ChestShop
A simple, yet very powerful system for making physical shops using signs and chests.
It's never been that easy to create shops! With features like shop protection and anti-lag protection, you won't have to worry about your server's economy anymore!
"Just works"! Don't worry about your economy plugin, ChestShop supports all of them - iConomy, BOSEconomy and more (you can install Vault to use other economy plugins).

It's easy! Just right-click the sign to buy, left-click to sell.
(You can configure the buttons in the config file!)
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 just tried it. Whenever I type /odditem it gives me an error message. Also, the plugin hasn't been updated since 1.2.5.

jakja2 May 19, 2013 at 00:12 UTC - 0 likesSo, I came up with an idea to use custom items for item IDs. Like if you're on a modded server, like FTB or Tekkit lite. Essentials has a file in it called "items.csv" You can add items into it and use /i <name> and it will give you that. It would be a great feature to add something like this into ChestShop in my opinion. Maybe even have a config option that can link it to Essentials?

i've tried this yea it does let you make the shop but will not sell you the items right if it is admin and if its yours it says shop is out of stock! sucks selling enchanted items sounds fun but its not working atm for this plugin well at least not for me!
