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 26, 2012@Totenfluch Yeah, I actually know that. It seems like it's a bug in Bukkit :/
@xduckxx Any errors in console?
@mikesaidhello Downgrade to PEX 1.17, pex 1.18 is buggy as hell.
@athlavard I already have the R5-ready version done, posted a few comment pages ago.
@Elia1995 3rd sign line is wrong. It's B 5 S 5 B 5:5 S
@ChaoticTrack You can use a Showcase mod for it :)
@DarklightPvP Supports ANY economy plugin supported by Vault.

Posted Feb 25, 2012Permissions Nodes don't seem to like PermissionsEx. Theyre not acknowledged at all for me. I gave myself all the permissions, and I cant make a shop. I still have to OP everyone who wants to make one :\

when you check that what l4pierce means, and problem is not fixed, check that: when the shop is near the Spawn, than look in your bukkit.yml, change spawn-radius to "0", restart your server and test it again ;)

2 things to check
1: make sure the 3rd line (the buy/sell line) is in the EXACT correct format.. if u paste what your writing there here, i can check that for you... 2: make sure you have the permissions. ChestShop.shop.buy and ChestShop.shop.sell (or ChestShop.shop.admin gives you all)

Posted Feb 24, 2012@UnitedFactions Well, the information gets saved in the database. To do that, you just have to set up a PHP webpage that gets the records from that DB.

Posted Feb 24, 2012Hi I was wondering if you could set it up so that you can see WHO bought or WHO sold the item at the webpage / database :) I mean you also keep track of this right?
So include playernames :) At the webpage!
Would be awesome! They can compete and see how much they selL!
Thanks :)

Posted Feb 22, 2012@JoneKone @wesley4220336 R5 is not a recommended version yet. If you want to use ChestShop with it, use http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11388037/Bukkit/R5iThink/ChestShop.jar
@l4pierce Well, I'll try :)
@darkcloud784 OddItem is case-sensitive. That might be a slight problem :/

Posted Feb 21, 2012@Acrobot Hello! I absolutely love your plugin! I sell plots and shop licensces to my players, but some of them were wondering, i there any possible way to add a feature that when they log in.. it tells them "you have made X amount of dollars off of your shop!"? This would be a great feature! Thanks! -L4
