Chest Shops
Chest Shops are a feature of Iconomy that allow players to create shops using chests and signs.
To create a shop, place a chest with whatever you want to sell inside it, and a sign above it. On the sign, write:
(Leave this line blank, your username will automatically be inserted)
(Amount of the item per transaction)
B (The price you Buy from the shop) : S (The price you Sell to the shop)
(Name of the item)
For example, a shop made by Zolyx selling diamonds for 100 kubes and buying them for 50 kubes would look like this:
Zolyx
1
B 100 : S 50
Diamond
"Buying Price" is the cost of buying from the shop, "Selling Price" is what you'll get for selling to it.
To buy from a shop, right-click on the sign. To sell to it, left-click on the sign.
Shops are automatically protected by lwc. Only the owner of a shop can access the chest.
Certain Chest Shops, known as Admin Shops, have an infinite stock of items.
Notes
It is important to use the correct name for the item you want to buy or sell. To ensure you get the right item name, use the data value for the item instead of the name. To find the data value for any item, hold it in your hand and type /iteminfo. Now use the number given on the sign as the "Name of the Item". The sign will still display the "proper" name if there is one.
For example,:
| You Type | Your Sign |
|
B 100 : S 50 256 |
Zolyx 1 B 100 : S 50 Diamond |
For some items, there is no descriptive name (e.g. logs). These shop signs will display the iteminfo number. It is good for you to place a second sign next to the shop sign with a descriptive name, or an item frame containing the item.
