ChestShop

ChestShop is an awesome plugin for managing your server's economy. By using chests and signs, you can effectively create your own market! Simple, yet very powerful with lots of addons! Originally created by Acrobot.

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!

ChestShop is the original physical shops Bukkit plugin originally created in 2011!

"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.

If you are upgrading from a previous version of ChestShop please make sure to always read the warnings in the update note!
Please use the latest development builds for new Minecraft versions!
And make sure to test on them 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 ( 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.

Using shops

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
