🪙 ChestTrade

ChestTrade is a lightweight, player-driven shop plugin for Paper servers. Players can set up chest-based trade shops where they offer one item in exchange for another — no economy plugin or in-game currency required. Just pure item-for-item trading.

Operators and admins can open and break any shop, giving full control over the marketplace without needing extra setup.

✨ Features

  • 📦 Simple chest-based player shops — place a chest, run a command or write a sign, done
  • 🔄 Item-for-item trading — no economy plugin needed
  • 🔐 Shops are protected; only the owner (or OP) can break or open them
  • 🛠️ Lightweight and focused — no bloat, just trading
  • 🔑 LuckPerms support for fine-grained permission control

📋 Requirements

Paper / Spigot 1.21.1 Required
Java 21+ Required

Note: Spigot may work but is untested. Paper is recommended.

📥 Installation

  1. Download the latest .jar from the Releases page
  2. Drop it into your server's /plugins/ folder
  3. Make sure LuckPerms is installed
  4. Restart your server
  5. Assign the chesttrade.create permission to players who should be able to create shops

🛒 How to Use

Creating a Shop

  1. Place a chest where you want your shop
  2. Look at the chest and run:
    /ctshop create <cost-item> <cost-amount> <product-item> <product-amount>
    Example: offer 32 wheat in exchange for 1 diamond:
    /ctshop create diamond 1 wheat 32
  3. The chest is now a trade shop — other players can interact with it to complete the trade

Using a Shop

  • Right-click the shop chest to initiate a trade
  • If you have the requested items in your inventory, the trade completes automatically

Removing Your Shop

Shift + Axe

Look at your shop chest and run this command to remove it.
