ChestShop (iConomyChestShop)
Acrobot released his first Android game, would you mind giving it a go?
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"! ChestShop supports almost all economy plugins by using Vault!
(Versions above 3.9.2 also support economy plugins using the Reserve API)
Some known compatible and incompatible economy plugins.
Please check if there are newer development builds before reporting issues!
If you are upgrading from a previous version of ChestShop please make sure to always read the warnings in the file's changelog!
The plugin by default submits anonymous stats about your server (player count, plugin/server version and type) to a public statistics websites (mcstats.org and bstats.org) in order to provide the developers with usage information. If you wish to opt out, you can do so in the PluginMetrics/config.yml and bstats/config.yml files. It also features an auto-update feature, which can be turned off in the config.

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 it) | |
On the sign, write: | |
Leave the first line empty. It will be automatically filled with your name by the plugin (if you have the permission ChestShop.admin then you can create shops with the names of other players) | |
Second line is the amount of items to buy or sell | |
Third line is a combination of buy and sell prices. You need 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" |
The forth line will hold the id/name of the item. Write ? on the sign and the item will be autofilled with the one from the chest or you can click on the sign with the item afterwards. Optionally you can put the actual name on it. You can find out the name of the item you're holding by doing /iteminfo |
|
Resulting Shop | |
A person can buy 64 diamonds for 10 dollars and sell them back for 5 dollars from Phoenix616 |

Admin Shop - shop with unlimited items
Firstly, you've got to be sure that you've the ChestShop.admin permission or that you are an OP. To make an Admin Shop, simply put "Admin Shop" (configurable in config.yml) on the first line of the sign when creating the shop. Admin Shops do not require a chest!

@adamxp12 It's ChestShop.admin and ChestShop.* Case matters.
is this even compatible with bpermissions because i have the node chestshop.admin and it says i cant make any shop at all even chestshop.* dont work why?
@LynnKim
Have you setup permissions correctly?
i need help, only ops in my server can buy items. but the members cant? and members cant /money how do i fix that
i really need help cus i dont want my friends to be op
@Stoxos To let other people use the shop, you would have to use different protection plugin - like LWC, then you just turn off the default protection. Your suggestion wouldn't work, because one sign line holds max. 15 characters, which isn't much. It won't even fit 2 player names
Just wondering if its possible to have multiple players be able to access shop chests even if the 2nd player doesn't have admin privledges.
for instance the sign would read:
player1 : player2 B 30 : 20 S 64 DIAMOND
I'm thinking that the first player would get all the money from the buying and selling and the 2nd player would just have access to the shop chests to restock the chests. Or maybe its an even 50/50 split of money. Might be nice if it was configurable to do both.
@CosmicVoyager To create government's name, (if you use iConomy), just do /money create nameOfTheAccount You can also give it funds by doing /money set nameOfTheAccount amount
"How do I give it an inventory"? Just make a chestshop, but instead leaving the first line blank, place the Government's name there (the one you set with /money create name)
If the player uses the same name, it will use his account though.
@Acrobot
I don't understand. And I don't know if you understand what I am asking :-)
How do I make a bank account for a non-player? How do I give it an inventory?
How do I give the government a name? I don't know how to make such accounts for something that is not a registered Minecraft account such as my own account.
"Make a shop with Government's name on the first line."
Are you saying I just make up a name for the government, put it on the sign, and that creates a bank account for it? What if a player uses the same name?
@CosmicVoyager Well, you can either:
Can anyone figure out a way for players to be able to buy and sell to a non-player government account? For the government to have a bank account and inventory and be a able to use shop signs?
@Liger_XT5 Yep, I should probably explain that more.
The "sample" folder contains sample HTML files, which work like that: You drop the files into plugins/ChestShop/HTML folder (if it doesn't exist, create it)
header.html is NOT repeated. row.html is the row for ONE ITEM ID that was sold/bought since the last database flush. its variables:
footer.html is not repeated and it contains:
Of course, you don't have to add every variable :)
And you can edit where the website is stored in the config :)
I've noticed the website.html and HTML folder has been around for a while, though nothing is said in the forum page about it.
I haven't messed with it, but from the looks of it, I would like to link to the website.html file on my website. The config file is simple, but not sure what changes I can make to the files in the HTML folder.
@Naruchico Nope - not possible yet, due to the nature of the banks and the way they are implemented at the moment. Maybe in future.
does this hook into boseconomy banks, want to set this to deposit into the "City" bank account I have setup
@Kaosvf No, why? It even includes option for automatic shop protection!
Is there conflict with lwc?
@GrandRiver Well, you can do: Red wool Blue wool etc. Birch log/sapling Redwood log/sapling etc. And so on. For ink sac - I didn't test it, but I believe it fails.
Is there any way to correct the item names on the ChestShop signs to read the correct item name for those items with damage variants? For example, whenever we create shops with items such as Bone Meal, Cocoa Beans, Lapis Lazuli etc., the sign just defaults to "Ink Sac" I imagine the same problem exists for Saplings, Wool, Logs, Half Blocks etc.
@Acrobot
Oh sorry I haven't see that this was possible. Thank you, so forget my suggestion :)
@Endimmion Yeah, but how exactly does that differ from player-made shops? You could just create a sign with a different name, f.e. "Server" on the first line, and on the next lines as usual -> it'll work just like you said.
