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 moonlightx5:
You will have to use an older version of Shopkeepers. v2.8.1 is not comaptible with Spigot 1.12.2.
Try v2.2.2: https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/shopkeepers/files/2615597
Hi there! First of all, thank you for this awesome plugin :)
Second: In 1.15.1, when I place for instance a villager for an admin shop, it always faces south. Can't get it to face a different direction. Known issue? Thanks! And keep up the good work.
In reply to Forge_User_80752915:
Known issues. Requires an update. No ETA yet since I am currently still working on something else.
In reply to blablubb:
Thank you for the quick reply. I'll await the update.
In reply to blablubb:
can you say roughly when the problem will be fixed?
In reply to blueeyestar:
A snapshot is available on the discord server (for testing purposes), which fixes this issue. There are still a few other minor things I want to fix before publishing the update.
In reply to blablubb:
Thank you we will test it :) Great and many thanks
In 1.15 I am getting a bug where even tho the item is in the chest for instance a looting III book. It will not let the players purchase it because it says it's out of stock.
In reply to minecraftsmurf37:
Does this only affect enchanted books or other items as well? How did you create this book? DOes the book use a custom display name?
I am aware of that issue (or another issue with the same effect) for textured player heads and for written books.
In reply to blablubb:
Book from a villager trade also enchanted bows as well
In reply to blablubb:
I have updated my EssentialsX plugin and changed from spigot to paper. Somehow the problem with items using custom displayname or custom enchant (I don't know if it was the displayname problem or enchant) is gone . I'm not 100% sure if it's related.
Test Umm Hello Everyone Just Quick Announcement Or what idk why i do this but the plugin is broken everytime ./shopkeepers and then i click the Villager Proffesions it just pop up a chest with 9slots and theres a title said My Name :/ this is a bug or what i checkeed the config again and again but theres nothing wrong with the config :/ FOR THE CREATOR OF THIS PLUGIN CAN U FIX THIS PROBLEMS Cuz its So Annoying ...............................................\
In reply to fabb_exe:
Maybe also create a short video or screenshots of what you are doing step by step and how the resulting inventory menu looks like.
Since the inventory menu opened by Shopkeepers will usually have more than 9 slots and not your name as title, this might be caused by an incompatibility with one of your other plugins. Can you try to reproduce your issues on a fresh and up-to-date Spigot server without other plugins?
In reply to blablubb:
i dont now how to send a photo :/
In reply to blablubb:
So how do i fix it my man? 😖😖 This is so Annoying :'C
In reply to fabb_exe:
I regulary use this tool for making and uploading screenshots: https://prnt.sc/
Have you tried running it on an empty server, without other plugins?
In reply to blablubb:
Nope :/ i dont have money if i do dat
"Create new server"
Cuz its cost $
In reply to fabb_exe:
You don't have to buy and host a server remotely to test the plugin without other plugins. You can download BuildTools from Spigot's website, build the latest version of Spigot 1.14 or 1.15 and run the server locally on your own PC.
I have a bug, when I create a ShopKeeper and shift+click to this but nothing inside, only the GUI.I tried to look at the chest, but nothing happened, can you help me ?
P/s: Sorry for my English, I'm Vietnamese :D
