How to use Sign Shop feature

ChestShop is a plugin that allows players to buy and sell items through chest-based shops. This guide covers everything you need to know about setting up and using ChestShops as a player.

Step 1: Place a Chest

• Find a suitable location and place a chest (or trapped chest if you want to link multiple shops together).

Step 2: Place a Sign

• Place a sign directly above or on the chest.

• Format the sign as follows:

  [Your Minecraft Username]
  Quantity of Item
  Price Format
  Item Name or ID

  Example: If you want to sell 16 diamonds for $100, the sign should be:

  PlayerName
  16
  B 100
  Diamond

  • B = Buy (Players buy from your shop)

  • S = Sell (Players sell to your shop)

  • B/S = Buy & Sell (Both options available)

  Example of a Buy & Sell shop:

  PlayerName
  16
  B 100:50 S
  Diamond

  • This means players can buy 16 diamonds for $100 or sell 16 diamonds for $50.

Step 3: Stock the Chest

• Place the items you’re selling inside the chest.

• If players are selling to your shop, ensure there is empty space in the chest.

Step 4: Test the Shop

• Right-click the sign to ensure it works correctly.

• If there is an issue, double-check the sign format and item availability.

Common Issues and Fixes

• "Shop is out of stock" → The chest has no items left. The owner must restock.

• "You don't have enough money" → Check your balance with /balance.

• "No space in chest" → If selling, the chest must have empty slots.

• "Invalid item" → Ensure the correct item name or ID is used.
