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.

- MySQL is supported, but I don't know if it works. Just edit bukkit.yml to suit your needs. - Statistics webpage can already be made using ChestShop.

ThoLav Apr 22, 2012 at 14:37 UTC - 0 likesHi,
it would be fine if you could support mysql database, for shops and logging.
1. It would be a bit faster on large servers.
2. Statitics and such things could be dislplayed on websites.
What du you think about?
Have a nice day,
Thomas

Hey there again. No, the database is on the localhost. I saw the source code from the method that is causing delay and found nothing. Gotta take a look deeper.
