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!

3.58 Recomented Build
@patey5 Be sure you are running 3.31
If you aren't, update. If you are, please post a ticket with a screenshot of the chest and the sign :) @JoneKone Hm... And LWC version? I tested it with LWC v3.54
@Acrobot
must be the item ids, the out of stock i confirmed, full chest and it says out of stock
@Acrobot
3.31 and 3.30
@patey5 You can't buy/sell here = The sign is wrong. And for out of stock errors - are your users sure about that?
@JoneKone Which ChestShop version?
shops on my server are claiming out of stock when the chests are full, and at random telling users "you can't buy here" (or sell)
no errors, and don't think its my config but here it is:
http://pastebin.com/H0M3ELnQ
Few problems
I had the directory writen with non capital letters (SOLVED!) my bad =)
For some reason it won't do this... I gave the www directory 755 perms.
2011/12/21 05:39:38 Couldn't generate statistics page!
2011/12/21 05:40:38 Couldn't generate statistics page!
Config file here.

The second is that some ppl can't put signs on their chests when it is lwc protected to them + they are in worldguard area members.
@MonsterTKE
@IdealIdeas
Yeah, but you can simply make:
Admin Shop
1
S 100
Diamond
@Rowtag87
Sorry, not yet possible :/
@IdealIdeas
Idealldeas
1
B 0:100 S
Diamond
If you are talking about restricting the entire plugin to just buying, remove the Buying accociated perm nodes.
Is it possible to make it so either player or admin shops ONLY buy things and not sell???
I really need to know as it would be incredibly useful for my server.
How can i set a worldguard area to allow chestshops? :)
@Endimmion Nope, it's built-in.
is Register needed?
@HugoNoob It means that the economy account of someone you sell to doesn't exist.
@zeroinfinity2 LWC is fixed in 3.30 (which should be approved soon)
@Xordaii No problem :)
@ConnectCraft Well, ChestShop can save to MySQL, just change the settings in bukkit.yml. Or you can just configure ChestShop to put the files in one folder, and then just make a script which will upload the file to your homepage.
@AcrobotBoth of those were the problem. Did not realize it had to be capital, and I made the admin account a normal player account. I can now buy and sell normal from the admin shops, and the money is taken away and given normally. Haven't tried with a normal one, but since the one works, the other should. Thank you!
Same problem as everyone else when using LWC with ChestShop. Is it fixed in the beta?
What if my Homepage is on another server, as the normal gameserver? (hosted on Nitrado) how can i integrate Chestshop to my Homepage? ._.
Maybe MYSQL support?
Greetz
@Xordaii Yeah - that's the problem. Rysha isn't a normal account, it is a bank. AFAIK, in BOSEconomy, banks are treated different to normal accounts, sorry.
For the 2nd bug - I have no clue. This would be BOSEconomy plugin's fault.
Also - make sure that the b and s are in CAPITAL letters, otherwise it won't work.
Thank you for the report, though :)
