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 Oct 25, 2013Very happy with this plugin: It does however have one "flaw": I have vendors that buy and sell -for example- diamond swords for $1000.
people can abuse that: 1) buy sword 2) use until almost entirely broken 3) sell for $1000 4) buy brand new one
I wish it was like this: 1) buy sword 2) use until it's 50% broken (as example) 3) sell for $500 (because it's half broken) 4) now you can't sell it for the full price..
it's a exploit I have found, and so far I don't think many people know about it, at least for what I have heard. Fixing this would however cost some nasty coding, I presume. Just thought I would let you adminpeoples know, because it could happen on your servers too.
I already have submitted a ticket...

Posted Oct 16, 2013@Crazdale Try using '&' instead of '§' in the config.

Posted Oct 16, 2013Hey guys, I'm using a 1.6.2 build of Chestshop, one of the earlier 1.6.2 builds too... it works fine and dandy, but when players see a message in chat from the shop, it has these weird lil' A symbols before and after the shops name.
The exact symbol is Ȃ I do believe. So in chat, players see Ȃ[Shop] Ȃ (rest of the message).
I've been using the default config files, and looked at the local config, and seen it has color formatting of "§a[Shop] §r (message)", or something similar to that. Color codes seem to work in chat, but that stupid A symbol pops up in every message. Anyone know the cause for this, and how to keep color codes and eliminate this symbol? When I alter the local config and remove the color codes, the symbol disappears, but so does the nice color. ;)

Alright. Did a test w/ default settings where i ONLY changed "TAX_AMOUNT:" to 5. It still takes taxes from spawn shop (when its named "Admin Shop")
This must be a bug from the plugin and not a mistake in the config cause its all default ;)
Tried to change the shopname to "test" with same results of the admin shop taking taxes when "SERVER_TAX_AMOUNT:" is on 0...

Posted Oct 9, 2013How can I, being set an ApplicableRegionSet (WorldGuard) check if chestshop flag is allowed, for default flags is set.allows(DefaultFlag.FLAG).
Maybe: set.allows(ChestShopFlag.flag) ?
EDIT: Ok, tried it :D.

Posted Oct 8, 2013@LilDevil2000 You see, however by "anything", most people think of "any word character", not "space only". This can be an issue.
@audioskater2 Not possible. Vault doesn't support that.

Posted Oct 8, 2013Hey I really love this plugin but I need a certain feature that is extremely important to me.
The function to make some certain chest shops use currency 'a' while other chest shops use currency 'b'. So what I am saying is make it so that multiple currencies work with the shops. PLEASE

I didnt try out that part yet. So i cant tell if that would work or not. But it should work with anything as it allow us to create our own custom name for our "admin shop".
By putting a space it wont show anything on line 1 at the admin shop signs which i prefer (along with other players) to keep it simple :).

Posted Oct 8, 2013@LilDevil2000 Well, the fact that you've set the name line to " " certainly doesn't help. Does it work with different names?
@gamocraft Hm?
