Shop Starter Guide
Welcome to commerce on A Survival Server! Whether you’re a solo seller or building a shopping district, this guide walks you through setting up a villager-run player shop
🧪 What You’ll Need
Before setting up your shop, make sure you have the following:
Villager Spawn Egg (buy at spawn:
-0, 126, -10)Chest to store your inventory
A claimed area (highly recommended to prevent griefing)
💰 Villager eggs are purchased using Diamonds and Gold Blocks. Quantities vary.
🏗️ Setting Up Your Shop
Choose where you want your shop to be.
Place a chest to hold your shop items.
(Optional) Decorate your store with a stall or structure.
Hold your Villager Spawn Egg and right-click the chest to link it.
Then, right-click the ground where you want the villager to spawn.
🎉 You’ve now got a working player shop!
📦 Stocking and Pricing Items
Let’s say you're selling planks, cobblestone, stone, and diamonds:
Place your items into the linked chest — stacks recommended!
Shift+Right-click the villager to open the Shopkeeper Editor.
Use the editor:
Top row: Items for sale
Middle rows: Items customers must pay (e.g., emeralds)
Bottom row: Customize your villager (appearance, name, etc.)
Set your prices. Example:
32 Planks → 3 Emeralds
64 Cobblestone → 2 Emeralds
16 Stone → 1 Emerald
3 Diamonds → 4 Emerald Blocks
🧾 Each Shopkeeper can have 5 pages with 8 listings per page (up to 40 items total).
💸 All earnings (Emeralds) go into the chest.
❌ If an item runs out, a red ❌ will appear in the villager’s menu.
🏙️ Renting a Market Stall
These are coming soon.
