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 |
If you want you can also take a look at this video tutorial.
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!

@Timberman The MySQL causes this, as it's probably on an external server. You can put higher interval in config, but you may still want to switch to local database.
Hi There!
My Server uses you Chestshop! Some Players selling single items. if players keep klicking the sings rapidly, the entire server freezes for about 1 up to 5 secs!!!
How can that be?
Using Chestshop with iconomy (mysql)
Regards, Timber
@bassbeast83 Hmm... Really weird error. You should be fine with turning off the database at the moment, but I have no clue why it would happen. It's something to do with EBeans - the database handler.
@deleted_7536780 I have no clue why it happens. Could you provide more info?
@malymatek Yeah. An old version. Could you update it?
@Acrobot

@ConnectCraft You should create a shell script then :) Just make it so it copies the file to the webserver every X minutes.
@malymatek And which CraftBukkit version? (Type /version in chat)
Hi ;)
Is there a way to log the webpage thingy in a db, or create that website on another server? cause my gameserver and my webserver are not on the same server.

@fatso113
Seems my answer got lost...
Maybe better use a paste (menu on top left to "back to bukkit", set type of content to YAML.... copy the URL and put here).
ChestShop.shop.* might not be necessary. The others look ok.
Are you using PEX 1.17 ? Are you using ModifyWorld with PermissionsEx? Then you might need extra permissions for being allowed to right click anything at all...
Or does Essentials have such a feature (protection of a certain area or whole world)? Any other protection plugins ?
Do block breaks work at all ? Can you open/close doors with right click at all ?
So far...
@asofold
wel i pasted in YML form but ya it turned out like that

I'm running the latest 3.31 version
@fatso113
Can you make a paste to your permissions file content (content type: YAML), that would ease finding out.
Some plugins need to have set a flag like usepermissions to true, not sure it could be related to that as well, then.
@Acrobot
Well i am not all that great with permissions so i dont know. I was just running off essentials so then switched to PEX and now no one can buy/sell. I added the nodes but idk if i did it correctly.
@fatso113 Are you sure that your Permissions configuration is right? Are you sure that you typed in the permission nodes in a correct case? You probably also installed the Permissions 2 bridge installed - that's why you don't have any permission set up by default.
I am running Bukkit 1.0.0 snapshot and i recently installed PermissionsEx and then no one, including me the owner, could not buy from any chest or sell. Everyone got the error 'You don't have the permissions to do that'. i incorporated the permission nodes and nothing works. The essentials buy/sell with signs does not work either, any suggestions?
@malymatek Which version of ChestShop/CraftBukkit are you running?
Hi, I have a problem with this plugin. Which is whenever I try to buy anything from the AdminShop it says that e.g. I have brought 1 Wool for 1$ but I don't have it in my invertory and it takes my money away
@Gianex Yep, it does.
@ProjectInfinity The problem is - I don't know either :/ Accodring to JavaDocs (documents for java), it shouldn't happen :/ Just ignore it at the moment, please :)
