# Shop Signs

#### **Setting up the Shop:**

You will need the following items:

- A sign
- A single redstone dust
- A container (chest or barrel)
- The items you want to sell

*Extra Notes*

1. The sign does not have to be on the chest to link the two
2. You can feed a hopper into the chest to automatically fill the chest

#### *Setting up a* **\[buy\]** *Shop Sign:*

*Players who click on this sign will give you money in return for taking items from you.*

1. Place down a sign 
    1. *(If placing on the container itself, shift and place so it does not turn into a permissions sign.)*
    2. *(You can place a permissions sign on any other surface of the same chest)*
2. The top/first line of the sign must say \[buy\]
3. The second and third line may have anything you wish. *(Most people put the item and amount of item on these lines)*
4. The last/fourth line must have the amount of money people will pay for this item

*This shop sign from /pw TheCoop shows a listing for players to give a stack of Dead Bushes to gain $1000 from the owner.*

*The "$" is optional.*

#### *Linking a Shop Sign to the Chest of Items:*

*This is how you will stock the shop.*

1. Place down a chest or barrel. It does not have to be physically connected to the sign.
2. Place one listing's worth of items in the chest. *(Do NOT fill the chest. If the listing is for 16 rose bushes, only put 16 rose bushes in the chest)*
3. Grab your redstone dust and smack the chest as if hitting it.  
    1. *(Bedrock players may need to hold down on the screen for a couple seconds)*
    2. *(It should say "Stored Location of Chest..." if successful)*
4. Smack the sell sign with the redstone dust. *(If successful, the \[buy\] line will turn blue.)*
5. You may now fully fill the chest with as many wares as you want.

#### *Restocking the Shop:*

*For when the chest is empty and/or the sign's \[buy\] or \[sell\] line has turned from blue to red.*

The red color means the shop does not have enough stock to make a purchase from. To restock, simply fill the chest. Then right-click the sign to change the color back to blue. You can also left click the sign, but this will withdraw a selling's worth of items from the chest.

Right clicking the sign at any time will tell you how many items are left in the chest linked to the sign

***Items must match the original listing exactly. Any named items must be named exactly the* same.**

**To reset a Shop, simply break and replace the sign.**
