Best Posts in Thread: Tutorial: Chest Shops

Last night I was doing modreqs, and saw one asking how to make a chest shop. The way I would do this back when I was a moderator, is send them the link of a wonderful chest shop tutorial that I believe.... Sneekers created. (May be wrong. I kind of forgot)

I then wondered, do we have a tutorial on this? I looked through the forums, and found none. So here is one.

I am not very experienced with chest shops, so if I got anything wrong, please correct me in the replies, and I'll edit this.


Chest Shops

There are a couple things required of you before you can have chest shop. I'll list them below.

-You must be in a town
-You must have a plot in said town
-That plot must be set as a shop by an assistant or mayor. Command: /plot set shop

Now comes the tricky part. After you get a plot, place a chest against a wall, and place a sign directly above it.

It should look like this.



After you have done this, you will need to fill out the sign in this order:



So in the end, your sign above your chest should look like this.



What this means is that I, LR_Davius am selling one stone, for 10 meebles. If you created the shop correctly, you should receive this message:


Now this is going to get really tricky. You can also have a sell option on a chest shop where a player can sell things to you! You would need to format it like this.



What this means is that I am selling stone for 10 meebles a piece. However, if someone would like to sell stone to me, they can, and I will automatically purchase it for 5 meebles a piece through the chest shop.


Now that we've seen how to create a chest shop, let's look at how to buy/sell from it.

This is me, on my brothers account, at the same shop.

I went up to the shop, and right clicked to purchase one stone from... Myself...



Notice the auto message "You bought 1 Stone from LR_Davius." The stone went directly into my inventory.

Since I set up the shop to sell as well, I left clicked on the shop, and sold back what I had purchased, losing 5 meebles because of the price.



Notice again, "You sold 1 stone to LR_Davius for 5 meebles."

The stone went out of my inventory and into the chest.

Things to remember about chest shops:
-You stock the shop by putting items into the chest
-Meebles are added to your account even when you are offline
-Meebles are deducted from your account even when you are offline
-Items that people sell to you will be added into the chest
-If your shop is out of stock you won't be able to sell anything

I believe I have adressed all the important things to know about chest shops. Again if I missed something, please include it in the replies so I can edit my post accordingly.
