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

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 28, 2016Getting a strange issue that seems to have started occurring out of the blue. Many of my players, when attempting to place a chestshop sign on a chest, are receiving the error, "You can't make a shop here". I've tried disabling the option in the config to prevent multiple shops in one location, but that hasn't helped. They have the correct permissions so I'm at a loss.

Posted Jan 21, 2016Hi!
How do I create a chest shop, which is a single chest which you put everything in and then exit it, and then it gives you the money for all the items?

Posted Jan 13, 2016A notification when a user buys from your shop would be great, and I know you plan to implement this. Hopefully you can get this out soon. Also, admin shops don't seem to work with custom items. I'm not sure if it's just me or if it just isn't implemented yet. Thanks!

Yes, it does support lores, enchantments and custom item displaynames.
@KazTheHusky
The default name of the admin shop is "Admin Shop", you are missing a space there.
@Frodaxx
Id does to the buyer and shop owner, do you mean as a broadcast to everyone? That might be better of in a small, separate plugin that listens on the buy transaction event.
@SCURRR
ChestShop already uses UUIDs in the newer versions.

Posted Jan 2, 2016I'm having problems with this plugin. Everything is configured properly, but after creating an AdminShop, players are unable to interact with the adminshops. It's not WorldGuard flags, already checked that, and ChestShop does give the "shop created successfully" message. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Example shop I made AdminShop 1 B 500:50 S 306 It's an Iron Helmet, and for whatever reason it's not able to be purchased.
