Shopkeepers
Set up custom villager shopkeepers that sell exactly what you want them to sell and for what price. You can set up admin shops, which have infinite supply, and you can also set up player shops, which pull supply from a chest.
It will also prevent any other trades with non-shopkeeper villagers, if you want it to.
For those who are simply looking for a convenient way to modify the trades of vanilla villagers (as an alternative to using complex Minecraft commands), the plugin also includes a graphical editor for regular villagers and wandering traders.
Basic Features
- Easily create villager shopkeepers that trade the items you want them to trade.
- Admins shops with infinite supplies.
- Player shops which pull supplies from a chest.
- Different types of player shops: selling, buying, trading, and selling books.
- Various supported mob types to represent your shopkeeper, sign shops, and Citizens (NPC) shops.
- Editor for regular villagers and wandering traders.
- Many configuration options.
- Translatable messages.
- Open source (Source code on GitHub)
Supported server versions
Shopkeepers supports the latest versions of Bukkit / Spigot.
Note that this plugin is created to work with CraftBukkit (or alternatively Spigot). Bukkit does not have an API for some of the things necessary to make this plugin work. This means that other server software (Tekkit, Forge, Cauldron, etc.) will not work with this plugin.
Other CraftBukkit or Spigot derivatives/forks might work, but are not officially supported. So if you run into issues while using those, try to reproduce your issue on a fresh and up-to-date Spigot server first.

Statistics
This plugin uses bStats to collect anonymous plugin usage statistics. This helps me to determine how many servers are using the plugin, which Minecraft versions it is used with the most, and to which degree the different features are used.
Here is a list of all currently tracked information:
- Common information: The number of servers using the plugin, the number of players on these servers, online mode, Minecraft version, plugin version, core count, system arch, operating system, server country, Java version.
- Shopkeepers specific information: Whether specific related plugins are used (Citizens, Towny, WorldGuard, Gringotts, other Vault economy plugins), number of shops, whether player shops are used, whether certain features are enabled in the config (ex. WorldGuard/Towny compatibility, Citizens shops, delayed saves, colored names, chest protection, removal of inactive shops, tax rate, strict item comparison, purchase logging, disabling of other villagers, ..), the number of worlds containing shops.
- All information can be publicly viewed here: https://bstats.org/plugin/bukkit/Shopkeepers/
If you want to disable bStats for all plugins on your server, edit the file plugins/bStats/config.yml, or alternatively disable it only for Shopkeepers by setting 'enable-metrics' to 'false' inside the Shopkeepers config.

Want to help?
The less I have to do myself, the more time I have to write plugins. Therefore I am looking for someone who would be willing to get involved in the project. That could for example mean:
- Keeping the documentation (the wiki) up-to-date with plugin updates.
- Improving the existing documentation.
- Creating and maintaining translations.
- Help managing issues and answering questions of users.
If you are a programmer with experience in writing bukkit plugins, or have ideas on how you can contribute to the project beyond that, let me know as well! If you are interested, feel free to contact me via PM.
Beyond that, everybody is invited to help others with issues and questions in the issue tracker, comment section, and the discord channel! Also consider contributing translations!
Third-Party Add-On Plugins
Sometimes a feature is either to specific to include it directly into the Shopkeepers plugin, or I did not yet have the time to add something similar myself. The plugins listed here extend the functionality of the Shopkeepers plugin.
These plugins are maintained by other community members. If you run into issues while using any of these add-ons, try to first reproduce your problem without any add-ons before you report it.
ShopkeepersNavAddon(abandoned): Adds inventory-based GUIs that allow you to browse all player shops, all admin shops, and to find shops that trade a specific type of item. You can teleport to a particular shopkeeper by clicking a button inside the GUI.
This plugin also integrates support for trading with Vault-based currency, but does so by replacing Shopkeepers' normal trade handling.
If you have also written an add-on plugin and want it listed here, let me know!
@Aerogizz
So do i, i just wonder why the devs are not answering or anything. Either they are having summer vacation or this is truly abandoned. Let's just wait patiently. . . (REALLY NEED FIX FAST)
@semirotta
Well that'll be a shame if it doesn't get updated. I really like this plugin.
@Aerogizz
This plugin is broken at the moment, it is made for 1.6.1 but it ain't really working in 1.6.2. This is the only plugin I am having issues too and the devs are not answering.
I found another bug, sometimes the Shop villager transforms into NORMAL villager and starts running around (killable) ... If this plugin is not going to be fixed, I plan no longer to use it. No color code compatible, Shop villagers duplicate into normal villagers with name of the shop....How can plugin break like this from 1.5.2 to 1.6.2 :(
It doesn't seem to work for me either on 1.6.2 I see that it is working for others. I can't get mine to though. It's the only plugin I can't get to work at the moment.
@AlexNova1555
It works just fine otherwise but not the color codes, even the shopkeeper names has changed from green to white.
Not work for me i play in 1.6.2 help ?
@der_Kernschatten
You should check out @semirotta
The plugin in 1.6.2 no longer knows the color codes... I truly hope this gets fixed.
fudge it, i just changed all the bold green $$$ books into boring normal white $$$books.... it does no longer recognize & mark which makes the colors impossible to add into it... Just kind a bullshit since people can use Anvil to re-name normal book into $$$ and voila, abusing the economy system.
Why cant you just fix it so i can get back my green bolded books?
The primary functions of 1.14.2 seem to work perfectly in 1.6.2.
The only anomaly I've seen is colored text for an item name doesn't seem to stick. See this item, for instance: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/grappling-hook/
The orange title of Grappling Hook looks like a white &6Grappling Hook instead. The tool still works regardless of the naming issue.
Was this function ever supported?
some players are reporting they "dont have permission" to do trades. I cant reproduce it it seems random
@nisovin
I haven't edited anything, all i did was update to 1.6.2 and it messed up. Everything was working perfectly fine in 1.5.2... It is not my fault since I've done NOTHING. This is why I would like to know how to get it back to work.

This plugin worked fine in 1.5.2, after updating to 1.6.2 the plugin no longer knows the colored book
Just wanted to thank for the update! Keep it going and keep adding new features and improvements!
Thanks!
@semirotta
You may need to change your file encoding. You also shouldn't modify the save.yml file unless you know what you are doing.
Why is this plugin no longer knowing "&" mark?
http://pastebin.com/VQ4EwKb8
It used to work in 1.5.2 , after updating it started to give errors, changed & marks into strange square ? marks instead but i changed them myself back to & and it still gives error.
EDIT:
I Dont know if i explained this clearly... I mean that there are MONEY BOOKS in my server , color green and bolded... &l&2$$$ is the text in them... I have used them in my shop as "money" but after i put them into the shop, reload the plugin the book name changes to &l&2$$$ ... also it gives error for not knowing & mark etc. Please fix and make it compatible with these again since i dont want to change the money book to be only white $$$
Oh also I forgot to mention that whenever I select a villager to be a green villager, it just makes it the default brown one. I am unsure why the issue is happening though.
Is there a way to disable the villager noises at all? they are a bit annoying to say the least. I am not sure if that is possible but if it is, please consider it. If not I will just warn my players before they enter the room with the shops.
Same as lanceryy doesnt work for me on 1.6.2
@lanceryy
don't know about you but for me it works and i use 1.6.1 version of plugin in 1.6.2 server.
1.6.2 it is incompatible server version
@semirotta
That's a configuration error... Actually read the stack hurr durr
