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!

Nevermind, got it to work. Realised that if the player is holding a sapling, it won't sell. But if they are holding nothing, then it will sell. :)

Posted Jul 29, 2013Hello,
I'm having an issue where no one (not even ops) can sell saplings. When you right click the sign to sell them, it doesn't display anything in chat. Here is a screenshot of the sign: http://snag.gy/DA9u6.jpg
I've tried creating another sign to only sell them, but still doesn't work. Also, players can sell other items perfectly too, just not saplings. Any ideas on whats causing this?
Thanks!

Posted Jul 28, 2013I've seen this have a glitch on some servers. Rename an item with an anvil and it never goes out of stock, is this fixed yet? I pmed you [plugin manager] the server ip if you'd like to check it out. And like I've said, I've seen some servers where it doesn't work, but this particular one does.
Edit
It was like this even before 1.6.2, it had the same glitch So it couldn't be the version, could it?

Posted Jul 28, 2013@jadegreendragon "SERVER_ECONOMY_ACCOUNT".
@Eutherin Well, possibly - you are right-clicking the shop with a block in your hand. Since Minecraft 1.2.x and higher doesn't send packets for such clicks, I cannot recognise that you are clicking a sign.

Posted Jul 25, 2013citate from your questions: When I try to create a shop it says "You can't create this type of shop!"
You need to set up your permissions correctly.
(You need ChestShop.shop.create permission, you can also give your players ChestShop.shop.* permission that allows them to buy, sell things and create shops)
I have to give the users chestshop.* before they can place a sign, doesnt even work with chestshop.shop.create . Then i got a lot of errors in console. Making a ticket now.
