED the HTML files. It's not a web host - you need to use other plugin/program to do that.
@DreamLurker Check if /iteminfo shows the correct item id.
@TheManiacPT You must post the whole error.
@xenocidic_ Well, the person who is paying money is paying tax, and it is taken from the amount given.
So yes, when shop buys for 10$, you will get only 9$. That's how it works in real life too - they just make the prices higher, so the tax is also included :)
@GamerByt3 Hmm, seems like SimpleChestLock fails. Are you using it?
@michaelbolland Already updated in 3.40
@thernztrom Update your Towny?

Alright, do I need to open a specific port or something so that people can view ChestShop HTML files from a website? Or is it something more simple... haha

Posted Apr 26, 2012Hi I'm using the newest iConomy and Chest shop. I just downloaded and installed it yesterday for some reason I can only create AdminShops. If I create a shop with my username and someone clicks on it even if it's fully stocked it says it's out of stock.

Posted Apr 25, 2012@Acrobot - if you are saying that selling to shops is also taxed, who pays the tax?
If taxes are 10%, and I sell an item to a shop for 10 $ - does that mean I only get 9 $?
And in that case, wouldn't the ChestShop signs be misleading? It would be advertised that I'm getting 10 $ to sell 1 item but I will only get 9 $ because of the tax.

Posted Apr 25, 2012Could not pass event BlockPlaceEvent to ChestShop
Hi I've been getting the pasted error in the last couple of days. It's seemingly come out of the blue. I updated from v3.39 to 3.40 hoping for a fix but error persisted. It throws no errors on startup.The pasted error will often repeat back to back to back.
Players are still able to buy and sell to the admin shop so it doesn't seem to be effecting anything vital atm but does cause me some concern.

Posted Apr 25, 2012@ProjectInfinity No, it works for people selling to shops too.
@fccardiff Yeah, basically you just put the files, so there is a plugins/ChestShop/HTML folder. Inside it, there should be 3 files that you downloaded. After doing that, just change things in config :)

Okay, I'll just copy and paste what he wrote on HackForums. :)
This method allows you to duplicate items, given you can make chestshops.
Requires: - Access to create a *Double Chested* chestshop - 2 People - ONE of an item you wish to dupe.
Method: Make a double-chested chest shop for the item you want to dupe. On the sign, sell the item at *2* per purchase, at a ridiculously low rate (so the other person does not run out of money). Place the single item in the chest, and have the person buy it. He will get two items from the purchase, even though you only placed one. Have him hand back the items. Now, leave the chest open, and keep placing one item in at a time as he purchases them. Works for every item.

Posted Apr 24, 2012I've downloaded the HTML Files, are these files to generate a webpage with all of the shops' buy and sell prices? If so, Awesome! How can I set it up? Haven't been able to find a tutorial...
Thanks in advance!
