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 :-) ).

You can effectively do this by putting a cooldown on a certain sign type, that way they can only use the sign every so often. From our Quick Reference:

Posted Nov 2, 2015Is there a way you can limit the amount of times a person can use a Ibuy or Isell sign? or even regular buy and sell? reason i ask this, I have a server shop and how the shop works is people can buy or sell to it and the shop can go out of stock or be in over stock, I want to make it so everyone can have a chance of selling or buying a item rather then just one person who plays a lot buys out the whole stock or fills it all up on their own. if there is a way to do this that would be awesome!

You just need to allow players to "use" things like levers, otherwise worldguard will block the right click from ever getting to the sign.

If you can't use a recent version of Vault, you will need to use an older version of SignShop.

This is most likely a build/use permission issue. You have put your shop in a protected area, that other people are not able to interact with stuff.

If it's a framerate problem, it probably has to do with too many entities in one area (i.e. signs). It would happen if you had SignShop installed or not. It's just that SignShop tends to promote having lots of signs in one place.

Posted Oct 18, 2015I love this plugin, but it lags me out a lot. That probably only happens because I have about 200 shops, or because I have a bad computer, but it does reduce my fps from average 30 to average 5.

That would be up to your economy plugin. You can use a [Bank] sign and put all the money to and from other SignShop signs into whatever the name of that bank account is. This would not happen automatically though, you'd need to link your bank sign to each sign you want to go to the treasury account. You might be able to manually add a "player" to your economy database and use their personal account as the treasury. But since the player doesn't exist, no one will actually get the money. OR you could also just buy another Minecraft account to make sure no one else could log in with your treasury's username and steal all the money or something.
Another option would be Towny town banks. SignShop can automatically hook into those if you replace takeOwnerMoney and giveOwnerMoney with takeTownMoney and giveTownMoney

Posted Oct 10, 2015Is there a way to set up a neutral bank account? Like an admin account or something. Basically, we are trying to set up a treasury department and want to have an account that I can put money in and out of that is not a player's personal account. Anyone know if this is possible? Thanks!

Yeah, you can sell damaged items, but in order for that sign to keep working, you would need to stock it with damaged swords of the same amount of damage.

Posted Oct 9, 2015Can I set a sign to sell my damaged sword? The sign only can consider the ID of item(no name or enchantments or lore)

You would get 0 waffles from my server if you played on your server for an hour. I'm not sure what you are asking... If you are asking how to get currency, check our FAQ for the answers to commonly asked questions.
@Strovo
I'm not sure where that stuff came from, but you should try deleting your config and regenerating it. If that doesn't work, you could copy paste the config.yml from the SignShop.jar.
