Discord Server - Bstats of the plugin (Thank you for using ECS)
Story: Well, I used to play Minecraft multiplayer with my friends several years ago, and I thought how hard and limited are sign shops. Both complicated and not user-friendly for beginners as I remember I couldn't understand how to make one, or I couldn't sell things that were not from Minecraft like slimefun items. So I decided to use Minecraft's new update in order to make it easier, both for my players and for other server owners who are willing to keep their gameplay user-friendly, and that's how EzzzChestShop is made.
Now main description:
EzChestShop [ECS] is a player chest shop(and admin cs) plugin designed for being easy to use, construct, and have GUI implementation. ECS is made compatible with major plugins like WorldGuard, Vault, and any economy plugin that uses Vault API. The plugin is designed not only for selling items but the reverse of that, so players can buy items from their chest shop. EzChestShop uses the newest Minecraft technology in order to store data and for some optional features, and it supports SQLite & MySQL for bigger servers. Furthermore, there won't be any data loss even if the server crashes. The plugin doesn't support versions lower than 1.14, so don't try it out.

Shop Settings UI:

Although that's the easiest chest shop ever, There might be some people who may have difficulties, follow this tutorial to make a shop:
- Put the item you want to sell or buy in your hand
- Look at a chest and execute /ecs create (buy price) (sell price) | ex: /ecs create 1000 0
- Done. You have successfully created a chest shop.
Config File: Click here
Language files from other available languages(Deutch(German), Spanish, Persian, Chinese) is available in the config files, after the first loading.

I appreciate any tutorials or videos about the plugin and I'll definitely put them here.

- Put the jar file in the plugins folder.
- Download Vault and an economy plugin(like essentials) and put them there.
- Start the server.

For player usage:
/ecs | aliases: /cs - /ezchestshop (no permission needed)/ecs create (buy price) (sell price)
/ecs settings [copy, paste, admins, toggle-buying, toggle-selling, toggle-message, toggle-shared-income] | I guess it doesn't need explanation, it just copies, pastes, or edits the settings of the chest shop you are looking at
/ecs remove | removes the chest shop
/cp | check your incomes/outcomes from all of the chest shops that the player owns | Permission for this one: ecs.checkprofits
Additional permissions that you can give(limit):
If you want to limit your players so that they can create a limited amount of shops, you can turn on the config.yml option:permissions: create-shops: true
If set to true, this will require players to have the permission ecs.shops.limit.X
where X is the maximum amount of shops a player can create.
Permission for number of custom hologram lines.
Which X is the number of the lines:ecs.shops.hologram.messages.lines.X
Admin usage:
Permission `ecs.admin` is basically the op of the plugin so it can access everything in the admin section but we have also some individual permissions for each command:/ecsadmin
/ecsadmin remove | removing a chest shop | ecs.admin.remove
/ecsadmin reload | reloading the configuration | ecs.admin.reload
/ecsadmin create [buy price] [sell price] | creating admin shop | ecs.admin.create
and also the admin view of chest shops(basically access to everything in the container and settings of the container and some bypasses) | ecs.admin.view
Chest shops can also be removed by breaking the chest. (can be modified in the config) EZ right?
Worldguard flags:
ecs-create-shop
ecs-create-admin-shop
ecs-remove-shop
ecs-remove-admin-shop
ecs-use-shop
ecs-use-admin-shop
That was all, hope you enjoy this plugin as I do myself. This plugin is being used and tested by several networks with hundreds of survival players, so don't worry about glitches and bugs. *Doesn't mean there won't be
Todo List:
-
Better efficiency and optimization
-
More requested features

Thanks to your reports, we have fixed bunch of bugs and added few new features. This is all because people care and put a bit of their time reporting bugs on our Discord server. Thank you.
Entirely new and responsive hologram system
- Added support for having hologram texts and hologram items in the same line. This was impossible with the previous system, now it opens up doors for a trade system.
The conditional Tags used for <buy>, <sell> and <separator> are now updated to work similarly to the placeholders. This means that they should (not quite tested) work in multiplayer and also go for updates and smooth transitions rather than hide&show.
- When sell & buy are both disabled, the separator should be replaced with a Disabled message.
- Down rotation is fixed now.
- Made sure certain Hologram texts like Shop Empty Info or Custom Messages, will always be shown, regardless of showItem first.
- Fixed a NullPointerException that could've been thrown when a player logs out.
- Added events to dynamically update the shop holograms maxbuy/maxsell infos whenever the shop or player inventory changes. Wether it be dropping items, picking up items, moving items through inventories by the player or by a hopper/dropper, the holograms should stay updated.
- Fixed a bug where custom translations files would try to access the resource folder counterpart - which obviously don't exist when using custom translations.
Should fix PlayerJoinEvent error for chest outlines
Potentially fixed the issue of None admin shops (from now on, the ones that are created, the previous ones however needs to be deleted manually)
Fixed admin shop max shop limit problem
- When a admin gets demoted, all their created admin shops were counted towards the shop limit. This fix removes adminshops from being counted towards the player's shop limit.
- Implemented a normalizer to remove diacritic symbols from the database type, which prevented the plugin from being enabled.
- Added missing translations for nearby empty shops.
- Towny plot support -> now shops can only be placed in shop plots where the player has access to.
- Firework buy/sell fixes - they should now sell & stack up correctly.
- Checkprofit colour fixes
- Hex colour support for holograms and checkprofit item names!
- %stock% and %capacity% placeholders
- Shop Commands tab complete fix
- 1.20 support
- Potentially fixed the error with PlayerInteractEvent in the console
- Dropped support for 1.14 and 1.15
- Removed useless code
- New API version is now 1.16
- XP Based Economy
It is also configurable from the config.
- Improved Enchantment Display for Books
Books with only 1 level now don't display a level number anymore.
- Self Transaction Prevention | maxStackSize purchases
As per a request also added the maxStackSize as a placeholder to the hologram.
- Shop Commands Base
Bug fixes:
- Fixed the bug related to chest shop outlines (some errors in the console)
- Fixed the bug related to InventoryItemMoveEvent (errors in console)
- Fixed the bug related to ModelEngine (You won't be kicked anymore interacting with custom entity)
This update is MASSIVE lets just start:
(For footage join our discord)
1. A new empty shop notification system is now live! Shop owners now will receive notifications if their shop is empty, not only on joining but also using a new command called /ecs emptyshops (just try it out so cool looking)
2. Fully customizable new Discord notification system:
Now you can send notifications using discord webhook to a specific channel if a new transaction is made, and also if a new shop is created. This part is fully customizable and you can design the message as much as you like.
3. Fixed a few bugs and some optimizations.
You may disable this feature from config, but by default, it is ON.
Added CMI as a soft depend.
- Fixed Overlapping/Overflowing messages not showing up due to index issues if the translation ends after the overflowing items. (which happens pretty much everywhere)
- Lore of items is now kept and separeted with a empty line from the buy/sell lore, rather then being completely replaced by the buy/sell lore. jej for custom items!
- Fixed overwriting the background item when editing GUIs, which lead toweird Lore in every other GUI.
- Removed unneccessary 2 white spaces in all GUI Editor names.
- Fixed problems that would prevent you from re-adding the shop-item in case you would've deleted it with Q.
- The Material & Amount item title now properly says AIR rather then Material & Amount to make the meaning of the black stained glass item clearer.
- Fixed shop items not displaying for normal players in shops that they're not trusted in.
- Fixed when hologram shows the shop is empty only based on inventory not rather if the item exists.
- Fixed the dupe bug with the plugin AutoPickup(Or any similar plugins that have BlockBreakEvent higher than Normal)
- Fixed the problem of hologram not being changed after you enable/disable buying or selling within the range in settings GUI.
We actively try to fix bugs, please DO NOT hesitate to contact us on Discord. We can't understand if a problem exists without your reports and all of the problems above got fixed because of the few reports you have made!
Thank you.
