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!

After a player made a shop and got the message saying it was made succesfully, any player who tries to buy form it gets the message the the owner doesnt have an economy account. Im using Just Essentials and vault and the economy works fine with other plugins.
Can you post your log? It should say which economy plugin ChestShop detected. (Also all the versions used might play a role with it)
Is there any possibility of adding alternate container support such as barrels and shulker boxes for more aesthetic possibilities?
Yes, just add them to the SHOP_CONTAINERS list in the config.
How do I make it so players can sell items for items? Like instead of dollars a currency could be diamonds.
You will need a Vault economy plugin that is based on items for it to work with this plugin, direct item trading is not supported by ChestShop.
Hi I can't make /iinfo or /iteminfo work. It only shows the item name and not the alphanumeric ID. Needed to sell custom enchanted items
You need to provide some more information like your server and plugin version and your log file.
hi I have a server in 1.14.4 how come if I create a store administrator, the other members of the server cannot buy but can only sell
Please make sure that you used the exact name like in your config (case matters there), that your players don't have negated permissions for buying and that there are no errors in the log/console. Also you might want to check if some other protection is blocking the sign interaction (e.g. the spawn protection or some plugin like WorldGuard)
1.15.2
I cannot create shops with items including the letter i in its name. For example a diamond or a firework rocket shop don't work. Everything is properly made, plugin successfully creates sign, but you cannot buy or sell and even open the chest and steal the items. I noticed smth it's written Dıamond not Diamond and Fırework Rocket not Firework Rocket.
Just for completion sake (it was also reported on github): This seems to be an issue when use a Turkish locale on the server and it should be fixed in the latest development build.
Not Working on Paper 1.12.2 (plugin version 3.9.2)
Well 3.9.2 is known to work with 1.12.2 but please test the latest 1.12 development build too just to be sure. If it still doesn't work then you might have some other issues with your setup and I suggest opening an issue and provide the information requested in the issue template.
Hi! I am on the 1.15.1 version, and something is wrong. My players could only sell, but not buy. Then, I switched the
Make sure that the shop isn't inside a protected region/the spawn region and that nothing else is blocking sign interactions. If you are sure that these aren't the issue then please open an issue and provide the requested information.
please help! My Players are not able to buy from admin shop but they are able to sell items. I was able to buy from them for about 2 min and then it just stopped letting me buy from them. im running my server on the latest build on 1.15.1
Please make sure that players have the correct permission and that your economy accounts and server shops are setup correctly. Also that no other plugin is blocking this. If you are sure that you have checked that then please open an issue and provide the requested information.
i'm having a problem, i run the plugin on 1.15.1 with latest update. i can do /chestshop toggle and reload, but not actually create a shop, i've tried as an op and owner, just owner, just op, and as nothing
what should i do?
Please open an issue and provide the requested information.
