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!
In reply to Daeronn_:
Nope, the trading interface only allows 1 stack of output items.
You could however sell a shulker box that contains multiple stacks of cobblestone.
Or you set up a trade for some 'cheaper' input item: E.g. assume that 8 gold ingots are worth 1 emerald on your server, you could set up a trade of 4 gold ingots for 1 stack of cobblestone. However, if you are trying to set up a player shop, you will then have to use a 'trading' player shop, instead of a 'selling' one (see the wiki on how that type of shop is set up).
Select multiple chests
hey, is there any way to select multiple chests for one villager? If not, can you bring that in? But actually this is a very cool plugin
In reply to Simukani:
This is on the todo list.
The best plugin out there! Super simple to use. I 100% recommend it :)
how to get the shop kepper egg
In reply to 2malte2:
As admin: "/shopkeeper give"
You can then set up some admin shopkeeper that sells the item to your players.

In reply to blablubb:
Great Log..but where is the download ? :D We cant wait for it xD
In reply to Cloude_lecaw:
CurseForge upload approval times are out of my control (and I don't really mind them). In the future, I will probably avoid posting the changelog until the upload has been approved, to avoid any kind of confusion.
In reply to Cloude_lecaw:
Apparently they don't review file uploads on fridays and saturdays (I did not know that), hence the additional delay.
When will the official release of 1.18 be?
In reply to synchroniceyt:
Now (but it may take another day or so for the update to be approved by CurseForge staff and available for download)
In reply to blablubb:
Awesome!
Expecting support for version 1.18. Any prevision?
In reply to thiursinhogamer:
I’m waiting too :(( I really need this 1.18 plugin update
In reply to nam8817:
I still have a few things I want to improve/include in the v2.14.0 update before I officially release it. This might still take a couple of days. However, if you want to run Shopkeepers on MC 1.18 early, you can join the Discord server and try out the snapshot of v2.14.0 that I linked there a few days ago.
In reply to blablubb:
Yessss, thanks
It has been nearly 2 weeks since you told me that the plugin need a couple day to update. Can I have the exact time ?
Hello!
I have a problem when spawning an admin, I configurate the villager and then suddenly it disappear and a lot of other villagers appear insted and I can't delate or configurate them.
What can I do? I try a lot of things but nothing seems to work.
In reply to missdeadful:
Consider creating an issue ticket over at GitHub (https://github.com/Shopkeepers/Shopkeepers/issues) together with further information that could help to reproduce the issue, such as your exact server and Shopkeepers plugin versions, which other plugins you are using, your save.yml file, etc.
The shopkeeper entity disappearing could be caused by:
* Some other plugin removing the entity.
* The server itself removing the entity if the server's difficulty is set to peaceful and the mob is some kind of monster (not the case here).
The other villagers appearing: I have no explanation for this yet. Maybe these are other shopkeepers, which one of your other plugins prevented from spawning, but the Shopkeepers plugin periodically tries to respawn them. However, this doesn't explain why you are not able to edit them.
If you are running a fairly recent server version, my current guess would be that probably one of your other plugins is interferring somehow. You could try removing plugins to see if they resolve the issue. Or you setup a separate test server where you add plugins in small batches until the issue occurs, in order to figure out which other plugins is causing this.
Also, enable debug mode inside the config and then send me a server log with the additional debug output from the time your encounter this issue.
