Finding Item IDs
There are many ways online to find Item IDs, including the Minecraft Wiki, but there are also two in-game methods as well. Option One is a coded in the game itself, and Option Two is provided by the plugin.
Option One
This method uses Minecraft's own debug tools to show Item ID when you hover your mouse over an item. To activate it, hold down F3 and push the H key. A message will show telling you it worked.
Option Two
This method uses a command from the ChestShop plugin. While holding the item you want to see the Item ID of, type /iteminfo. It will show the name of the item, and it's Item ID. The advantage to this, is the ability to get a code for customized items, like Enchanted Swords, banners, shulker boxes, FireWorks, etc. It will provide the Item ID and an extra bit to add at the end because it's a custom item. An example would be like this for a Firework: 401#23
