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 2, 2013@PackerbackrGJ85 Well, you could write your own plugin to do that, which hooks into ChestShop. Look into PreTransactionEvent.
@mrchasez :P
@ShadowKillerx Have you checked the config? SHOP_INTERACT_INTERVAL sounds exactly like what you're looking for.

Posted Feb 2, 2013Hello, ChestShop is a great plugin but i think that would be great if you can do something to protect server lag by click to fast the sign, you can easly lag the server if you will click like a moron on sign. So mabey option like you can click 1 time per 2 seconds or something?
Would be great.

Everyone is able to create Chestshops when only one single person (not even a group) has the permission node "ChestShop.shop.create"
Members have the permisison to buy and sell, but not create yet every single one can. I can't figure out the reasoning for this so i am posting here.
We are using bukkit 1.4.7R0.2
Chestshop 0041
Permissions: GroupManager
Edit: Nevermind. Derp.

Posted Feb 1, 2013Hello, is it possible to add an option that Chest Shops can only be bought from/sold to when the owner is either online or offline? I'd like to configure my server to only allow automatic transactions via this plugin when the shop owner is offline. Otherwise the customer have to deal with the merchant themself (it's a roleplay server).
Thanks.

Posted Feb 1, 2013@hallowhead1 Nope, I can't - I already added OddItem plugin support - if you want to use other item names, please use OddItem.
@3ptO Aaand which ChestShop version are you using? Also, which CraftBukkit version are you using?
@Clinot It doesn't work if you use updated ChestShop and CraftBukkit.
@rfsantos1996 Yup, I see - I've fixed it in the "release" version :)
@MC_Redcraft_1010 There is none, I hope that the next download will be a stable one.

Posted Jan 31, 2013With the 1.4 update and anvils that allow players to rename items there is a selling glitch, if you rename an item and sell it to a shop it will not remove the item from your inventory. You can use this for infinite money.

Oh, now its a bug, even with "-chestshop.shop.create" they can create shops WHEN the item doesnt exist ( they re-created the dupe bug using 35:16 as an ID )
@EDIT: *yeah, my server have a lot of people who try to bug the game* you can edit ANY item name (anvil) and sell infinite times

Posted Jan 31, 2013@rfsantos1996 Haha, sorry, after I've re-read it I sounded like an ass - sorry about that! I didn't mean it - it's just that after giving the same response again and again your nerves can sometimes get out of control :P
Yes, you could say it's a ChestShop bug, however it's a deep-rooted problem - it lies within Bukkit itself. I use a function from Bukkit that opens an inventory, such as the chest's inventory here. As any other inventory, it should be auto-closed on teleport, however a bug I've linked you doesn't close the inventory on teleportation, which in result gives us duplication bug.
Again, I'm really sorry for how it sounded and thanks for your help :)

Oh, thanks, i think it was chestshop bug because (for me) only worked when i right clicked the sign, not the chest (maybe a testing fail with my friend) :3
Also, sorry if I offended you, I didnt mean to offend you or look angry with you, I am only trying to help your plugin :3

Posted Jan 31, 2013@rfsantos1996 It's been said like... 200 times now:
It's not a bug in ChestShop, it's a bug in Bukkit:
https://bukkit.atlassian.net/browse/BUKKIT-3021
To work around it, turn off SIGN_CHEST_OPENING in the config.

I know how to duplicate itens with this plugin, now I need to reset my server because too much players know, and change to other plugin until the fix, i will send a video to youtube if you dont understand.
Basicly:
1st line:
2nd line: 1
3rt line: 1
4th line: 1 Im using vault and GroupManager and they can create shops without this node - latest version of Vault)
I will try to fix that, search for bugs in permissions, etc. If still possible to reproduce, I will tell you
Edit:
I added "-chestshop.shop.create" permission and it worked, they cant create any shop now, probably a Permission plugin bug, anyway, thanks. If possible, deny this dupe bug/"hack", maybe it will help other servers

Posted Jan 31, 2013@Hakutaku123 Read the main plugin's thread - it's not a bug, you simply have to remove it from your local.yml file.
@alexmarkey Unfortunately, I do not have one.
@iDemon7 Well, that is the issue. Look in the config. By default, you're blocking people in creative mode from accessing the shop.
