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!
Just made a bukkit account to say that this plugin is AMAZING love it me and my friends just it all the time :)
In reply to khipare:
That's nice to hear :)
Hi im super new to this so im sorry if this sounds stupid
I have the plugin installed and its working very well
i just wanted to know how to allow non op-ed players can use the /shopkeeper give commands
Or do the op-s have to give people the shop egg everytime
Thank you for your help
In reply to Pracind:
The "/shopkeeper give" command is not mean to be used by normal players. It is a utility command meant for admins, similar to Minecraft's own give command. It is up to you to setup some mechanism for your players to get access to the shop creation item. The recommended and easiest way is to create an admin shopkeeper, for example near your spawn region, that sells the shop creation item to your players for some resource that your players can obtain (such as for example emeralds or diamonds).
Looks like the old issue with mythicmobs items, where the items in shops would switch their internals after certain events such as server restarts is back on 1.17+
In reply to MithrandirMage:
I don't think this was ever gone, at least not on Paper servers.
See https://github.com/PaperMC/Paper/issues/4888
hello, is there any way that when you trade with the villagers you get xp? like a normal villager
In reply to bobpie12:
Nope
Can this realize the functions of "transmitting", "information" and "giving goods"?
In reply to x1759603258:
I don't know what you mean by that. You can setup predefined trades: 1 or 2 stacks of items provided by a player are exchanged for 1 item stack given to the player. Nothing more.
You can not setup trades that don't require at least one input item.
Is there a way to teleport the shopkeeper with commands/command block or is it not possible yet?
In reply to seser16:
Not possible yet.

How do I enable a shopkeeper? I've tried and I've looked here but I can't find out how
In reply to sorrynobodyishome:
What do you mean with 'enable'`? If the plugin was installed and was able to enable, you can create shopkeepers as described in the wiki: https://github.com/Shopkeepers/Shopkeepers-Wiki/wiki/Creating-Shops#shop-creation
In reply to blablubb:
I tried to have a shulker as a shopkeeper and it said they weren't enabled, so how would I fix that? Thanks:)
In reply to sorrynobodyishome:
Add 'SHULKER' to the list of 'enabled-living-shops' inside the config.
In reply to blablubb:
Okay thank you:)

Hi there, Just curious if there is a way to move shopkeepers. on my server we sell shop keeper eggs and when a player wants to move a shopkeeper they can only delete it and do not get another egg back to replace it somewhere else. another question is I don't see a way to remove a trade from a player shop like you can in an admin shop. if someone wants to no longer sell that Item how do they remove it from the shop completely.
Thanks for your time!
