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.

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 Jan 12, 2013MAJOR FAULT
Make a chest and put the follow on the sign above it
blank (no really its blank)
1
B 1
384
You have to have 1 XP bottle in it for it to work.
it will give you a bottomless supply of 384/XP bottles for 1$ each and it never runs out.
I have to disable this plugin tonight until its fixed.
Thanks.
UPDATE v3.42 does NOT have this problem.
I think the problem could have something to do with chests being NAMED using an anvil.
Thats what i'm hearing anyway..

Posted Jan 12, 2013@ryan_the_leach Currently being discussed, but will be soon in Vault :D
@fede1608 :)
@Maroseliss Sorry, but that's just how WorldGuard works - unless there is a proper way to add a flag to WorldGuard, I'll be unable to fix that.
For now, the only tips I have is:
- save-all
- don't /reload
@BrennoBot Well, you probably don't have enough money. Either that, or you might not have an economical plugin / Vault.
@joehot200 What size? :D
@typhoonwes Hmm... Looks just fine ._.
Mind PMing me your server's IP? I'll try to join as soon as I can.

I solved it. It was a conflict with the plugin Censorship v2.0. It won't let you create any kind of shops. I don't know who corresponds to fix it. I'll tell the plugin author about this issue. Thanks for answering really fast!
Edit Censorship v 2.2 has already fixed this issue.

Posted Jan 11, 2013Every time I restart my server all of the region flags for ChestShop are removed. The regions are perfectly fine, it's just the ChestShop flag that is removed upon restart.
Worldguard version: 747-e3dfc6a
ChestShop versions I've tried: v3.50 t0039 v3.50 t0041
Spigot version: 1.4.6-R0.2 Build 365 (still on R0.2 due to SpoutPlugin not being updated)

It seems like the shop is not being recognised at all. Hmm, you said that buying and selling does in fact work fine. Could you paste your server's server.log to pastebin.com? "
--------Here is my server.log start up. http://pastebin.com/WVbUCJYu

Posted Jan 11, 2013@Crafter6432 Just increase the SHOP_INTERACT_INTERVAL in the config.
@ManBeastPigDev It sounds like that plugin might be conflicting with Bukkit.

Posted Jan 11, 2013If my players put 64 of an item in a chest it seems the chest never runs out of stock.
So they are all selling 64 diamonds for $1 and selling them on to other players.
I don't know the cause.
Actually i think it was a conflict with this
dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/lwc-unlock/
I dont know for sure but i know it started when i installed it and stopped when i removed it.
So...

I could create shops before, it's not a noob mistake. But after I upgraded to CB 1.4.6, It stopped working correctly. It's really weird. I upgraded CS to the last version and I still can't create any kind of shop.

This is normally done as follows: (from main plugin thread)
What is an Admin Shop? Admin shop is the shop that doesn't require a chest, because it has infinite stock. If you sell to it, the items will disappear, and if you buy from it, items will magically appear. To create one, you have to be Admin/OP. Just put "Admin Shop" (or anything specified in config.yml file - ADMIN_SHOP_NAME: "Admin Shop". First line of your Admin Shop's sign should look like this) on the first line of the sign.
