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 Mar 30, 2014@theZorro266 I answered it via PM, because he contacted me by 3 means, IIRC (ticket, comment and a PM). I arrived at the same conclusion as you, here is a snippet of the conversation:
" Unfortunately, I cannot see that much of a timing issue within ChestShop - naturally it involves economy, which means that it needs another plugin (and possibly even two, if you use Vault). This results in timings higher than LWC, but not that high if you consider the fact that the economy plugin takes the most time out of the timings.
Regards, Acrobot "
@s4ndal1 Could you create a ticket for it? This way I won't forget about it.
@Adnan2000 It's turned on by default, however there is an option for that in the config.
@starwish25 Please create a ticket for it and I'll make sure to investigate that.

Posted Mar 28, 2014With the later versions, the shops for brewing stands are broken. They take money but it doesnt give them the item. I have tested with player shops as well as the Admin shop with the same result.
Let me know if I am doing something wrong here.

The average is 0.01 ms, which is pretty good. I think he hasn't answered you, because he saw it as well. You cannot read those timing reports, so you should not do it.

Posted Mar 23, 2014I really enjoy this plugin and have since 1.4 but I am having a minor problem with it. Would giving players ChestShop.mod make it where they can only open chestshops in regions that they have access to (they are added as a member or chest-access is allowed in that region) or will it override Regions and give them access to every chest? Any response is greatly appreciated.

Hey Acrobot,
Could you do something about it maybe create your own thread and add code there to execute or something? Because it isn't funny anymore :/ http://puu.sh/7G4qt.png

Posted Mar 21, 2014@Sycholic Means that plugins that don't consider whether the PlayerInteractEvent is cancelled can be broken due to the fact that ChestShop is now operating on a lower priority and cancels the event before the higher priorities can catch it.
Also, if you cancel the event on the EventPriority.LOWEST for some reason, ChestShop now won't execute its InteractListener.
Hope this helped!

Posted Mar 21, 2014Hey Acro could you elaborate more upon your comments in the patch notes on bad coding with what you would consider incorrect coding with handling events. Throw a new javabean a bone. ^_^ Dont wanna end up being considered under that 'group' of coding.
