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!

"Why when someone spam sells to a shop on my server does the server kick everyone off and says "Connection Lost" for everyone? My server has more than enough RAM and this I am sure is not the issue. I have the transactions logged in my console."
If you are running your minecraft server on a windows based machine, and the external database is MySQL, try this soulution:
MySQL tcp/ip socket solution
Keep in mind not all plugins are properly written, and even on a local machine this can be an issue.

Posted Jan 26, 2012@javissurpeme Seems like your config is corrupted - the property "LOG_TO_CONSOLE" isn't true nor false, it's in some other state.
@SmashboxGaming Yep :) Just create a sign with [restricted] on first sign line and the names of the groups on other lines, above your shop sign, and grant your players ChestShop.group.someGroupName (where someGroupName is the name of your group on the sign) permission.
@cuddyier No, it won't - it is just your economy plugin handling the things without caching anything. From ChestShop I can't do anything about it - it's, well, your eco plugin's "fault".

Would disabling the console messages stop chestshop kicking everyone off the server? No?

Is it possible to create a single chest shop that only specific user groups have access to?

Posted Jan 26, 2012@cuddyier You can also make a local MySQL database - you should probably ask your economy plugin's author about it :P

Yes, I have my iconomy database on MySQL to reduce load on the server as it doesn't like much load. My only problem is transfering the data from MySQL to flatfile as resetting money is not an option.

Posted Jan 25, 2012@cuddyier Are you hosting your economy plugin's database on an external server? If so, try to move it to your local server or raise the shop interval between transactions in the config.

Posted Jan 25, 2012Why when someone spam sells to a shop on my server does the server kick everyone off and says "Connection Lost" for everyone? My server has more than enough RAM and this I am sure is not the issue. I have the transactions logged in my console.

Posted Jan 25, 2012@Mr_Mellow Well, you can't buy/sell from your own shops, but other people can. The right-click chest opening is just for you :)

Posted Jan 22, 2012LOL.. well well well
Not mentioning any names but I think we may have had that id10t problem after all :P
I asked him tonight if he was 100% certain that he was ALWAYS clicking the sign and not the chest.. he said yes so I was stumped until a few minutes later when he says "It works now!! Thank you!"
smh and lol..
Thanks for an excellent plugin!!! Now.. if you would build in dynamic pricing for physical server stores (not command based :/) then you would own this market ;)
