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 :-) ).

No, this plugin relies on using a chest to determine the selling item and amount. That's what makes it simple. If you use iBuy and iSell signs, you do not need to keep the chest stocked, it just needs to exist.

Posted Mar 17, 2012Hi,
I didn't found a way to create a server-shop without chest
and without credit/debit the admin account.
Is that possible or planned?
It would be awesome.

Posted Mar 16, 2012Can you make it so you can turn off notifications of infinite shops? I set up about 500 shops for the server and constantly get messages that someone purchased an item.

Hmmmm.... indeed it does. I think this is because the plugin has to parse the config and update it for the new options that were added in 1.6.5, otherwise when server owners updated, they wouldn't have the new options in the config. I'll open up a ticket for this until we can figure out an easier solution to the problem. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Posted Mar 16, 2012I tried the solution you had for Damimad and Me earlier about the signshop messages spamming the screen. However, it seems now whenever the plugin is reloaded it resets the config to its default settings and restores the entire config including the comment lines. Do you know a way around this?
Side note: I love this plugin. Its so much better then all the command based shops. So easy for users to buy and sell stuff and browse.

Thank you for the compliment. I couldn't do it without wargamer2010. We work as a team to give the Minecraft community a great plugin, with the features you guys request. And although I keep the documentation up to date, verify tickets, and test, he does all of the programming.
When you do have the chance, post up some pictures of your SignShops, we need a good picture for this page. That goes for everybody. We want your pictures!

Posted Mar 15, 2012Problem I am having with the iSell shop. Ive linked the shop to a chest because it seems to be needed to activate the sign. However, rather then just deleting the items the shop is sending them to the chest and wen the chest fills up, it stops allowing you to sell to the store.
this is how the sign is set up
[iSell] / Cobblestone / 64 for $64 / 64
had to put a / between the sign lines due to the comment thing bunching it all together

Set it up just like a regular [Buy] shop, except no items will be removed from the chest, and the money will go to noone.
@wco
You're welcome, thanks for the bug report. They are always appreciated.

Just go into the config and erase the message for whatever sign you are using.

They cannot create a shop unless they have the expressed permission to do so.
