    How to create a ChestShop?
    Place a chest, if you haven't already.
    Place a sign 1 block near the chest (for example, above the chest)
    On the sign, write:

    mcsign.png
    (Item name can actually be item ID or alias)
    First line will be filled in automatically.
    Price is a combination of buy and sell price.
    You have to have B near buy price (people buy from you), and S near sell price (people sell to you).
    If you have both B and S, separate them with a colon :
    For Example:
    example.png

    This means that AcrobotPL wants to sell 64 diamonds for 10 gold ingots, and buy them back from you for 5 gold ingots. Also if you put "free" instead of price, it is free to buy or sell.

    Now, when you finish editing the sign the shop will be automatically created. People will not be able to break chest, sign or the block the sign is on.
    Using ChestShops:
    Just LEFT-CLICK to SELL to shop, and RIGHT-CLICK to BUY from shop.

    Destroying ChestShops:
    If you want to delete your shop, simply SNEAK and destroy the sign. It is that easy.

    Stocking Chest Shops:
    You can either open the chest and stock it up, or click on your own sign it will open chest's inventory.

    What are the IDs (aliases) for Light Blue Wool and Light Gray Wool?

    EDIT: They seem to be 35:3 and 35:8, respectively.

    These are just like our old shops from old map. You can use /iteminfo while holding the item in question in your hand and it will tell you the item name to use on shop :)

    I've noticed that some people have actual proper names at the bottom of their sign instead of odd stuff like "Ink Sack:3" for a cocoa bean or "Wood:1" for redwood. How do you do this?

    I thought cocoa bean was Brown Ink Sac? At least that's what it is on mine, still not the actual name but a tad easier to distinguish.

    Yeah it might be - I can't remember exactly.

    I've noticed other people seem to have actual names on their's though...

    The odd things is that the shop can actually be created with a proper name... but for some odd reason people will still be unable to buy/sell to the shop. I had this issue with stone bricks i was selling. The name has to be what /iteminfo says or it doesn't work.

    Only to buy perms. Market plots are to be given out by Lead Mods and above.
