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!
Hello I found a bug if you put enchanted Diamond chestplate in shopkeeper to buy it from players you can put non-enchanted Diamond chestplate and it will work as enchanted Diamond chestplate. For example, Shoopkeepers are buying enchanted diamond chestplate for 50 emeralds, but not buying non-enchanted diamond chestplate at all. You can sell non-enchanted diamond chestplate as enchanted diamond chestplate for 50 emeralds.
@xH3LLRAIZ3Rx
Nvm im on a ipad so it wont dwnload lol
The 1.8 download link is broken : (
@UnitedFactions
In the config you can either block villager tradings or block regular villagers from spawning
Is it possible to block the villager trading completly?
How can I make player shops to have completely freedom when trading? (for example, a player shop that can trade one bread for three wheat)
@RasCas
Are you using version 1.8? I don't think the shopkeeper protection is working properly in that version right now, so it's possible your shopkeepers are simply being killed.
I've not had the Shopkeeper unloading issue again in more than a day.
The only thing I did different was delete one of three shopkeepers that were a bit close together and one was no longer needed.
Not sure if this will happen again, but so far, so good.
:-( Bad luck it hit me again.
I got the feeling, that monsters are interested in shopkeepers again, and the shopkeepers panic if Monsters and normal villagers are near. ;-)
I do not know if they become normal villagers, but the places they are supposed to be are empty. Reloading the Plugin fixes this ...temporarily till they vanish again.
i disabled it in clear lag and up till now, they are all there. knock on wood. ;-)
But monsters are hunting my shopkeepers, they cannot hurt them. But it's easy to kill mobs just by waiting near the shopkeepers.
I've started experiencing the unloading shopkeepers, as well. Though, the only change I can think of that was made was the upgrading to the latest Spoutcraft & Spoutplugin for 1.3.2.
@RasCas
The unloading shopkeepers is still a problem regardless, but yes as nisovin said, that plugin will do it too.
@RasCas
It looks like that plugin removes all entities, in which case yes, it will also remove your shopkeeper villagers.
I am using 1.8 and i got the problem of disappearing Shopkeepers , too. Reloading shopkeepers fix this, but that cannot be the solution.
PS: Can it be a interception with Clear Lag? http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/clearlagg/
Nvm i know the problem it was a auto chest sorter
yeah the GUI is messed up when editing shopkeepers
Ok, so currently admin shops can handle ANY item including written books that were spawned in with data values(blank written books, 387:100 for example) however, I need a shop that has a limited stock of these and none of the shopkeepers besides admin ones will accept written books unless they have been signed by a player. Any chance you can make them accept spawned-in written books?
I've uploaded a new version of 1.8 for testing. This version includes purchase logging!
Weird. I'll do some more testing
Thanks for the tip, they're back to normal right now :)
@diannetea
Really? Mine seems to be working fine. Just turn off the chest protection on Shopkeepers, and make people use LWC to lock their chests. Makes for a good mix. :D
Also, look into getting TimedCommands and having it reload Shopkeepers every 10 minutes. (It's lightweight to reload like that, believe it or not) This will fix the villager bug.
