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 :-) ).

Please look at the Supported Signs section. Anything with an asterisk can only be made by players with the admin permission node.

Any description on what they do? :S Please help! What do those permissions give access to?

SignShop will disable Essentials signs when it starts to prevent conflicts. Essentials' config allows for enabling only certain signs, but when you enable any signs in Essentials, it tries to hijack Signshop Signs. Bug the developers of Essentials to fix their plugin, until then SignShop will comment out all Essentials signs' in the Essentials config.

I see what you mean. Can you please open a ticket about this? Using the ticket system makes it easier to keep track of.

In a way. You can sell other peoples locked chest's items. So lets say I have a chest locked by me and another player finds it locked so he cant do anything to break it so he uses the redstone to link it to his shop then sells himself the locked chest items or another person. And breaking other peoples signs. . . Is a problem for me. I have deadbolt and I will not go back LWC :( Could you please add a sign ownership protection feature for Signs related to your plugin?

I think it is best for server owners to decide what plugin they would like to use for protection. And seeing as there are so many out there, it would be somewhat of a waste of time to recode protection when there are other plugins that can do it better.
Are you having issues with Deadbolt and SignShop working together?

I'm not sure what you mean. If you want to change a price of an item, you will have to destroy the sign anyway.
@ShrunkenQuasar
You can change how often you'd like the shops to save in the config. There is no permanent disable, however.

Posted Feb 15, 2012Very cool plugin! It would be nice if there was an easier way to make changes, like maybe a command to remove the SignShop function form a particular sign/chest. Seems like the only way to make changes currently is to destroy both the sign and chest.

Yes, besides Vault you will need to run some sort of economy plugin. This plugin, due to Vault support, however doesn't care what economy plugin you run as long as you run one.

For as far as I'm aware LWC already has such functionality. It should, when private protection is put on a sign, at least prevent it from being destroyed. Or are you talking about a different type of protection?

Posted Feb 14, 2012Is there a way to have a shop with both the features of iBuy and gBuy?
EDIT: I see the config, you can change it. Love the idea of custom signs by the way! :3

By doing what's in the chest, it makes it so you can use the middle 2 lines to say whatever you like. Having an easier to understand sign with no item numbers or amounts to see, just the currency, makes it easier. Additionally, you can sell many different items on one sign this way. So if you wanted to sell an Alchemy Starter kit, you can put a stand, some nether warts, some water bottles, etc into a chest, set the price, and link it.

Mind PMing me the server info, I have been unable to reproduce this in testing.
