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!

Make sure you have read the changelog and notices of v2.3.0 before installing this version! Especially if your are just updating to MC 1.13.
(This update is marked as 1.12 compatible, only because there is no tag yet for 1.13)

v2.3.1 for MC 1.13
Make sure you have read the changelog and notices of v2.3.0 before installing this version! Especially if your are just updating to MC 1.13.
(This update is marked as 1.12 compatible, only because there is no tag yet for 1.13)
Regarding updating from 1.13-pre-releases of Spigot:
Due to non-backwards compatible changes to item serialization inside Spigot while 1.13 is still in development, you are not be able to safely continue using any save-data that you create while running one version of Spigot 1.13-pre-releases on other 1.13-pre-release or the 1.13-releases (once it arrives)! So whenever you update your server version from a 1.13-pre-release of Spigot to a newer build, you will have to clear your save data (revert to your 1.12.2 backup if you have one) and run the update again!
I've checked the config and it doesn't seem like it does but I am going to ask here just in case.
Is there a way to allow villagers, but prevent villagers from having trades for stuff like Mending, and Frost Walker/other enchantments, and only items? That or disallowing any kind of villager from spawning except for Cartographers for example? I want to allow Villagers in my server, but I do not want people getting Mending/Frost Walker from them(I want them from Quests/Envoys/End Cities exclusively)...but if I remove them then it removes an aspect of the game from the server as well as the ability to create Iron Farms for example.
Thanks in advance for the response!

v2.3.0 for MC 1.13
This update brings support for MC 1.13:
(This update is marked as 1.12 compatible, only because there is no tag yet for 1.13)
Some important notices to begin with:
Migration procedure:
Item data values have been removed and various material (item/block) names have changed to be more in-line with vanilla minecraft names. So this update require a migration of existing configs and shopkeepers data.
Updating is only supported from version v2.2.1 and MC 1.12.2:
Other changes related to the update:

For anyone wondering about an update for MC 1.13:
With spigot's 1.13-pre7 release I started doing some preparations, but due to other more important duties I might either have no time to finish this in the next weeks (until around 18.08.2018), or might only be able to release something highly experimental without being able to fix any issues that come up in the meantime.
The current state of the update looks as follows:
* Backwards compatibility for any versions below 1.13 will be dropped.
* I take this chance to also remove a bunch of older migration and compatibility code. This however means that the update to 1.13 will only be supported if you are updating from MC 1.12.2 and Shopkeepers version 2.2.1! So if you intend to update to 1.13, make sure that you first update to MC 1.12.2 and Shopkeepers v2.2.1!
* Currently there is at least one remaining Spigot issue that needs to be resolved, before I can proceed with the update.
I will push the current state of the update to the github repository, in case someone wants to work on a quicker update. A snapshot that seems to work, but is missing any importing/conversion of shopkeeper data, is available on the maven repository for anyone wanting to experiment with it.
Thanks for your patience.
@blablubbabc
Ever considered opening a Discord server? Many plugin devs are doing it
Anyway just came in to ask if it would be possible to set custom currencies with special lore and name (Ideally setting large and small currency through a command that takes whatever is in my hand), since it would be really usefull if it wasn't only limited to minecraft item ID:DATA.
This is the last piece for a plan I have on my server to make xrays useless (Not stopping them, just making them useless xD), so it would really be helpfull >_<!!
The main thing which makes an item customizable for me, and different from another identic ID is it's lore.
