ChestShop is getting more and more event-driven. Here is a summary of all events currently existing:

Economical events

• AccountCheckEvent - checks for the existence of an account
• CurrencyAddEvent - represents an addition of currency to entity
• CurrencyAmountEvent - checks the amount of currency available
• CurrencyCheckEvent - represents a check for the existence of specified currency amount
• CurrencyFormatEvent - represents a moment when the currency needs to be shown
• CurrencyHoldEvent - checks if the account can hold the amount of currency
• CurrencySubtractEvent - represents a subtraction of currency to entity

Transaction Events

• PreTransactionEvent - It's a pre-transaction event. It can be used to cancel transactions, for example when the player hasn't got enough EXP.
• TransactionEvent - It's a post-transaction event, so it is fired after a transaction is made. It can be used, for example, for logging transactions.

Shop Events

• PreShopCreationEvent - Called when a shop is being created. Can be used to cancel shop creation, modify the sign, etc.
• ShopCreatedEvent - Called after a shop is created. Can be used for logging/rewarding with EXP, etc.
• ShopDestroyedEvent - Called when a shop is destroyed.

Protection Events

• BuildPermissionEvent - checks if a shop can be made in its location. It's only blocking shop creation if all plugins that used it blocked the usage.
• ProtectBlockEvent - this event is called to tell protection plugins to protect the block. You should usually check if the block has been protected already before protecting it.
• ProtectionCheckEvent - checks if a block is protected and if the player from the event can access the block.

Miscellaneous Events

• AccountQueryEvent - used to query the account information from the sign name. If you want special shop owners (e.g. clans or factions) then you'll want to work with this.
• ShopInfoEvent - can be used to add shop information to the /shopinfo command or the shop container right click. It's a post-action event.
• ItemInfoEvent - can be used to add item information to the /iteminfo command, or for logging the usage of it. It's a post-action event.
• ItemStringQueryEvent - queries the string that represents an item on the sign. Can be used to provide custom item strings
