Chest shops

Chest shops are an easy scam-proof way of buying things in MCAtlas,

How to Create a Chest Shop​:

Place a chest for your Chest Shop Lock your chest with a [Private] sign

1. Place another sign above or on the chest

2. On the first line of the sign, type in "[buy]" (case-insensitive, without quotes).

3. On the third line of the sign, type in the format "X for $Y", where X is the quantity and Y is the price. For example, "5 for $8" means five of the item for eight gold.

4. If the sign is formatted correctly, the first line will turn purple, a white ? appears on the second line, and your username will appear on the fourth line in dark blue

5. Next, place the item you want to sell in your hand.

6. With item in hand, right-click on your newly created sign. The white ? on the second line will now read the name of your item. If your item has a custom name, such as a written book, it will display that instead. Place all items to sell in the chest.

Done! Here's an example of a chest shop:

A [buy] sign does not lock your chest. Use a [private] sign to ensure people cannot open your Chest Shop chest! (You can create one by right clicking it with a sign without crouching!)

How to Buy from a Chest Shop​

1. Find a shop to buy from (make sure you have enough gold and free space for the item!)
2. Right-click on the shop sign.
3. You will see the message "Shop selected" in chat, and a scoreboard display to the right of your screen.
4. Carefully review the item, attributes, pricing, etc. listed in the display.
5. Right-click the sign again to complete your purchase.
6. Continue to right-click the sign to make additional purchases.
