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 10, 2015Hi, Sorry my last message wasn't the clearest. I use bungee , I have bungee config set to online mode true and IP forwarding true , my spigot is set to offline mode but it does receive the true UUID as it should so the UUID is not an issue, it is correct. A player has a chestshop already created in their old name and when they change their name they cannot use it or open it or delete sign from it as they are not owner, currently I have to give staff permissions to break their old signs for them , its hard to test as its only when someone changes name. I am using chestshop v 3.8.1 and with above settings it should simply work but doesn't.
So I have just checked the users.db and can see all the users and their uuids , I checked mine and it is indeed set with true uuid so this is definitely right , a player just changed their name and in the database their name does not exist after both old name or new name , I assume it should always be in there so why was this one not ? Naturally they could not changed their signs and I have had to delete them fro them.

Posted Feb 8, 2015It's saying there is no items in my shop when shop players try to buy, when there is items in the chest. Some items like redstone will sell, when most others wont. Any idea what's causing that?

If you enable ip-forward in your BungeeCord's config.yml and bungeecord in your spigot.yml you will get the real (online) UUIDs on your Minecraft server behind the Proxy and with that namechanges shouldn't be an issue.
@asmit119
That sounds like you either have offline UUIDs or your ChestShop's player database is corrupted. (If you are sure you already had online UUIDs try renaming it and letting ChestShop regenerate it)

I use bungee as well, and the bungee config is set to online mode, however the server with it on it, is OFFLINE. But the UUID's do seem correct, however we have seen the same issue, at first it worked and now players with new names CANNOT use the new name on signs, but instead have to use their old name. I think this should be repairable yes? But indeed currently seeing an issue with bungeecoord.

Posted Feb 5, 2015Hi, As chestshop is uuid ready and ppl have started changing their names they are still locked out of their chests after namechange , I see u did an update a few hours ago.. •[Fix] Fix the situation when a player after a name change is not considered the owner of the shop. WARNING: Offline-mode servers do not store "real" UUIDs even of premium Minecraft players, thus only online-mode servers can benefit from this function
Does this mean as I use bungee and online mode false this update will not work for me ?

Posted Feb 4, 2015Is there anyway to add support for custom items? For example: I have a golden axe that is uniquely named and strikes lighting when clicked, I want my users to be able to sell it, how would I go about doing this? (The custom name isn't an accepted ID and the item doesn't count towards stock when sold as a gold axe.)

Posted Feb 4, 2015I believe I found the cause of the UUID problem after name changes.
When using LWC, the following is performed when protecting a chest.
Protection protection = lwc.getPhysicalDatabase().registerProtection(block.getTypeId(), Protection.Type.PRIVATE, worldName, player.getName(), "", x, y, z);
Notice the player.getName() not player.getUUID().
This is at: src > com.Acrobot.ChestShop.Plugins > LightweightChestProtection.java > method onBlockProtect (Line 101)

Posted Jan 31, 2015@Acrobot
Hello again, I deleted /ChestShop/users.db and re-booted the server. Alas the problem still persists. I tried to place an Admin Shop but no go.
I decided to take a look in the users.db file. I found what looked like an entry with another player's username and UUID and my username and UUID followed by UAdmin ShopAdmin Shop(long number like a UUID.)
And further down there are two lines that refer to the other player's and my username followed by Admin Shop.
I also tried to place a non Admin Shop sign as well as having the other player try to make a shop with no effect.
Do you think that possibly I have some setting that prevents the creation of these signs? I have another plugin, (Ships,) that is driven by signs and they too do not work in the very same way? BTW I have tried ChestShop with Ships uninstalled and vice versa.
Thanks again for you time and patience. :)
PS. fyi I have never encountered a problem with ChestShop and have used it for a long time, its a great plugin. Which makes me think that there might be nothing wrong with it at all and something is wrong with my setup, settings, or other??
