    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    All Main Servers
    Short title for your suggestion:
    Stock Indicator on ChestShops
    What are you suggesting:
    I've made an enhancement request, and am currently working on an addition to the ChestShop-3 plugin to have a stock counter.

    Read in-depth suggestion here
    https://github.com/ChestShop-authors/ChestShop-3/issues/365

    I believe it would be extremely helpful to have an indicator of whether or not the chest shop is either empty, or full. This could look like:
    Q 2304 : C 1330
    Q for Quantity, C for Count/Current.

    Demo of what I've done so far


    Assuming the main developer approves of my work once I'm complete, (or if another developer picks up on this and does the work), my suggestion is to add this to ECC!
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    Well, for me, for ShopDB of course. A stock indicator, the most requested feature for me by far, would become a reality.

    For other reasons outside of just ShopDB -
    As a chest shop owner, I find it difficult to identify which chests I need to restock (or empty out if I'm selling.)
    I often have to walk around my shop and open each chest to know if I am out of stock of a particular item.

    As a shopper, sometimes it is frustrating to find which signs are valid, and which are out of stock.
    For instance, often times players are buying or selling in bulk and have dozens of signs for the same item.
    A lot of the time, us shoppers have to click on various signs until we find one that is available to use.
    Other information:
    I've already talked a little bit to Andrew about this, but want to go through the traditional route for suggestions to get feedback from the community and as an FYI. If you're opposed to this, please speak up and let us know!
    Plugin or custom addition:
    Modification I'm making to the existing ChestShop-3 plugin. This modification would be added to the official plugin after review from the developers, so would require an update of the official plugin and a one-line (new) configuration addition.

    This is contingent on me or another developer creating this functionality and getting it tested and reviewed, as the plugin does not support this as it is right now.
    One suggestion per form:
    I Understand.​

    Since this would have so many benefits and is obviously already backed by a developer, O see no reason why this wouldn’t be a great addition to the server for the reasons stated in the post.
    I also think this could form an easy way of determining how many payments are left on a debt payment, similarly to a currently well supported suggestion.

    +1 Would make it easier to go shopping

    What about for shops like omg where they mostly buy? Having something to show how much empty space is in the chests. When selling to ness i find i spend a little too long looking for empty chests

    +1 This would be very neat. Also, it would be cool to see the Quantity and Count if you’re selling a certain item to a player to see how much space is left.

    +1 Please add! I can't tell you how many times people have complained because they've used ShopDB to get to a shop or chest, just to find out it's out of stock. I myself have ran into this problem multiple times. Please implement if possible! :)

    +1 if approved for use, please add this to ECC! It will be so helpful to know what is and isn't in stock for both shop owners and shoppers

    I would love to add this, however I, as mentioned in private, would prefer to work off the public branch.
    Should the pull request be denied, we will work towards another solution. At this time, let's wait and see where the request goes. Marking denied as no definite decision on a private fork can be made at this time.
