configurable
- Fully configurable colors and message text in config.yml file

- also in itemsdb.yml: kits!

- and more!
shop flexibility
- shopcheck will run a name comparison check, and return all matching items
- Item sub-type support for dye colors, cloth colors, etc: magentacloth = 35:2 = cloth:magenta
- "all" is a valid amount when buying or selling: "/sell cobblestone all" or "/sell all cobblestone"

- buystack can be given multiple items, or number of stacks: "/buystack wool 5" or "/buystack wool blackdye reddye"
- shopsellall can be given multiple items (/sell all cobble gravel flint dirt)
- plural-insensitive items: if not found, will check if plural & remove "s"
- not just items can be bought anymore: can now buy LivingEntities, like dogs (wolf)
- signs can be used for buying & selling
- first line: [BetterShop] (not case-sensitive)
- second line: action: buy [amt], buyall, buystack, sell [amt], sellall, sellstack
- third line: item (name, id, etc)
- fourth line: can define a custom price (if amount = "all", per-unit, else for total cost)
- to activate, someone with BetterShop.admin.makesign must click the sign.. the first line will change color when active
- left-click for price check, right-click to buy/sell
- if a unauthorized player destroys a block a sign is on, is canceled
- item categories
- can search for items by category (in shoplist)
- players using Spout (if installed & enabled) can use a GUI Menu for buying & selling
- default button is 'b'
- displays items in shop in top half

- amount to buy/sell can be set in text box or with up/down buttons
administration
- Every item and subtype can be priced differently
- Disable buying or selling of an item by giving it a price of -1 (0 makes it free)
- command aliases to stop carpal tunnel
- many commands have sub-aliases.. eg. shoplist kits will run shoplistkits
- MySQL pricelist support
- MySQL pricelist can be cached for a given timespan (decreases table selects) (flatfile is cached until manually updated)
- Transaction records (MySQL or flatfile as .csv)
- Downloads mysql-bin.jar dependency automatically
- buy/sell cap in program set to 999,999,999 (not that you'd be using that much, but the cap is to prevent other errors)
- can backup the current pricelist: /shop backup
- can restore from backup: /shop restore <file>
- can import new prices in a batch from a csv (or old yml format) : /shop import <file>
- on start, can check the download page to see if there is an update available
- shop can be given a finite stock from which to buy & sell
- /shop ver[sion] to check the current version & see if there's an update
- /shop update to manually download & install the most recent version
- checks for missing & unused configuration nodes
- strings have default values if missing
- help main page integration can be disabled
- global shop can be disabled & only allow signs to be used
- can use permissions to define discounts for certain users
- uses nodes in "BetterShop.discount.xxxx"
- nodes defined in config under discountGroups
- ex: discountGroups:
- VIP: 10 # gives 10% discount to players with BetterShop.discount.VIP
- support for bukkit permissions
- built-in support for "BetterShop.(user|admin).*" nodes, so you don't have to add all of the other nodes
- plugin tracking - please keep enabled so i can see how many actually use this and if it's even worth maintaining

I don't know if I'm just being a massive noob... but when I buy an item (e.g. Stone) I get the message 'Buying 1 Stone at 1.00 each... 1.00 total', but then I don't get the item.
I also tried to define a shop chest to see if the items would appear in there but I just got 'Problem Executing Command!'
Any help?
Anyone else having a problem with Nether Quartz not being Buy-able?
I can sell to the shop, but when I try to buy I get the message:
You tried to buy 1 too many... you can only hold 0 Nether Quartz more
Empty Inventory, enough currency. I tried with NO Nether Quartz in my inventory, and with one piece.
ItemID:406
This plugin usually only updates with a recommended build for bukkit. It may update with the release of a beta build, it is unlikely to update to the current dev builds.
Update please
Are you planning on updating for 1.5 - The plugin breaks with 1.5
I still wondering how i can add potions.
How do i add different potions?
Like 373,8258 (Swiftness Potion)
I only get "SHOP: What is" and the id i added
SUPPORT FE!
My players get "you tried to buy 12 too many...you can only hold 0 glowstone more" anyone wanna help me with this?
@danielfr789
/buy is already a command. If not the case with you can use alias via essentials.
Is there a way to change ./shopbuy <command> to /buy
If there isnt you should add it.
Help Please, Sorry but what do i do when i buy an item however it wont go into my inventory... infact i dont know where it goes i type in /shop buy 1(Stone) 64 it charges me but i dont get the item
@36022
Use your permissions plugin to do that.
Please make global world options so I can disable it in some of my world and enable it in others.
Is it plausible to have the region feature extended restricting the shop to only near a player's bed?
Why was I denied access to this page awhile ago? Also, thanks for the update!
@WannabeDev
What is your current setup? Bettershop requires a compatible economy plugin and Vault.
Hey! I'm new to BetterShop and I was wondering why it says "BetterShop is missing a dependcey" if you know why that would be great!
Fantastic plugin :) Thanks for all the recent updates.
quick question
Iv setup a creative world using multiverse to go alongside my survival world. How do I disable access to the shop while in the creative world? Im using GroupManager for permissions..
So, is there any workaround, for the glitch in GUI that shows the text on the buttons "Enter yout text here"?
What is the name for the Notch Apple? (Enchanted)
