# Shop Starter Guide

***

#### 🧪 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

1. Choose where you want your shop to be.
2. Place a **chest** to hold your shop items.
3. *(Optional)* Decorate your store with a stall or structure.
4. Hold your **Villager Spawn Egg** and **right-click the chest** to link it.
5. 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**:

1. Place your items into the **linked chest** — stacks recommended!
2. **Shift+Right-click** the villager to open the **Shopkeeper Editor**.
3. 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.)
4. 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.
