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 7, 2013Taxes doesnt seem to work as they should. I got a 5% tax on chestshops. "TAX_AMOUNT: 5"
But when people sell to an admin shop they get charged 5% too? even tho the config is written as 0 "SERVER_TAX_AMOUNT: 0"
I renamed "Admin Shop" to " " so the first line is blank on the signs. Works as it should but people get charged 5% of the item value by selling to spawn
Great plugin btw ;)

They can do. A lot of people actually do this. They basically don't put anything in the chests or sell a item which can only be spawned in. The counter this you could just allow chest shops only in towny regions or worldguard regions.

Posted Oct 4, 2013Hello.
I have a question about this plugin. I run a factions/PvP server. Could people exploit chestshops as a way to lock their chests and not put what they are selling in it?

Would it be possible to check to make sure sign was removed. I've talked with developers of MCMMO and they stated it has something to do with the way your handling the break event. See here for conversation with them - https://github.com/mcMMO-Dev/mcMMO/issues/1506
Maybe instead of 'assuming' the sign is broken when the block it is attached too is removed, check it to make sure the sign was removed? For now I'll have to remove the refund from the shops and note it in my files as a conflict between the 2 plugins.

Posted Oct 3, 2013@Redstoner_Pro Pretty sure it's MCMMO. It probably sends an event for a block break, while the block is just replaced. ChestShop assumes that when the block the sign is on is broken, the sign is broken as well.
@benjiberg Uh, for like... 6 months now? If not more.
@Igor1998 You are hosting your server in the user directory, which contains non-ascii (Russian) characters. Try putting it in C:\Something. (It's not my fault, sorry!)
@MCJackJ Well, per-world permissions?
@BeerCav What do you mean by "messing up"? You are probably running some custom plugin.

Posted Oct 3, 2013Is there a fix to prevent the shop from messing up when a user clicks on a sign with a stick in their hand?

Posted Oct 3, 2013Is there a way to stop users from creating a shop in a certain world? Perhaps using a WorldGuard flag?
