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 Feb 15, 2013@bernardopmbr Look - it's simply not possible. The only way is to increate SHOP_INTERACT_INTERVAL. I'm really interested in the performance you gave - that would mean that even if you're running 10 TPS, ChestShop takes over half of the tick. Are you sure about that estimation?
ChestShop is performance-intensive, because it uses your economy plugin. If the plugin is incorrectly configured then, well, it will lag. Otherwise, I can't find any reason to why it would lag.
@iJordyM Have you got Vault installed?

Posted Feb 15, 2013@bernardopmbr Huh. Have you actually tried the latest version? It should improve the performance by A LOT.
@alfjan Hmm... No idea. Have you tried buying/selling without any items in hand?
Also, @alexmarkey, please read the responses I've given over the last 3 months.
@Solblade45 That is probably a bug with your CraftBukkit/server software. Are you running tekkit?

This server is running CraftBukkit version git-Bukkit-1.4.7-R1.0-b2624jnks (MC: 1.4.7) (Implementing API version 1.4.7-R1.0)
The error still is without CoreProtect. Version was CoreProtect v1.76.
I'm testing in Survival and Adventuremode both the same problem.

Posted Feb 14, 2013@bernardopmbr Sorry, but no way to do that. I'm making ChestShop as fast as I can, there is simply no way to make it faster. If you have so much lag, there's probably something wrong with your economy plugin.

Acrobot, can you make a chestshop Light ? Here in brazil, 50% of the servers are full pvp, and i have like 100000ms of lag caused by chestshop in about 5000 ticks with 250 players online , cause the chestshop activity are intense. Please :p ( i already changed the transaction interval to 1000ms but didnt work )

Posted Feb 13, 2013@BlueFusion95 Yup, that's a definitive bug :)
@Xephi59 I'm making an option in config to toggle that on and off, if you need :)
For the people telling me about the teleportation dupe glitch - I won't reply anymore. Seriously. Read the comments.
