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!

We believe that the music he makes is really stunning - you can decide it for yourself!
If you have an issue then please open a ticket on GitHub or post on SpigotMC.org for faster replies to questions!
Giving access to individual players is not possible in ChestShop (only possible via permissions to all shops). If you want individual access you'll want to protect shops with LWC and manage access that way.
As for hoppers: That should work as long as it's the shop owner placing them.
Hi, i have a problem with your plugin when i try to use the comman /csaccess that say me a error message and when i look in the consol that say me the plugin it's not enable
Thank for your work
You'll have to check why the plugin failed to enable at the start of your server. The log should contain some information about why it failed.
In reply to Phoenix616:
hi i'm not good with this but i find the error message i send you
Please don't post errors/logs in the comment directly. Use a paste site like hastebin.
As for your error: That's the general one that gets sent when a plugin is disabled. As I said: You need to take a look at the start of your log why it got disabled in the first palce.
Hi, just wondering if it is possible to make an admin shop to sell admin commands?
Like say if I could sell "/set time ____" command or sell "/weather world ____" command so that players can change the time of day or the weather or even summon mobs just by clicking on the sign, for a price of course.
If that is not a possibility right now, is it a possibility in the future?
No, this plugin sells items. A command wont even fit on the sign. If you really want to do that with ChestShop then I guess you could get some plugin which adds single use commands to items and sell those.
ich kann keinen admin shop erstellen da steht : You don't have permissions to do that
bitte hilfe
In reply to Forge_User_46064573:
Hallo, du hast anscheinend keine Rechte dafür. Bist du sicher das du OP bist?
This plugin just straight up doesn't work for me. I'm on 1.15.2, I have an economy plugin, and I know for a fact I'm writing the signs correctly. What's the deal?
Hard to say with that little information, you'll have to provide more e.g. by opening an issue and filling out the template.
In reply to Phoenix616:
The only other info I have is what plugins I have. The only ones I could see effecting it would be essentials and vault. All the info I have is what you see. It just doesnt work and I dont have any console errors or anything
Do you have the permissions to use the sign? Are you testing as a normal user and not with some special non-user permissions? Because in the default config people with permission to access shops cannot trade with it. Either adjust the config or use the /csaccess command to toggle that temporarily.
If that doesn't solve your issue then please open a ticket with the information requested in the template.
Hello, I have a problem with ChestShop and that is that when creating the store, either with the name of a user or with AdminShop, it does not allow to buy, but it says that the store was created correctly, and when I go to not buy anything, the server is version 1.12.2, if you can help me I would appreciate it thanks
Make sure users have interact permission with the sign (no region/spawn protection blocking it) and that you don't have negated any of the plugin permissions. If you still have issues after checking these then please open a ticket and provide the requested information.

Also please test with the latest development build for 1.12.2 if you are using any other version.

command to get money
ChestShop is not an economy plugin. You are going to have to use a separate one and refer to it's documentation regarding the commands.
Hello i am having a problem where i'm setting up a marketplace and i can buy iron ore but not sell it back. is there some sort of blacklist i have to override or what could be preventing this from happening?
Thanks
No, by default everything should be buyable and sellable (unless you negate permissions). Make sure that you have permissions to interact with the signs and that no other plugin/Vanilla spawn protection is cancelling the interaction.
