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!
In reply to zapeesz:
So you have a trade 5x SpecialWood -> 10 emeralds. And you want the trade to work with regular wood? That's not possible then. Shopkeepers only configures minecraft trades. It does not change the trading logic. So if minecraft is not allowing this trade, neither will Shopkeepers.
In reply to blablubbabc:
So, what I want to do can not be done? Special wood was an example, what I am doing is a swap of X Apollo Ball ---> peak with special enchantments.
This apollo ball is a magma cream (with a name and glow)
But when users want to get this peak, instead of putting the requested apolo balls, they put magma cream.
Thank you for responding so quickly, I congratulate you for your work.
In reply to zapeesz:
Yes, this does not work. The trade will require exactly the displayed item. You have to either require regular maga cream items in the trade, or somehow give your players those special 'Apollo Ball' items, or allow them to exchange between regular and special magma cream items.
Is there a perm or command where players can place a villager as a normal villager and not a shopkeeper?
In reply to Forge_User_35549337:
If I remember this correctly, you can place the villager as normal when holding the creation item in your off-hand. There is a global setting in the config for disabling the villager creation with the shop creation item. There are no commands or separate permission nodes related to this.
In reply to blablubbabc:
Cheers for the info, worked perfect.
If I create a player shop, can I use a hopper and another chest above it to keep my shop stocked with items?
In reply to scooterprint:
This is disabled by default, since it can potentially allow other players to steal items from these protected chests.
However, you can disable this via the 'prevent-item-movement' setting in the config. But you will have to look into how to protect these chests yourself then.
Hey, every time I shift-click to edit a villager shop, I only get a 3 row chest and cannot go to a new page, I need more than 8 trades. Is it possible to get to the second page? I'm on MC 1.12.2 with shopkeepers v2.2.2
In reply to Forge_User_57904505:
Multiple pages is only supported on the latest Spigot 1.13.2 build with Shopkeepers v2.6.0 (an alpha build!). This was just recently added and is still in alpha status for public testing.
In reply to blablubbabc:
Ah ok. Thanks anyway. Is there any way I can have more than 8 trades with 1 shop or will I have to have multiple villagers?
In reply to Forge_User_57904505:
You might be able to achieve it by manually editing the save.yml, but the recommended way would be multiple shopkeepers.
In reply to blablubbabc:
Ok. Thanks for the help and the awesome plugin!
HI can you use vault money?

v2.6.0 for MC 1.13.2
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.x.
Since the changes of this update are manifold and prone to potentially exploitable issues, this update is initially marked as 'alpha' version to see if any issues come up.
Completely changed the editor interface(s):
Other changes:
Internal changes:
This update includes many message changes. It is therefore suggested to let shopkeeper freshly generate all default messages.
A full overview of the message changes can be found in the changelogs.
Known potential issues: See here.

Tried installing this on Spigot 1.13 and it wouldn't work. Shows up in plugins list but is disabled and didn't generate any files. Installed by adding it via FTP then restarting server. Does the server *have* to be stopped while installing or did something else go wrong?
