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!

If by NPC you mean citizens npcs, you create them the same way (you have to enable them first in the config though): https://github.com/Shopkeepers/Shopkeepers-Wiki/wiki/Citizen-Shopkeepers
Book shops randomly break. Sometimes it shows its in stock then randomly says out of stock. https://streamable.com/j1ox8
In reply to Forge_User_23917930:
You also have to add book and quill items to your chest. The book shop basically makes and sells copies of the book(s) in the chest. For that it needs book-and-quills.
If you want to sell the actual book (not a copy), then you can use the selling or trading shopkeeper instead.

tyty, works now
hola tengo un problema al iniciar el plugin me sale este error y no me lo ejecuta, puede ser por el archivo jar?
In reply to jean17244:
Shopkeepers v2.7.2 is not compatible with Spigot 1.8.x. You will have to use an older version of Shopkeepers.
Hello, I have the current spigot and shopkeepers update for 1.14 and it only lets me use commands to spawn in an admin shop. With this I can place the object I want to sell for the price and am able to use it but, When I use the editor GUI I just moved the items around like its a normal chest.
In reply to JTRedEye26:
Please post which exact version of spigot and shopkeepers you are using, and check your server log for errors.
"it only lets me use commands to spawn in an admin shop"
Admin shops can only be spawned by command.
In reply to blablubb:
Spigot 1.14.4
shopkeepers v2.7.2
In reply to JTRedEye26:
Well, I just tried the latest versions of both Spigot and Shopkeepers (http://prntscr.com/okno6l) and I cannot observe any issues: Both admin and player shops, as well as the editor menu work fine for me.
In reply to blablubb:
Is there any plugins that brake it
In reply to blablubb:
Also Is there an easy way to send you a video of whats happening
In reply to JTRedEye26:
> Is there any plugins that brake it
Yes. But it is up to you to figure out which of your plugins are incompatible with. Once you figured that out let me know and I look into resolving that issue.
> Also Is there an easy way to send you a video of whats happening
I don't know. There are some tools for creating short gifs and uploading them. Windows might have some screen capture tool preinstalled by now. And there is also nvidea's shadow play for recording the screen.
I am not sure though how helpful a video alone would be. If you have made sure that you are using the latest version of Spigot, and the latest version of Shopkeepers, and there are no errors inside your server log, then it might very well be some plugin incompatibility causing the issue. You will have to try without other plugins and then add them back step by step until it breaks.
Hello I have the problem that I can put the items with which you delete the Villager or flip the pages just in my inventory and nothing happens.
In reply to Forge_User_24181045:
Make that sure you are running the latest version of shopkeepers.
In reply to Forge_User_24181045:
I'm having the same issue running the most recent shopkeepers update.
In reply to hantaraki:
Can you check your server log for errors and verify which exact version of shopkeepers you are using. My guess is that you are having the same issue as this: https://github.com/Shopkeepers/Shopkeepers/issues/586
Hey Bla,
All the commands are working but when I go to change things in the "sneak-mode right-click" and click stuff in the chests, nothing changes and nothing comes up in the chat. The shopkeepers also seem to not have animations, do you know what could be causing this? Running on paperspigot 1.14.3, not sure if this isn't working on newer builds passed 1.14.0.
In reply to hantaraki:
You might not be running the correct version of Shopkeepers. Pick the latest version from here: https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/shopkeepers/files
