VillagerShop

VillagerShop

Turn villagers into real merchants: create fully configurable multiplayer shops.

VillagerShop adds a Merchant Counter: a job-site block you place and configure, which a villager claims to serve your customers — exactly like a villager binding to a lectern or a cartography table.

You define what you sell and what you buy, and the goods come from (and payments go into) the counter's own storage. No more trust chests: the shop manages stock and payments on its own.

✨ Features

• Configurable Merchant Counter — a tabbed interface (Shop / Trade / Stock / Upgrades) reserved for the owner.
• A villager as the seller — it binds to the counter like a real job-site block and opens a vanilla-style trading screen for customers.
• Any item as currency — not just emeralds: trade anything for anything.
• Real physical stock — goods sold leave the counter, payments are deposited into it. No stock = the offer is unavailable.
• Modular upgrades (Upgrades tab):
  • Immortality (Nether Star) → the seller becomes invincible.
  • Movement (Prismarine Shard = stays within 3 blocks; Amethyst Shard = stands still in front of the counter).
  • Storage (Chests) → +27 slots per chest, up to 216.
  • More offers (Emerald Blocks) → each block unlocks an extra trade, up to 8 offers.
  • Communication (Lightning Rod) → notifies owners when a sale is blocked (out of goods, or storage full) and when the merchant dies — instantly if online, otherwise on their next login. Adds a "Locate merchant" button.
  • Access (Block of Gold) → unlocks co-owner management.
  • Memory (Bookshelf) → save module: export the shop config into a signed book (copyable in a crafting table) and import it into another counter.
  • Blast protection (Obsidian) → the counter resists explosions.
• Co-owners — share configuration with other players (via the Access upgrade).
• Built-in guide — a Patchouli book explains everything, available in English and French.

Each upgrade unlocks a feature; remove the item and the feature turns off — but your settings are kept.

🏹 PillagerControl integration

With PillagerControl installed (1.21.1 NeoForge), a pacified pillager can run your counter instead of a villager — shopkeeper outfit included. The Upgrades tab then shows an exclusive Guard Kit slot: your vendor defends the shop with his crossbow when attacked, and even the Movement upgrade lets him leave for his daily meal at the Mess.
