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!
Help me with this problem after updating the plugin.
[WARNING] [Shopkeepers] Failed to spawn shopkeeper at world,-1041,48,2305
This plugin is amazing! I love how it's simple and easy to understand. I would say this is the best shopkeeper/shop plugin I have ever used. :]
Thanks!
@nisovin
Can you expose some sort of method that would allow my plugin to check to see if the inventory is a Shopkeepers inventory other than checking if the clicked entity is a shopkeeper? (I saw the isShopkeeper() method available) Players are complaining about MagicChest, the plugin I author, sorting your Shopkeepers inventories. I would so very much appreciate your help!

@nisovin
alright one of my admins reported this to me so I will try it out myself see if he is hallucinating lol
@PhanaticD
I'm unable to reproduce this problem, double-clicking the item in my inventory doesn't do anything for me.
Suddenly every shopkeeper was gone? Is there an update for this or what can it be?
You should remove the head meta. Since head dropping plugins are so versitile I actually use them with villages to turn playerheads into normal heads. To use for trading, Although now with the new update you cannot do that because of the head meta. Any way you can disable that meta?

@NewBreedGaming
I agree, a shift click fix would be great, essential even for our server. This plugin is great, and it's been the perfect shop plugin for our server, but without the capability to shift+click from vendors, I'm afraid I'll have to find a different economy solution.
@nisovin
Sorry but what do you mean by two versions? I can just find one 1.12 on the files page. Or have i missunderstood you?
@re3ell
Shopkeepers v1.12 seems to work fine with CraftBukkit 1.4.7-R1 for me. Are you sure you aren't running some other version of one of the two? Have you tried re-downloading them both?
@deniseee22
That does not look like a bug with this plugin. Shopkeepers does not send messages like that when clicking on emeralds.
Shopkeepers 1.12 says it can´t be enabled on my 1.4.7 R1.0 Server. Your changelog says it is still compatible but it won´t actually start for that reason. Could you make it work with 1.4.7 as i am unable to update my server to 1.5 as long as all the mods we use are updatet.
Um Well it turns out that Magic Chest is Incomparable with this plugin...
BUG! When a player click with midle button of the mouse they dupe money i use emerald economy PLEASE TAKE A LOOK http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVc0DLoluo8&feature=youtu.be
VERY IMPORTANT BUG
Help when i first installed this it was fine but when i made a new world i deleted the folder to start some new villagers but when i try to edit them the shop name/color and the delete items where where the items for trading should be and every time i exit out of the villagers inventory i get the items that were in the trading part please help :(
Hey, I was wondering if there is a way to make is so the ShoopKeeper appears to be a Witch? That would be really cool and helpful on my server! Thank you!
Is it possible to copy shopkeepers?
It works but, the only problem is that my players can't get the items?
Excellent plugin, works great for my server. However, I'd like to know how to change the currency item from emeralds to anything; I'd like my players to have full control over what they sell/accept for the item they're selling. Thanks!
