ChestShop

ChestShop is the player-owned shop system on Prosperity SMP. Players create buy and sell signs on chests to trade items with other players. All shops in the market district use this system.

Creating a shop

Place a chest where you want your shop.
Place a sign on the chest (or on a block adjacent to it).
Write the following on the sign:

Line	What to write	Example
1	Leave blank (your name fills in automatically)
2	Quantity per transaction	`64`
3	Price: `B` for buy, `S` for sell, or both	`B 100:S 50`
4	Item name	`Diamond`

Buy price (B): The amount a customer pays you to buy items from your chest.
Sell price (S): The amount you pay a customer when they sell items to your chest.

Examples

A sign reading:

(your name)
64
B 500
Diamond

This sells 64 diamonds to customers for 00 per transaction.

A sign reading:

(your name)
16
B 200:S 100
Iron Ingot

This sells 16 iron ingots for 00, or buys 16 from customers for 00.

Item names

The sign has a character limit. For long item names, use the short alias. Common aliases:

Full name	Alias
Iron Ingot	`Iron Ingot`
Gold Ingot	`Gold Ingot`
Diamond	`Diamond`
Cobblestone	`Cobblestone`
Oak Log	`Oak Log`

If the item name does not fit, check the alias list at the shop help board near spawn or ask staff.

Finding shops

Run /find <item> to search for player shops selling or buying a specific item. Results show the shop owner, price, location, and stock.

Chest locking

All chests are automatically locked by BOLT. Only the chest owner can access the contents. The shop sign allows customers to interact with the buy/sell interface without opening the chest.

Tips

Stock your chest before creating the sign — an empty shop cannot sell.
Check /market <item> to see the going rate before setting prices.
Place shops in the market district for maximum visibility.
Shops work while you are offline.
