About ShopChest
From SpigotMCA Bukkit plugin letting players create custom chest shops.
This plugin depends on Vault and an economy plugin that supports Vault (e.g. my plugin JustMoney).
Plugin will not be updated for 1.18.
Last version working up to 1.17 can be found here.
ShopChest is a very simple to use chest shop plugin. Managing shops is done via command, while using them is done by clicking the chest. A hologram above the chest displays all sorts of information about the shop. What exactly it should show can be customized in the hologram format configuration file, just like a huge number of options can be customized in the normal configuration file. Other features include:
- Very easy shop interaction and creation
- Visually pleasing with hologram and floating item
- Admin shops with infinite supply
- No struggle with complex attributes or flags, it just copies the item in your hand
- Included hopper and explosion protection
- Floating items are protected from water, lava, pistons, zombies, getting picked up, despawning and ClearLag (and similar)
- Fully translatable, supporting Minecraft language files
- Support for MySQL and SQLite
- Supports most protection plugins, even hooks into e.g. WorldGuard, PlotSquared or Towny for advanced integration
- Vault integration for economy
- Extensive list of configurable options
Usage
By default, a player can buy from a shop by right-clicking the chest, and sell to a shop by left-clicking it. This can be reversed in the config. To buy or sell a stack at once, the player can sneak.
A player can retrieve information about a shop either by using the command /shop info or by clicking the chest with the configured shop-info-item that defaults to a stick.
Commands
The main command name can be customized in the config but will be referred to here as /shop.
The argument <buy-price> refers to the price for which players can buy the item from the shop while <sell-price> is the price for which players can sell their items to the shop.
/shop create <amount> <buy-price> <sell-price> – Create a shop
/shop create <amount> <buy-price> <sell-price> admin – Create an admin shop
/shop remove – Remove a shop
/shop info – Retrieve information about a shop
/shop open – Open a shop
/shop removeall <player> – Remove all of a player's shops
/shop reload – Reload the shops and config
