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 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. You need to check for yourself whether they are still up-to-date and compatible with the latest Shopkeepers version. 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.
- Shopkeepers List: Adds commands and inventory-based GUIs to browse shops and find shops that trade a specific item.
- ShopkeepersNavAddon: 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!

Update 1.19.2 ?
v2.16.1 for MC 1.19.1, 1.19, 1.18.2, 1.18.1, 1.18, 1.17.1, 1.17, 1.16.5
I only list the primary changes here. For information on API changes, internal changes, and changes to the language files, you can find the complete changelog on Github: https://github.com/Shopkeepers/Shopkeepers/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md
By default, we will now cancel interactions with Citizen shopkeeper NPCs, similar to how it is already the case for all the other types of shopkeeper objects. Not canceling the interaction with shopkeeper NPCs can result in some unintentional behaviors to take place (e.g. villager NPCs will increment the player's 'talked-to-villager' statistic).
However, there may be cases in which server admins don't mind these additional interaction effects and actually want the normal NPC interaction behavior to take place in addition to the shopkeeper specific behavior, for example to still trigger attached NPC commands. These server admins have the option to revert to the previous behavior by disabling this setting.

Known potential issues: See here.

Hi! Love this plugin! Thanks for all the work!
I wanted to know if there is a form to limit how many trades a player can make in a certain time, like the normal villagers have.
Thanks!
In reply to vetzok:
Nope, it is not possible to limit how often the trades can be used by players, or to have the stock of player shops automatically refill periodically. But you could maybe setup something like this with the help of another plugin, that periodically runs some command to replace the chest contents of some player shopkeeper.
I know how to make a name on the shopkeeper but how do I make the name bold and colour full I've tried everything to make the name colourfully but it says it's an invalid name.I'm on Java edition.
but don't know how to change it to
[A-Za-z0-9&§ ]{3,25}
In reply to adriangamesspro:
Read what I have written below.
1.) Enable the use of color codes inside the shopkeepers plugin config (file server/plugins/Shopkeepers/config.yml) by setting: name-regex: "[A-Za-z0-9&§ ]{3,25}"
2.) Restart the server or reload the plugin.
3.) When naming the shopkeeper in-game, you can now use color codes. For example, &cName will make the name red.
If this doesn't help you, I don't know how else to explain it.

In reply to adriangamesspro:
See the documentation for the "name-regex" setting inside the default config (https://github.com/Shopkeepers/Shopkeepers-Wiki/wiki/Configuration). It explains how you need to change the name-regex setting so that you can use color codes (e.g. &a etc.)
In reply to blablubb:
what command do I use
In reply to adriangamesspro:
Change the name-regex setting inside the config to:
name-regex: "[A-Za-z0-9&§ ]{3,25}"
YOu will then be able to use color codes, as mentioned here: https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Classic_server_protocol#Color_codes
I am using Treasury and economy, is it possible to use your $$$ from that to buy instead of using a physical item?
by the way great mod. it works great
In reply to ThyCodex:
There is a third party addon that mods Shopkeepers to support virtual currencies. There are plans to add something like this to Shopkeepers directly, but right now this is not yet available.
Hello. I love your plugin thank you very much. I was wondering if it is possible to see the history of what an admin shop has sold?
In reply to boulettebill:
You can log all trades to csv files. But there is no way to view the history in-game.
v2.15.1 for MC 1.18.2, 1.18.1, 1.18, 1.17.1, 1.17, 1.16.5
This version is initially marked as 'beta' because there have been a few larger internal refactors that might have introduced new bugs. If no major issues are reported during a certain period after this version has been published, this version will be promoted to 'release'.

Please urgently an update for 1.18.2
Hey, is it possible to not limit the currency to one item? I'd love for players to be able to use any item they want as the cost of their goods, rather than restricting it to one specified item for the entire server.
In reply to deek0_:
Players can create 'trading shops'. The configured currency item is only used by the selling and buying shops. See the wiki on how trading shops are created and how their trades are set up.
