ChestShop (Fabric)
by Isaiah
ChestShop lets a chest and sign on a server act as a player-run store, where buy and sell prices are written on the sign and players trade items with the chest owner.
What it does
Shops are built from a chest and a sign. The sign lines hold the item name, the buy price and the sell price, and a player who clicks the sign can buy from or sell to the shop. The mod adds chest powered shops in which the stock sits inside the chest itself, so no separate storage block is needed.
Economy Fabric supplies the currency that the shops use, and Fabric API is needed for the mod to load. Hopper-fed chests are handled so that items can still leave a shop by hopper. Admin shops that never run out of stock are offered alongside player shops, so server owners can add fixed sources of goods. The license is GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code is open source.
The mod is installed on the server only, so players join without any mod of their own. Files target 1.18.2 – 1.19.4, and the latest file is 1.3.2 for 1.19.4, published 2023-08-06.
Key features
Chest powered shops
A chest and sign together form a shop, with the stock held directly in the chest.
Buy and sell prices on the sign
The price line lists a buy price after B and a sell price after S, written on separate lines of the sign.
Admin and player shops
Shops can be run by a player or set up as admin shops, though only player shops are handled in the current build.
Protected locked chests
Explosions from TNT no longer destroy locked chests and signs.
