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 Jul 22, 2013@Rradza I need information: - about which ChestShop version you are using (/csversion) - about which CraftBukkit build you are using (/csversion) - about the economy plugin you're using
@Mr_H4mm3r Okay. The issue is your config. You've set both "TAX_AMOUNT" and "SERVER_TAX_AMOUNT" to '100' - which equals 100%. That means that 100% of the price goes to the server account, instead of players. Reduce that to, let's say, 10%, and you should be fine.
@MineCrafterCity No.

It has happened with all the 1.6.(1/2) builds. It worked fine in 1.5.2. That's why I think it's quite strange? I can send you my config and eventually a picture of a shop.
Btw this happens for me too and I'm having the '*' in GroupManager

Posted Jul 21, 2013@RiccardoF That's exactly what the flag is for. However, be aware that its implementation is currently experimental - it might even erase your flags!.
@Mr_H4mm3r What I'm asking is - did it also happen in an older Bukkit build? If not, it might be an issue with Bukkit, in which case we shall investigate it.
Just to check - could I see your ChestShop's config? Also, please make sure that iConomy doesn't show any errors on transaction/startup.

It looks to me that you can use 'ChestShop.Mod'. See above in the description.

Delete iConomy files (i think you have updated it); the config.yml has changes; i know that this will be bad for users because it wil reset their accounts and you will have to set up iConomy again, then buy and sell 3 - 4 times and try /bal or /money and you will see that it works. Discovered it using Notepad when i reinstalled iConomy

Posted Jul 19, 2013@Mr_H4mm3r Does that only happen in 1.6.2? Have you tried updating your CraftBukkit build?
@nxtguy Thanks :) Unfortunately, I do not have a list.
@ManicManBen /bal is not a ChestShop command.
@tenebraemaximus Exactly :D

Posted Jul 19, 2013SEVERE: [ChestShop] You lack the necessary HTML files in your plugins/ChestShop/HTML folder!
What files are needed in that folder? It is not autogenerated, even the folder.
When i google this, i get information about tickets saying the same, missing files. When i add the files, i still get the console msg.

Chestshop only handles players selling/buying items with chestshops. If you're having issues with /bal, that command is being handled by a different plugin.

Posted Jul 18, 2013In 1.6.2 my players don't get money when they sell the items. They can sell and the message appears and the items disappears, but they don't get any money. I'm using CS 3.5 and iConomy (With Vault)
Edit: They lose money when buying (from the same shop too)

Posted Jul 18, 2013This plugin is great but it doesn't seem to take money away from the player. I am using MineConomy, Vault and PEX if that helps. Any ideas on how to fix? I did not add any permissions yet.... Thanks!!!!

Posted Jul 17, 2013@FabioZumbi12 I'm sorry, but I can't confirm - I tested item no. 417, Iron Horse Armour - works just fine. Which items are you experiencing problems with?
