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!
Is there a way that in the config I can define that the villagers I create can move around?
Buy shops aren't working at all.
@fengchiu1997
I'm using GoldIsMoney because it has Vault integration so I can use things like Residence to buy/sell land using Emeralds (Gold is the default but it can be set to use Emeralds).
Quote from above: "...support for currency plugins (integrate with Vault)..."
There is an emerald to economy plugin by fonkfader called EmeraldEconLink. I wonder if there could be better integration between these two plugins?
playershopkeepers dont read data values at selling, cuz u can put 1 of all types of wood, when someone buy it, they buy the same type of wood the same quantities of all woods. sorry@english
is it that your missing my posts or just plain ignoring me?? i see others have the same problem and they get ignored too.
i don't think its gonna fix itself. This would be a great plugin if the Shops didn't just walk off and stop being shops after around a few hours after each restart :/
Is there a way to prevent the villagers to stop disappearing on server restart?
Is there a way i can only let my players do a egg shop in a specified area?
anyone else having a problem where sometimes you go to edit or buy from a shopkeeper, but the menu wont pop up? its completely random, sometimes it will work, sometimes it wont. and its not all of them not working at the same time. some will work and some wont.
theres no way to seperate dyes it seems, if u wanted to trade in a bonemeal for something it would accept any dye
very nice plugin! love it.
here is a little feature request: might it be possible to give admin shop npc names? that would be really nice.
@DiggerMark
There is a config option if you want to revert to the old behavior. The editor will not allow a stack size to be higher than the max stack size for the item, and potions do not stack.
I upgraded from 1.2 to 1.5 and noticed a difference in handling stacks of potions by player shops. The shop no longer sells premade stacks of e.g. 5 potions. Instead it requires clicking the potions in the editor. But this does not increase the stack count in the offer.
@nisovin
What you can do is if you make it so when they do /kill it will despawn them and when the plugin sees they despawned it will re-spawn them
@ThaSourceGaming
I have no control over how other plugin commands work. For your second question, please see the FAQ.
For /killall command it kills all NPC's and it also kills villagers. Can you make it so villagers don't die by the /killall and /butcher command? Thanks.
And also, what's with the one person can use a shopkeeper at a time? If possible can you have a config option to remove that? Because right now I have to use two shopkeepers for each category i want to trade.
@fuzyfeet
I like the idea of mineral manager I will need to look into that.
My system so far seems to be working with 1 emerald worth 1 nugget. but time is the only test of an economy and things will need to be tweaked from time to time and values adjusted.
@elloc72
Nice video ... The plugin really is as simple as you made it sound, good job
Little bug:
set language to "de". Do a shopkeeper reload -> Error, because umlauts.
Solution: Alter the created language-file to UTF8 without BOM.
