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!

Not yet how stable is that version? We have a few hundred players a day and we rely heavily on it.

Posted Dec 9, 2012Love chestshop, have used it for over 18 months. I know that in the past you could use odditem for aliases, but my big issue is that it seems no longer the case.
When I type in "bluewool" which is an alias we have setup, chestshop turns it into "wool:[data]" which essentially means no one can figure out what the item is.
Is there anyway around this? I want the sign to show the actual alias used.

Sorry, but the second part of your message is unreadable.
@Puremin0rez Yes, it's a problem with iConomy. Try increasing the SHOP_INTERACTION_INTERVAL in ChestShop's config.
@Endless123
Exactly, thank you :)

I found a mistake.
When I create a store (I'm admin) a "AdminShop" says store successfully created.
But when a user vai sell eg cane açuça and he does not have the same açuca cane so he manages to sell. Without the cane açuça.
I use essecial maybe that is the problem.
[portugues]
Encontrei um erro.
Quando crio uma loja(eu sou admin) um "AdminShop" diz loja criada com sucesso.
Mas quando um usuário vai vender por exemplo: cana de açuça e ele não tem a cana de açuca mesmo assim ele consegue vender. Sem ter a cana de açuça.
Eu uso o essecial talvez seja esse o problema.

Posted Dec 8, 2012Question:
Everytime someone sells / buys ALOT from a store over and over, the tick drops significantly on the server. I'm using iConomy.
I'm thinking it might be because iConomy does not put transactions on a thread seperate from main, therefore causing this.
Just want to make sure it's not this plugins fault.

Posted Dec 8, 2012Thats because cocoa beans is a sub item from INK - no Bug.

Posted Dec 7, 2012A few of the item names are still off, for example; "cocoa beans(351:3)" comes up like: "brown ink sack"
Also, with the Essentials' signs, it allows for the player to interact with a sign regardless of item in hand, or how far away they are from it. If this can be done for Chest Shops in the same manner, that would be great! So long as it's efficient.

Yeah - ChestShop version 3.46 does that. That's why it has been reported for at least 30 times and that's why there are test versions :D

I'm not sure what sign caused this error. I can try to investigate further if it happens again.
Thanks for any help. Error did not cause any significant issues, but I figured I should alert you.
