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 May 9, 2012@bjornleijdstrom What do you mean by "prefix"?
@Geoneo97 Hmm, if I understand you right it is already in the config, "ADMIN_SHOP_NAME"
@Si7VdeR What do you mean by "isn't working"?

Posted May 8, 2012@nhoclesnar Sorry, I have no idea what is wrong with the page.
Also, you can't sell damaged tools.
@Faldonboy No, I think that at the moment it only works with safe enchantments.

Posted May 6, 2012Can chest shops accept unsafe/custom enchantments? Even when I use the item id
the /iteminfo gives me it doesn't work. Is there a way? If not can you please add one.

Posted May 6, 2012@aPandaification Just do /iteminfo while you're holding the item, it will tell you the name and ID of the item.
It's "Sulphur", ID 289

you can use the ID, cause when you put the ID and after you finish editing the sign, it'll replace the ID by the actual name :)

Posted May 5, 2012I'm using that test version you gave me, and I can't turn off console logging... Very annoying. I've set log to console false, and even log to file false, but I'm still getting messages...

Ah yes, I forked it only so I could make the changes immediately for myself as I need it desperately (4-5 transactions a second takes a massive toll on server performance).
Anyway, as long as this is fixed in your next version I'm sure everything is fine. :)

Posted May 5, 2012@ProjectInfinity No, I am waiting to push all the commits (it will be one big commit, because that's a huge re-write of code).
I saw you forking the code, but I'm sorry, it can't be merged - my code now is different :/

Posted May 5, 2012@CosmicVoyager Do /iteminfo
The pistons usually have a data value.
@byzantinian It will be a RB soon :P
I just don't want to release a buggy version, so I need people to test it :)
@HaxtorMoogle Really? Hmm, ok, I'll try fixing that.
@n3wton Hmmm... Did you try it with the new Alpha version? (You can find it in comments on the previous page or the one before it)

Posted May 4, 2012Hello,
I can not sell pistons ot sticky pistons. I enter their codes, 33 and 29.
Buying works, but selling the exact same item does not.
Does it work for anyone else?
Thanks
