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 17, 2013@UnitedFactions Should still work.
@adencraft_minecraft Leave it as is.
@Mikkets That means that the sign is malformed.
@sxkickass ChestShop can already save transactions to MySQL - just change the settings in bukkit.yml and put a MySQL JDBC connector in your server path.

Posted Apr 15, 2013@xGh0sTkiLLeRx Hmm... This is kind of weird, because I am just saving all the itemmeta to database and generating unique ID for the item - it should work fine. I'll see what I can do about it.
@coolben147 Yes, if you're using an economy plugin other than iConomy/BOSEconomy.
@UltramarineXIII Update ChestShop/CraftBukkit.

Posted Apr 15, 2013Meep.. I don't know how important this is or if this happens with anyone else but, if you rename an item in the anvil and sell it, you can sell it infinitely, is this to do with minecraft or the plugin?

I know, I did exactly that.
I created a shop with 52:92, this means a cow spawner shop.
I was able to sell spawners achieved via a command from Essentials.
But not a spawner from SilkSpawners.
I change the ID (durability) and add a new ItemMeta.
https://github.com/xGhOsTkiLLeRx/SilkSpawners/blob/master/src/main/java/de/dustplanet/util/SilkUtil.java#L236
Any idea what's going on? All I can tell you is that ChestShop is not accepting the spawners, however the output from SilkSpawners verifies that this is a spawner with the right ID.
Edit:
I tested it and disabled the colored names feature of SilkSpawners -> Spawners are sell-able again.
This means only the ItemMeta of the name is blocking it somehow.

Posted Apr 14, 2013@saxons12 Which version of ChestShop are you running?... 2.0?
@NemesisMate Yup, exactly!
@jfudge01 ChestShop doesn't offer /sell hand.
@xGh0sTkiLLeRx The 2nd ID is the correct one you should put on the sign. It's as simple as that :)

Posted Apr 14, 2013Hello Acrobot,
I was told that SilkSpawners is not working fine with ChestChop.
(If you love tickets, you can create one from this comment!)
I re-tested it myself and came to the result, that because of the feature of SilkSpawners that Monster Spawners are renamed to something else (they are showing the mob type in the name), it's not longer possible to sell them.
With /iteminfo I get for example these two outputs
Spawner from Essentials (cow) -> Mob Spawner 52:92
Spawner (renamed [ItemMeta]) from SilkSpawners (cow) -> Mob Spawner 52:92#1
I believe it's due to the #1 or #2 (if i split the stack) that the spawner isn't sold.
Is there anything you could do? Like a toggle for ignoring custom items names?
If I missed something, then please tell me ;)
Cheers

Thank you very much. And... yes, maybe is easier to go into the plugin.yml because of updates too.

Posted Apr 13, 2013Another Bug:
Players can repair items at no cost using ChestShop. If a broken sword (damaged) is but on sale, when it is bought it is fully repaired. This way people can repair their items using 2 accounts. Please fix this.

Posted Apr 13, 2013@NemesisMate Well, it's just easier to go into the plugin.yml, imho - it'll be formatted better than on a webpage. And yes - it'll block all potions.
@bugmeet Yes, it'll work. You just need Vault.
