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!

@LordBoos
Could you test if this HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL build fixes that for you:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11388037/Bukkit/ChestShop.jar
If so, just tell me, but switch to your safe version, because I didn't test this one for bugs that much.

Posted Apr 28, 2012@SansNumbers Yes, you get the taxes, but you also assign all Admin Shops to use that account.

@Dagunchi You know it's not easy, right? Also, I'd be glad if you'd put the sugestions under the "Tickets" section of BukkitDev.

Posted Apr 28, 2012Question: if I put someone's minecraft name (i.e. mine) into the config option "SERVER_ECONOMY_ACCOUNT" does that mean I get whatever taxes are removed from the sale?

Posted Apr 28, 2012@Enrux "...here" means that you have either WorldGuard/Towny protection turned on, and the place on which your players are creating shops is protected.
@rasnyderiii Sorry, but that's CraftBukkit's error - it means that he created a sign that wasn't a sign o.0

Posted Apr 27, 2012@TheManiacPT Well, you need to put the sample HTML files to your plugins/ChestShop/HTML folder, or turn off webpage generation?
@GamerByt3 Yes, it seems like SCL fails at scl.chests.getOwner, but I am not sure - I'll test it.
@LordKainzo Well, fail at my side :P I tried casting config's property NAME to double, instead of casting the VALUE :P
It is already fixed, will be in the next version.
