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 Aug 25, 2012The function to autodelete a shop when out of stock (remove and put shopsign in chest)
only works if its the only shop on a single(double) chest.
could u please look into this?
i really like the function since its way more fun for customers to only see actual in stock items, other then shops offering deals they cant even deliver making customers search hunderds of shops to get a item...
Thank you , Strontkever

Posted Aug 24, 2012Hi, I am a server administrator and I am facing a BIG BIG problem ^ ^. I explained we use "chestshop" since the beginning of the server and we never had any problems with lag or other, but since the 1.3 plug is planted in all of our players I had read that it had increased the 'interval of sale, but nothing has changed. We use the latest version of bukkit (R2), can you help us because the sale is the basis of all our gaming system (grades, cities, etc ...)
Good day thank you anyway for this plug in!

Posted Aug 24, 2012Heyy,
I was just wondering if it was possible for shops to pay into Towny town accounts or nation accounts from either a shop or something similar to an admin shop?
Thanks guys

Posted Aug 23, 2012@ewized I've coded it to ignore case-sensitivity and spaces.
@MissPicket Yes, this is already fixed.
Sorry if I don't reply to everyone today, but if you have a feature request/bug report, please report it in the Ticket tracker, like the 2 last guys.

Posted Aug 22, 2012I have a quick question my server is Year4000 and in the config I put the admin shop name as Year4000 but on the sign I could have "Year4000" or "Year 4000" I was wondering if how you coded this for it to work that way because on the server there's both like that and I don't want an update to break half the chops with spaces in it.

Posted Aug 22, 2012Hi!
Any idea why I'm getting this error?
http://pastie.org/private/ztxfbhrjr4xu7iu09lw6pq
(It's a paste of my console, so it should be read last line to first)
I wasn't creating a sign when this happened.
I still have essentials shop signs enabled, if it could be the reason... except nobody was using any shops or signs at the time of the error, I was alone on the server.
Thanks for your help!

Posted Aug 21, 2012I was hoping you could possibly clear something up for me. Other than enabling worldguard integration and adding the 'chestshop allow' flag to an area, what else needs to be done to allow users to place chests and signs in a shop region?

The plugin works fine with CB 1.3.1-R2.0, but written books will lose their contents if bought or sold. Everything else is fine.
