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!

How do we sell potions? there is not enough characters on a line of a sign to be able to put the full name of them...
@SilentStray I really don't know. Probably with the new system I'll make something with it :P
@Acrobot
Good luck with school and don't let us bog you down XD.
Anyways, I was wondering how enchanted items will be dealt with.
@JayDanielsMB Totally "It'll be done when it's done", sorry :/ I've got a lot of things to do (for example, my tests @ school), so I don't have much time to spend on making ChestShop. However, I'd say that first downloadable version of ChestShop will be in a month, if not sooner. :)
Really thanks for your kind words :)
@Acrobot
Haha absolutely love it! Would you be able to point me in the right direction towards a temporary fix? Or possibly an idea of when a release date might be popping up? ("It'll be done when it's done" Is acceptable, yet heartbreaking)
Thanks a ton for the info though, and keep up the great work!
@JayDanielsMB Well, it wouldn't be really difficult. I am making ChestShop 4 (almost finished the framework, should begin real work soon) that will consist of modules and in-plugin plugins (pluginCeption) So yeah - it will be very easy to do so then :)
Hey Acrobot, How difficult would it be for someone to modify Chestshop so that the ownership is dependant on the "Residence" plugin? For example, if someone were to rent a piece of property, would it be possible for Chestshop to recognize this and update the ownership of the shop as well? Would this be as simple to implement as I'm hoping it would?
@wesley4220336 Yeah. For a long time. If the plugin finds LWC (or Lockette/Deadbolt) protected chest, it will check if it's protected and if the player is its owner first.
@Acrobot
Also, Not sure if you know this or has fixed it.
STOCKING THE SHOPS You can either open the chest and stock it up, or click on your own sign - it will open chest's inventory (that way you can have chests not openable by other people for sure :D)
If someone has a Chest LWC protection. Bad person comes along and put a chest shop above it, he is allowed bypass the LWC protection.
Is this fixed?
@Acrobot OK.. Good to know that V3.29 works. My permission nodes are unchanged from the last version V3.24
Do you know of a change that i am not seeing.??
@wesley4220336 Yes, this works with PBukkit. Maybe your permission nodes are wrong? @havena2 You need to download OddItem plugin (also found on BukkitDev), and then read its readme. You should edit item names in its config file.
Does this work with PermissionsBukkit? No one can create any chest shop with 3.29, 3.28 using Bukkit #1550 or #1557
It seems only OP's and Admins can create shops. Am i missing something???
what i need to edit to use a name on sign for 318:1050 or 1051 etc
atm i see FLINT:1050 and odditem do nothing.
thx
Hi there! Having some problems with the latest update. Since it my users are not able anymore to place two signs above one double chest. the second one pops out with no chest access... :-(
I've seen you changed exactly this part in the code, but this plugin has so many dependencies (payment) to compile it, that I hope you can fix this with a little update.
Thanks a lot!
I solved...it seems because I had the name formed by two words with a space between them.
Ok, I have installed ChestShop, but I also have towny. I have set it so players can only make chest shops in towny shop plots - this ofc is in the config files which I was very happy to see, but players who make a shop plot within towny try to make a chestshop and they recieve the message 'You cant create a shop here'. I have tested this with a tester character i use so have the same permissions has the standard member, and I recieve the same message too. Would love feedback on this. Just for the record, the permissions have been set so standard members can make chestshops etc.
@eapiova Well, either:
Yes I translated into italian the local.yml...However I solved downloading the new 3.29 version. Well now I have another problem: everything is fine except for the fact that only my money restores to the beginning cap after I buy some stuff. For example I have 1000 dollars. I spend 20 dollars for something. Now I have 980 dollars. But after one minute I have 1000 again (Why?). This only happens to me that I am the server admin
@link2110
@eapiova
I had this error just 5 minutes ago, after i translated the local.yml file into german. Now i did reset this (deleted old local.yml file and created new file by plugin) and it works. I think this error is just as link2110 said an unallowed character. e.g. ? or ä,ö,ü and so on. (But i didn't use anyone of them?!)
This error will be fixed if you reset the local.yml
Greetings from Germany and sorry for my bad english *g*
@eapiova
It appears you have an unallowed character in one of your files. re-read your config files.
