If you are upgrading from a previous version of ChestShop please make sure to always read the warnings in the update note!

ChestShop is a simple, yet very powerful system for making physical shops using signs and chests that was originally created by Acrobot and is now being continued.

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!

The plugin by default submits anonymous stats about your server (player count, plugin/server version and type) to a public statistics websites (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.

Additional modules for ChestShop:

Using shops

It's easy! Just right-click the sign to buy, left-click to sell. (You can configure the buttons in the config file!)

How to create a Player Shop

  1. Place a chest on the ground
  2. Place a sign 1 block away from the chest (for example, above it)
  3. 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 of the item on the forth line. You can find out the name of the item that you're holding by running /iteminfo

Resulting shop:

A person can buy 64 diamonds for 10 dollars and sell them back for 5 dollars from Phoenix616

Creating an Admin 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! (If there is a chest then they will use the items within and not be unlimited. You can change that with the FORCE_UNLIMITED_ADMIN_SHOP config option)

Translations

The latest builds include translations for many languages. They are shipped with the plugin. If you want to help out translating messages check out the ChestShop Crowdin project!

Configurations

Besides defining which shops a player can create via permission you can also configure almost any aspect about the plugin in the automatically generated yml files. The more general settings are in the config.yml (with explaining comments), setting minimum/maximum prices is done via the priceLimits.yml and setting up admin shop discounts is done via the discounts.yml. Messages can be set in the config files in the languages folder for each client language. They use the MineDown syntax for full component support.
