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!

- /iteminfo <id/name> - Get information about the item with the given id or name
- /shopinfo - Get information about the looked-at shop

- /cstoggle - Toggle buy and sell notificiation messages

Posted Jan 16, 2013@Nikecow Well, hmm... Generally iConomy & miniDB is not the fastest combination out there, it also depends on your HDD's speed. Could you post your config on pastebin.com?

@ramius86 o.0 Somebody tried to use /iteminfo on an invalid potion ID and it seems like it's not documented in Bukkit that it can throw an error... Thanks for the report!

I would assume that (your response to HockeyMike24) also means that we can't sell named/enchanted items because they aren't exactly the same ID as a regular Diamond Axe, for example?

Posted Jan 13, 2013@typhoonwes Thanks for the kind words :)
@HockeyMike24 Nope, unfortunately not yet - similar to fireworks, MC team changed how items are treated - that's why I can't fix it immediately - but I'll try to do it soon :)
@xAstrology Ha, that's a good sign - if you don't need to mess with the config and the plugin works fine out-of-the-box. Sorry for breaking the tradition, unfortunately I can't speak for Bukkit bugs :/
@Sharkykzn Hmm, updating Censorship worked for @typhoonwes' server, and it's weird that your shops don't work - mind making a screenshot of the shop, so I can test it on my server?

Looked into this, as a user of Censorship, downloaded the latest v2.2 along with CS v3.50 t0041. Result same as before. Admin shops fail to work. Went back to CS 3.46 and admin shops function again. I may have another plugin messing with CS at this point. Time to duplicate on a test server, and go through a process of elimination till I know what is breaking it.

Keep up the good work. Thanks for the help us fix our problem.
Anyone that gives Acrobot a hard time, complaining about his plugin, remember that with out this great plugin, your server will be boring. It take time to re-code evertime MineCraft updates.
There are others out there.. but this is far the BEST.!!!
I appreciate the countless hours working to keep this plugin updated and work for the newest bukkit build.
Thanks From the Team at RealmKeepers.net.

Posted Jan 12, 2013URGENT! Can the ability to open a chest by right clicking the shop sign be removed! due to a recently found dupe exploit, where if the player right clicks the sign during tp delay to a different chunk, then removes the items after tping, then if they go back the items are still in the chest as well as them being in inventory. (IF NOT REMOVED THIS WILL RUIN SERVERS)
Thanks,
StyL TwisT
