SignShop v5

SignShop allows you to set up physical shops by punching a chest with your items you want to sell, then punching a sign (while holding redstone dust). It's easy to set up, and even easier to customize!
This plugin requires Vault and a vault compatible economy plugin.

Extending SignShop with other Plugins
| Plugin | Description |
|---|---|
| Vault | Works with all standard economies (EssentialsEco, iConomy, BOSEconomy, Gringotts, and more) and permission plugins (LuckPerms, Permissions 3, bPermissions, PEX, GroupManager, PermissionsBukkit, zPermission (and defaults to OP permissions, if you don't want to use a permission system)). |
| For sign and chest protection, though SignShop has built in sign protection. | |
| Use the worth.yml for dynamic sign prices by putting [worth] on the bottom line of the sign (must be enabled in SignShop config) | |
| SignShopGuardian | Save your inventory when you die. |
| SignShopHotel | Allow players to rent rooms for a period of time. |
| dynmap | Show shop locations. |
| Multiverse | Supports Multiverse worlds. |
| WildcardCommands | Make SignShop run commands for all players online. |
| Towny | Use Towny banks and only let players make shops in Towny shop plots. (Thanks ryvix!) |
| WorldGuard | Respects build permissions, and you can only let players make shops in regions with the allow-shop flag. |
| ChestShop | Convert from ChestShop format to SignShop format by just punching the sign with redstone. |

Example SignShop

This is an example of how to set up a [Buy] sign with SignShop. The sign above is linked to a chest containing items. In this example, it will sell an enchanted pickaxe for 600 Waffles (Waffles are our server's currency :-) ).

Posted Jul 21, 2014Hello ! Loving this plugin !! on 6 months using it now, and it's still awesome !!
Big question :
I hate LWC .... but i have to have it to protect my [Promote] signs, cause anyone can click them, and self promote ( cheat )
Is there a perm line like : -Signshop.promote.rankname ?
Is there another way to do it without a plugin to lock it to the ranking ladder ?
i really need to get rid of LWC ................... lol .....
( using SignShop version 2.8.2 for MC 1.6.4 ... i know ... i should update to 2.8.3 lol )

It's possible, yes, but we don't recommend it. If you want, you can go into the signshop.jar and rename the signs in the default config. You will need to do this anytime you update signshop, however. It's usually just a good idea to have one shop plugin, to prevent conflicts and stuff like this.

Do you have ChestShop installed? I've never seen the behavior you are describing, and I'm wondering if it might be some other plugin doing it. If not, please make a ticket and fill out all the important information.

Posted Jul 17, 2014Why can't I make [Restricted] signs? I am op / all permissions and whenever I try to make one it just pops out as an entity, preventing me from placing the sign.

Posted Jul 16, 2014I can't find a single tutorial on how to create infinite iBuy shops, only regular ones. I made the sign, then creted the chest with the item i wanted inside it, then I hit the chest with redstone, then the sign. Then when I try to break the chest it tells me its protected and I have to use a golden axe, when I use to golden axe, the shop just stops working... What did I do wrong? I read that you can actually create infinite shops and then destroy the chests.

Oh, I thought you wanted them to be able to create the shops. Then no, no additional permissions are needed. Players can use any shop by default. You are going to have to create a ticket about the "no permission" issue. Please post a screenshot of a player using the sign with and without something in their hand.

Hi,
Does giving them that permission mean they can create any sign they want? I just want them to be able to sell and buy items from the shop, not create their own shop.
Additionally, the sign works (with no permission node) when their hand is empty. If they hold the item in their hand however it says "no permission". Took me about 2 hours of trouble shooting to figure that out haha.

isell signs are admin only signs. Your players will need signshop.admin.isell to use them.

Posted Jul 11, 2014So none of my players can use isell signs. The permissions explanations on the permissions section have to be the most ambiguous set of permissions iv ever seen lol

Posted Jul 9, 2014I'm having a problem, every time I make a sign shop selling a gun from Crackshot it sells ALL of the guns stocked in the chest for the price on sign instead of 1 gun at a time. I don't know how to set it so that it only sells one gun at a time? Kind of confused...

Posted Jul 8, 2014Could you make the plugin compatible with ServerSigns? The shop doesn't work anymore if you add a svs command to the [buy] sign ;( That would be great ;)

Yes, this is perfectly possible.
It's supported by every shop type which handles items so iBuy, Buy, iSell, Sell, etc.
Just put the book in a chest and link the chest to your shop sign. Signshop will do the rest.

Posted Jul 7, 2014Is it possible to sell a written book that a player has wrote themselves? Like Guides or just fun stories that have wrote.
