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!
The plugin does not work on my 1.16.4 server. I could have some help please?
In reply to togali_tv:
Works fine on my 1.16.4 testing server. Can you clarify the issue you are having and your setup (server version, other plugins, config changes, ..)? Also consider creating a ticket for this over at github.
In reply to blablubb:
the plugin is in red in the / plugin, the command is there but it does nothing after being sent
In reply to togali_tv:
Check your server log. The plugin probably shut down due to an error. Make sure that you are using the correct version of this plugin, one that is compatible with your server version.
Can you please make an admin shop that stores the item you bought something with?
I have a server that I want people to buy stuff from but have an infinite stock but yet still keep the items they bought it with, for example:
I buy 10 wheat for 1 emerald, I want to keep the emerald but have infinite wheat so i don't need to refill it.
Something like that, maybe have a command that connects a chest from the shop or something? sorry if this is too difficult but it would be a really cool idea since this is the best shopkeeper mod i can find!
In reply to Official_Zynexx:
Consider opening a ticket over at github and also try to motivate this feature there, i.e. why exactly you need this. Also note that the shop would no longer allow for 'infinite' tradining then, since trading would need to be prevented once the chest of items is filled. So since you have to periodically manage the chest anyways, why not just create a player shop?
Are you able to use another plugin's economy system with this? (Like essentials/vault?)
Also does this work on 1.12.2?
In reply to smileydinoberry:
Not directly. This plugin allows you to setup item-based trades. However, there are economy plugins which use an item-based currency (such as Gringotts), or which allow you to exchange between virtual currency and items (such as Coins). These plugins then interface with Vault, so that other plugins are aware of the player's balance (whether that is virtual, or based on the items the player has in his inventory, such as it is the case for Gringotts).
Question!!
has the witch shopkeeper bug been fixed? I'd really like to add different kind of shopkeepers i.e. wandering trader, chicken, etc. for roleplay.
I remember in the past, spawning a witch shop (/shopkeepers witch) crashed all my shops.
This plugin has been so useful, so thank for you the time & work that is put into keeping this plugin up & running.
In reply to christianmaskevich:
I am not aware of any issue with witch shopkeepers (or any of the other by default enabled mob types). Nor am I aware/remember that there have been issues with this in the past. So if you have reported this issue in the past, maybe you can link me to this report?
In either case: Just give it a try and then let me know if you encounter issues (by creating a ticket over at github).
Why do items cannot be traded or even stacked after the server restarts
In reply to 毒檸檬:
There is an open issue that results in only items that conform to Spigot's internal data format to be supported. See: https://hub.spigotmc.org/jira/browse/SPIGOT-5063
ım putting a shopkeeper but ı cant put a buying or trading or sell shop just admin shop
it says you have to select an admin shop type
In reply to Shrogue1:
Take a look inside the wiki on how player shops are created: https://github.com/Shopkeepers/Shopkeepers-Wiki/wiki/Creating-Shops#player-shops
You either need to use the shop creation item, or enable player shop creation by command inside the config and then target a chest when executing the command.

If you send me the file directly, or create a PR and attach it there, I will add it to the language repository.
Is there a way to chage the currency to diamonds or is it only emeralds
In reply to Forge_User_94157833:
Yes, you can change the currency for the selling or buying shops inside the config. You can also use a trading shop, which allows you to setup trades for arbitrary items.
