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 Jul 5, 2015I notice this is called "iConomy Chest Shop" so I have a few questions:
This requires vault, though it shouldn't if I'm using iConomy?
Multi-world/multi-currency support: does it actually work properly? (ie: player1 buys from player2 in worldA, player2 is playing in worldB but his balance in worldA is changed)
If you do not really support multiple worlds, why (like others) would you say you do?

Posted Jul 5, 2015@TheFenixFire Sorry for not responding in the comments, professional life unfortunately recently gets into the development of ChestShop.
There is not much I can do with BlockPhysicsEvent. It basically is there so no sign attached to sand/gravel can be broken just by TNT/breaking sand beneath. It is also there so the shop owner can destroy the block and ChestShop will let him do it.
I am trying my best - believe me. However again, my time is limited and I just cannot work on ChestShop as often as I could before.
I was trying to explain to @hutt132 that having 32,913.0k (== 32,913,000) events fired in 40 seconds is bad and it is not ChestShop that causes the lag, but it seems like it is falling on deaf ears. Well, there is nothing else I can really say. I will be trying to improve ChestShop's performance, however the remaining miliseconds will still "lag", according to some.
EDIT: Also, SignBreak.onSign(BlockPhysicsEvent) does not care for falling sand/gravel, it cares for the signs that are "popping off" - the events I am checking are fired for signs.

I agree with you. That issue is happening on multiple servers, and whenever I do profiling, it always seems to be from ChestShop's event listeners.
HOWEVER, some things need to be made clear.
1) It might be true that the only way ChestShop can do what it does is by using the BlockPhysicsEvent listener.
2) ChestShop has NO control over how many times that event is triggered on a server. If the server does wacky things, even if a DIFFERENT plugin triggers that BlockPhysicsEvent, ChestShop has no control over it.
3) With regards to your comment " If you insist on using BlockPhysicsEvent, at least have it trigger only when sand and gravel fall, instead of every time a piece of redstone turns on and off or vines grow." There is no way to do that. When an event listener is created for an event, like BlockPhysicsEvent, there is no way to tell it "Only listen to that event if these conditions are met ...". You need to have a method that is an event listener (which will ALWAYS be called when that event is triggered, no matter what), then inside that method, you need to test it for the conditions you want.
That being said, I DO think that the ChestShop author needs to look at either writing the event listener in a more friendly fashion in order to handle servers with a high level of BlockPhysicsEvents, OR he needs to see if the same things can be done with a DIFFERENT event, and stop using BlockPhysicsEvent.
@Acrobot, would you at least be amenable to looking into those two options? Thank you.

"No, I cannot make it not handle it. Really the issue is not with ChestShop. As you can see, it takes 7.23 ms to process an event - a really short time."
http://timings.aikar.co/?url=11814683
"Average Players: 10.42 - Average TPS: 13.15"
"ChestShop v3.8.10 Total: 39.452 s Pct: 16.84%"
And Acrobot claims the issue isn't with ChestShop...
This is ridiculous. SignBreak::onSign is being called with every physics event. This needs to be addressed. Multiple people are having the same exact issue. If you insist on using BlockPhysicsEvent, at least have it trigger only when sand and gravel fall, instead of every time a piece of redstone turns on and off or vines grow.

Posted Jun 28, 2015Just wondering if I can get the chestshop worldguard flag working in 1.8 (NMS version v1_8_R2)...
I don't get a stacktrace on load and worldguard simply tells me that the flag "chestshop" doesn't exist.

This is due to Hoppers, restrict/remove them.

Posted Jun 17, 2015I love this plugin. It works as intended and is simple and intuitive. I have a question, now- is it possible for this shop to sell items created by another plugin? So if I have plugin y that lets you create an item x, will this allow people to sell/buy item x?

Could you add a option to let everybody decide if you want this event check? I would rather have some corrupted chestshops in my file than this check everytime when sand/gravel falls down :/ Would be great, I hope nothing speaks against it.
