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!
Respawn of lost shopkeepers are too slow in the latest test version.
@HTksos
That restriction only applies to player shops, not admin shops.
I can understand players not buying from their own shops, but we should be able to make an exception to this rule for admins buying from admin shops?
When I right click nothing happens.... I didn't change config in anyway
@draccydragon
Just take away permissions on that world.
I have multiple worlds, including one that is 'vanilla' style gameplay with mods disabled. I have no way to enable normal villager trading in these worlds since your plugin currently is globally-effective. Is there a way to add multi-world support?
Can you add the feature of the Admin Shops (X material for X material) for the normal shops of the users?
thanks
@nisovin
Actually lets you buy it
@Faldonboy
Does it actually let you purchase the item incorrectly, or does it just show up but then not work?
Having a bit of a problem, We have a shop that uses ID 383 and 383:3-6(blank spawn eggs) as currency. Just made it last night and I thought it was working fine until one of our admins discovered that it isn't obeying the data values. Any of the eggs regardless of their DV can be used to purchase anything yet If I take one of the eggs to another shop that uses them they work fine.
Any ideas why this would happen? Using 1.9 test version
EDIT: Found the issue but I'm not sure how to explain it. Basically it was because I had multiple currencies in one shop that were all the same item just with different data values, once I separated each item into its own shop it worked fine and they stopped accepting spawn eggs that they shouldn't have. This requires having a lot of extra npcs though. If you could fix this itd be great.
Is there a way to make each player able to purchase the item just once? After they have bought the item they cannot buy it again.
Is this possible?
Please fix this! Error This plugin is so crucial to our server right now and this keeps causing all of the shops to despawn if they have items with an nbt tag.
EDIT: Lawl..I didn't realize I was on 1.8 still, 1.9 works fine :P
Could anyone please give a manual on how to set up a sign based shop?
players on my server crash when they have zombe installed and try to use villagers
Hi! I really like this plugin but i have found a very annoying bug for 1.4. When i will give the shopkeeper item with NBT tag "lore" he will be fine, but after server restart your plugin shopkeepers will be broken. To repair this issue i need to go to save.yml and delete the "lore" tag.(funny fact: after next server restart item will still have lore, but problem will appear again) I hope you will check it and eventually fix.
Sorry for bad english
Please add in the logging option with the csv file, that it show if u vend something, what it is, cause in the csv file there is only "EMERALD".
@calldeath1
It's the zombe which throws the error in ZER.b (which is a zombe file). Some of our users had the same *g*
all i am using is zombe fly, rei minimap, optifine
@semirotta
Read the FAQ.
@calldeath1
I can't seem to get this to happen to me. Are you using any client mods?
@EdictServer
It really depends on how many would be loaded at any one time. I haven't really tested the plugin in this kind of situation, so you'd just have to try it and see how it goes. You'd definitely want to set save-instantly to false in your config file.
@semirotta
Perhaps use deny-spawn in worldguard instead of mob-spawning. Then just name what you don't want to spawn. http://wiki.sk89q.com/wiki/WorldGuard/Regions/Flags
