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!
@Alfatossa
I gave up personally already. There is no answers from devs, they did one update and it fixed NOTHING. Still keep checking these but it sure is kind a waste of time :) works fine on 1.5.2 though
i want the 1.6.2 update the faster as possible im starting to lose patience but all my server work with your with this plugin
@absintoj
nice advertising :D
video below is in a foriegn language and for 1.5.2 English please
Can v1.15.1 use in Minecraft 1.5.2 ?
Do the Shopkeepers despawn?
I want to create a creepershop, as it shows in the config. how do i do that?
ok heres my problem I want my shops to be able to Buy stuff not sell. older versions allowed this new one doesnt. I want to buy lets say 10 bottles for a gold nugget. set the box under and spawned a shopkeeper. it wants a me to buy the item i cant even place items in the shopkeeper as a money source anymore. how can i get it to accept any payment for payment.
Ok I have a problem that just started ..
I made a villager with paper with different enchantments (for different amounts) .. this used to work fine .. however it just started ignoring the enchantments .. I can not figure out why
@Noob_443
this used to work but it is broken since 1.6.1... Reason why i no longer use this plugin is because it is very broken and the devs arent even answering questions.
Could you add a config option to stop users from naming the shops and to auto detect and set the shop name as "playername's shop" This would be helpful.
@theknight2009
You can simply use the anvil and rename the gold nugget as euro its what i have done for a pickaxe
Any chance of getting colored item display name supported?
Hello,
I know this is designed for CraftBukkit, but is there any chance of it becoming compatible with BukkitForge (specifically for 1.5.2) I'm working on a Hexxit (uses forge and many mods) server and would like to use this, but it doesn't work right.
Thanks, - Kurtis_
@theknight2009
People can re-name GOLD_NUGGET into euro and use the same stuff there.
Naming, duplicating villagers and colors are not working :P also it is RAM eater, there is something really wrong in the code.
Before the previous update I was able to name a GOLD_NUGGET "Euro" and then put it in the shopkeeper and it would only allow a GOLD_NUGGET named "Euro". But the new update you can just put in a GOLD_NUGGET and it will still give you the receive item, even though you have to pay a GOLD_NUGGET named "Euro". Please fix this, It is a a big problem for my server. Thanks!
In V1.14.2 We can type any words with the shop name besides the English, however In V1.15 because of the new added name-regex we can type the name .....plz let's us to set enable or not. Thanks
where can i find the list of daily buys that players do from shopkeepers.
found it once and never could find again
@MasterMithrandir
Once again... Broken plugin.
If you're receiving a problem after updating, or just your first install, make sure to head to "Recent Files" on the right -hand sidebar and select the newest version available. For me, the common "Download" link took me to a version of Shopkeepers compiled for 1.5.2. Probably just an error.
