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!
@nisovin
When attempting to change the recipes for a trading NPC, any attempts at placing an item into the chest interface are cancelled.
Hi there,
anyone else having a issue where when you do a trade it reverts back as if the trade didn't happen no matter what you do the trades done stay they keep reverting back?
Hi the /shopkeeper command is not working, doesnt spawn the villager. ty :)
Do u have an estimate for when it will be updated to work with 1.4.6
EDIT: Never mind i see this below. Thank you
nisovin, thank you for your continued support for this plugin :)
Here is yet another test version, which should be compatible with both 1.4.5-R1 and 1.4.6:
http://nisovin.com/shopkeepers/Shopkeepers-1.10-test-2.jar
@nisovin
Working fine for me with 1.4.5.R1.0
I'm using version 1.4.5 R0.2 and i'm using 1.4.5 R0.1 version of this plugin but it says internal server error :( help!
@dcoonrod
Are you using 1.4.5-R1?
@nisovin
Does not work. I Get Following Message When I Type /shopkeeper
In-Game: "An Internal Server Error Occured"
Console: I Didn't Want To Spam So here's A Link
http:pastebin.com/s09rtLPg
A development build for the CraftBukkit 1.4.5-R1 compatible release is available here:
http://nisovin.com/shopkeepers/Shopkeepers-1.10-test.jar
I have not had time to test it yet, but I wanted to get it out ASAP, so here it is. Let me know if you find any problems with it.
Waiting too :D
Recommended Build 1.45R1.0 is out, waiting for shopkeeper Update ;-)
@flyingtacoz
Development builds are for development testing, they are not intended for live servers. If you choose to use those builds, you accept the fact that things could go wrong.
As for "likely be no other updates," have you not seen the debate? They have even said they may revert it if it didn't work out. Also, it will change again when 1.4.6 comes out, which is probably this week or next week. So, it WILL change.
Also, I'm lazy. (This is likely the most important reason).
You can checkout the source if you'd like to update it yourself.
@jorisk322
I think me and him just don't understand why we have to wait till a beta/release build when there will most likely be no other updates to the NMS change that was added in 2512. Lots of people use newer builds of bukkit, or modified ones such as Spigot. And downgrading to an earlier build is not an option as builds before than were unstable. Can you please add an optional development build that fixes this breaking change, or may I please have a downloadable copy of the source code so I can try to fix it myself?
@PhanaticD
'There is a breaking change in build 2512 that completely breaks Shopkeepers (and other plugins as well). It is unlikely I will update until there is a beta or release build. Until then, if you want to use Shopkeepers, you will need to use an earlier CraftBukkit build.'
Did you even read the description?
hello please update, this is the ONLY plugin I am waiting for for an update
would you please tell me why my villagers multiply?
I have disabled natural spawning, so breeding should not be possible. but after a while a shop is crowded with them even if ive only spawned 3.
and the ones that is not the shopkeepers i placed walks around freely and arent tradeable.
Thanks so much for this plugin, its amazing. I cant remember if I msg'd you about this, but the update for the traders to recognize anvil made names isnt working. Or if you didnt implement it, is there anyway you can? Again, ty, and sorry for asking. <3 Cat
i am having a hard time with the plugin i get how to modify the trades but when i press the emerald block and right click the villager it doesnt work plz reply soon.
