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!
Support for the green 'Nitwit' villager variant added in MC 1.11. Is that the Cartographer - the map villager ??? Thanks for Update .,
I decided to try compiling your 1.11 version before posting my .jar file. It works just like the jar I got off bukkit.org. Great work, thank you!
Amazing plugin, thank you for updating!
Thanks for updating to 1.11
@codiaz @Alfatodds
v1.79 for MC 1.11, 1.10, 1.9.x, 1.8.x
Update for MC 1.11:
This however means that you cannot switch back to previous minecraft versions without loosing those converted shopkeepers.
And you will have to give all your players, which were previously able to create zombie or skeleton shopkeepers the required permission nodes for stray, wither_skeleton and zombie_villager, otherwise they won't be able to access/edit their shops after this conversion.
Also, if you are running on a minecraft version below MC 1.11, you can no longer cycle through the different zombie variants and skeleton variants and existing shopkeepers using those will fallback to normal zombies and skeletons.

@Alfatodds
Give the man some time... Plus I think he will wait for a bit more stable release of spigot :)
the plugin does not wrok for the 1.11 builds can you update?
@nimanode
Well, maybe some configuration or permissions setup or the spigot server is different on the server where you test this version and the server where you test your own version.
Other than that: I have no idea why only certain things would not work if the rest of the plugin works with your version.
I am not very experienced with maven and the setup of the multi-module stuff, so I were pretty glad once I had it setup and working. So I can't tell for sure if there is anything I am doing differently. But as I'm using maven and all build files are in the repository and up-to-date my guess would be no.
Maybe create a ticket and attach your compiled version there, and maybe some screenshots of your setup. Maybe I find some difference by looking at it.
Hi blablubbabc,
I downloaded the source from github and followed your non-Maven instructions to compile it (on Windows), also I had a friend try it with Maven (on Linux). We were both able to successfully compile, and the plugin runs. We both tried this several times, and followed the instructions posted on github to the letter.
Both have the same result. I am able to install the plugin, it runs, I am able to create shops and shopkeepers, I am able to access the shop editor. But I am NOT able to trade (with my own shopkeepers or with others). However, the .jar downloadable from here (bukkit.org) does not have this problem.
I can provide any relevant information you need. Is there a step missing in your compile instructions? Any idea on what's wrong?
Thank you, -Tom
@CriticalThoughts
Not a priority for me right now. But if you have a nice, easy to add idea on how to setup of those trades would work for players, let me know by creating a ticket and suggesting it there.
Is it possible to create more than 9 trades?
@Makemp1997
I don't see the images. Maybe create a ticket and attach the images there. The trades will only show up if you have enough currency stocked in the chest.
Hello,
Wel this is a nice pulgin, but sometime it is a bit unclear how it works though. I don't know how the buy works, when some added some item in chest and the price is sellectend in the gui nothing wil aprear when someone want to buy from it.
See iamages.
Pls help its says just Yo dont have permission but im op !
@SpeedMatias
Create a ticket and attach your full server log there. Then I can look into it.
[03:20:43 ERROR]: Could not pass event PlayerInteractEntityEvent to Shopkeepers v1.78? solucion?
@kotarobo
Works fine for me. Make sure you have citizens plugin running, citizens shopkeepers enabled in the config, and the required permissions.
/shopkeeper npc not work?
v1.78 for MC 1.10, 1.9.x, 1.8.x

Totally doesn't work. I was REALLY hoping it would, because this is such an awesome and simple idea! But sadly it doesn't work...
I can set up the shop just fine, but then when I right click a shop, clicking anything closes it.
I've made it that you give one emerald to get one diamond (just as a test). I have diamonds and emeralds in my inventory. I try to click them to sell, but the trade screen just closes...
Very saddened.
