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 the chest)
- On the sign, write:

- First line will be filled by the plugin automatically.
- Price line is a combination of buy and sell prices. You've got 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"
- You can find out the name of the item you're holding by doing /iteminfo
- For example:

- A person can buy 64 diamonds for 10 dollars and sell them back for 5 dollars from AcrobotPL
Admin Shop - shop with unlimited items
Firstly, you've got to be sure that you've the ChestShop.admin permission / you are an OP.
To make an Admin Shop, simply put "Admin Shop" (configurable in config.yml) on the first line of the sign.

I have a little "bug" with your plugin. Can you please make it also trigger the chest update. Atm it doesn`t change the single strength of trap chest.
A simple way to test / explain it is. A chest , block with redstone lamp above , comparator with block above , block with redstone wire above.
if the trapped chest has more than 1 block in the redstone lamp is on
If the trapped chest has more than empty in the redstone lamp is off
I was hoping to use it to make a shop that shows you when an item is out of stock, Opening the chest and changing the contents works , but buying and selling doesn`t,
