    Version 0.8.1​
    As supposed in this thread, I created a plugin that lets you put items into glass blocks (now steps, it's notchs fault) to showcase them. This is useable for shops, to show what's for sale there, or to make clear what type of farm you built.
    Features
    • Showcase all items in a half-step Block
    • Block protection (you can't break the step block and the block below it to prevent that the item falls down)
    • Multiworld
    • Items in a showcase can't be picked up
    • Only the player who created a showcase can remove it
    • Prevents despawning of items (Normally, drops disappear after 5 minutes)
    • You can setup finite and infinite shops
    • DropChest support (disables DropChest for absorbing the showcased items)
    • WorldGuard support (works out of the box)
    • Localisation
    • Can show custom item names through BukkitContrib
    • Economy support:
      • iConomy 4 & 5
      • BOSEconomy
      • Essentials Economy
    Download & Source-Code
    Download Showcase.jar
    Browse Source-Code on Github
    You will need an economy system if you want shops.
    This will install NarrowtuxLib automatically!
    Please donate, if you really like this ;)

    When you have got issues, please read this:
    Issue Report (open)

    1. Please, first check if you have got the most recent version of Showcase and the most recent recommended build of Bukkit.
    2. Then, check if the bug is already listed in the "Known Bugs" section.
    3. After doing step 1+2, report the bug with at least this information:
      • Version of Showcase
      • Version of Bukkit
      • If possible, a step-by-step explanation of the bug
      • If possible, console errors
      • When you think that this has got to do with another plugin, please list all your plugins like this:
        • PluginA, PluginB, PluginC ...
    This will be incredible helpful for me to fix it faster.


    You don't actually have to retype everything I typed here, but if you'd take it as a guideline which content you should include in your issue report, it's more helpful ;)

    Please, don't come here just to say "This doesn't work.". This says nothing.


    Usage
    Adding a showcase
    1. Start sneaking!
    2. Right-click a half-step block with the item in your hand you want to showcase
    3. An assistant will ask you which type of Showcase you want to add. Type the text before the colon :))
    4. Depending on the type you chose, the assistant will ask some extra questions, follow the assistant to finish showcase creation.
    Removing a showcase

    1. Sneak
    2. Right-click on a showcase. If this was a finite showcase or an exchange showcase, you will get your items back.
    Permissions


    ActionPermission-NodeWithout Permissions
    Create a basic Showcase.showcase.basicPlayer
    Create a infinite shop Showcase.showcase.infiniteOperator
    Create a finite shop Showcase.showcase.finitePlayer
    Create an exchange Showcase.showcase.exchangePlayer
    Buy from a finite shop showcase.showcase.buy.finitePlayer
    Buy from an infinite shop showcase.showcase.buy.infinitePlayer
    Removing a showcase of other players.showcase.adminOperator

    The column "Without Permissions" explains which user-type can use this permission when no Permissions system is installed.
    What are shop showcases?
    A shop showcase can be used to sell items to your players. There are 2 types of shops now:
    1. Infinite shop. This one has an infinite amount of items. The money that the players give to buy an item will go to nirvana
    2. Finite shop. This one has that number of items which the owner has set up. The owner will get the money from which the items were bought.
    How can a Player buy items from a shop showcase?

    1. Click on the Showcase. The price per item and the available amount will be displayed.
    2. Type in the number of items you want and hit enter. A message will show you the success of the checkout.
      • Type 0 to abort checkout
    How can you refill a finite shop showcase?

    1. Click on it
    2. Type in the amount of items to refill. Negative values will remove that amount from the showcase.
    3. Walk away or type 0.
    Commands

    The showcase command handles manual saving and loading
    /showcase save
    Saves the items to showcases.csv
    /showcase load
    Loads the configuration, translation and items without saving (Use with caution)
    /showcase reload
    Saves and loads everything after that. Useful when some items aren't in place and you want to quick-fix that.

    Configuration
    The configuration file is auto-generated and is called showcase.cfg
    Here are the configuration possibilities:
    • basicmode : this decides if the plugin should operate like in version 0.2 or before (Just the basics)
    • priceforbasic : this adds a price to the basic showcases
    • priceforfinite : this adds a price to the finite showcases
    • priceforexchange: this adds a price to the exchange showcases
    • removewhenempty: when set to true, a finite showcase will be removed when it's amount hits 0
    • showcaseprotection : turn this to false to be able to remove showcases from other players (griefers) (you should now use WorldGuard instead of this one ;) )
    • locale: standard is en-US. The german translation which is included in the jar-file is de-DE. If you type that in, it will copy the german file from the jar to your plugins folder
      • You can change the translation very easily by editing the existing locale.
      • Colors are supported, just add something like [GREEN] or [DARK_RED] to the text.
      • You can add newlines with \n
    • autosaveinterval: the time between two auto-saves in seconds. Standard is 60 secs. Use -1 to disable autosave.
    Translations

    Currently available translations:
    Changelog

    Version 0.8.1
    See the whole changelog

    Todo
    • Spawn multiple items in the same glass block (up to 4, would be aligned nicely)
    • Verify that there is no free space below the glass block before adding a showcase
    • Maybe let the showcase glow when you placed torches, glowstone or lava in it
    • Custom messages (aka localisation)
    • Sell-Showcases
    • DropChest support (so the items inside the glass won't be absorbed by a Dropchest)
    • Limit the amount of Showcases per player
    • Add a price that the creator of a showcase has to pay (there would be an independent price for each basic, infinite and finite showcases)
    • Linking infinite shops to banks (money spent for items goes there)
    • Rent a showcase for money/day
    • Autosave with configureable interval
    • Commands for save, load and reload
    Crossed items are already done!

    Known bugs
    • This plugin conflicts with some chat-altering plugins (i.e. bColoredChat) this is because the authors don't know how to correctly set up the priority of events.
    • Normal players (the ones that aren't operators) can't use showcases that are in the spawn-protection area. Either disable the spawn protection or place the showcases to an other location (Disable spawnprotection by setting "spawn-protection-size=0" in the server.properties file)
    • With the latest dev preview (not the recommended build), you're able to make slabs to double steps. I've got to investigate until they propose it as RB.
    • ATM, Showcases won't save enchantments. So please just don't try to sell yours because that wouldn't work either.

    You don't type "(basic)", just type "basic"

    Also, would it be possible for you to make it where when the person buys, it takes items out of their inventory? I don't use any economy plugins that have money.
    What I need is when they use a shop, it takes X amount of an item, in this case, 10 gold bars.
    I would really appreciate it if you could do this somehow.

    Quote this post if you reply, please.

    Well, it isn't hard to add int cariables to enable only whole numbers. He can also add a certain gap between two bids, I mean that you will need to offer at lease the highest offer + some more money, this way the auctions will be fair and people will not do it just to make each other poor.

    Getting a pretty major JRE fatal crashes, resulting from a plugin doing something crazy with Chunk.getBlock - I figure it's either NoMore or Showcase, since it's only started doing it since I put the the two of them in.

    Here's the error readout:

    Hey, I ADORE this plugin, awsome work man! Thing is this for me: The items in the showcase goes invisible after a while, i assume they dont respawn correctly? I dont know, but 1. if i go close to the display I "loot" the item, it doesnt actually end up in my inventory but it disapears from the case, and even if I dont go close, they will all go invisible after a while. This is ONLY with Finite mode, basic and Infinite works fine.

    Also, a suggestion, would be nice to be able to buy stacks of 64. When i want to buy for example wood, instead of clicking 320 times, it would be nice to be able to buy stacks of 64.

    Also: When leftclicking you get Price of item and quantity in stock. Could we also get name?
    Wood 15$ 44 in stock etc? New players may find it difficult seeing what everything is, and that would mean puitting up signs for each case.

    Thanks for an awsome mod!

    Here infinite doesn't work fine > unfortunately it behaves like the others (basic/finite) and disappears

    narrowtux

    Buying items will be refined, so the Shop asks you "How many items of wood do you want to buy? (10 in stock, 5 $ per item)"
    And you simply enter the amount, so it will be possible to buy a whole stack at once.
    Also, it will display the correct currency that you set up there (if you don't like dollars).
    I will get into the dupe bug today, think I'll have to re-implement some methods so they are more reliable.

    Not sure if this is caused by Showcase or NoMore, because it just gives you the name of the most recent method called, no stack-trace. Do you think you can find a stack-trace (Unhandled XXException in ...) from server.log?

    Good question !
    If we need only showcase and not shop (i dislike economy plugins) how we can disable other features ?
    Can you add old version with only showcase to download ? :)

    narrowtux

    You can only give you the permission showcase.basic and the plugin will automatically see this and creates a normal showcase when you sneak-right-click on a glass block.

    Can't find anything like that, unfortunately. The server window just closes, it dumps the java error log and server.log stops at the point of the crash.

    When buying multiple unstackable items they stack. Not sure if its fixable or not.

    Also I can buy items even if I don't have the inventory space. Need a check for that.
