A Selling Shop sells items to players. The only currency you can sell an item for is emeralds. So, if you want to sell your items for diamonds, etc... then you must set up a trading shop.

Once you see the "Selling Shop" type appear when you scroll through your options, right-click on your chest. By doing this, you link your chest to the specific shop you want to have!




Now, pick a spot to spawn your villager. Right-click to place your villager.



Add to your chest the items you want to sell! Your items don't have to be in any specific order. Just throw them in there.



Go back to your villager and Shift + right-click. You'll now see the items you added to your chest, in the shop keeper editor! You'll also see a bunch of other items; those are for customizing your villager! Refer to the bottom of this tutorial for more information on these icons.

Below each of your item types, you'll also see two red zeroes with a diagonal red line (if you hover over them, they say "Barrier"). Left-click the last barrier and you'll see an emerald appear. Keep left-clicking to increase the cost by 1, or shift-left click to increase by increments of 10. Right-click to decrease.



The red barrier right below your item adds blocks of emeralds. 1 Block = 9 emeralds. This field functions the same as above. You can choose to set your cost to a block of emeralds + any additional emeralds.

You can also change the amount of each item by left-clicking.



Right-click your villager and you'll see your completed shop! Congratulations!



Scroll down to "SHOP KEEPER CUSTOMIZATION" to learn how to name your shop and change the appearance of your shopkeeper!

For this first example, we're going to set up a Buying Shop. For a buying shop, you will need: One of each item you wish to buy from other members. You can only buy with emeralds.

Once you see "Buying Shop" type appear, right-click on your chest. By doing this, you link your chest to the specific shop you want to have!

Exit out of the shop keeper editor and right-click your villager and you'll see your completed shop! Congratulations! Note: in this example, you see a red "x". That just means I don't have enough of each item in my chest to trade with.

For this first example, we're going to set up a Trading Shop. For this shop, you'll need:

Items you want to trade to other people
ONE of what you want in return (you can change the quantity of this in the shopkeeper editor).

In the video below, I want to trade my cacti and pumpkin for iron ingot. Instead of iron ingot, you could trade for fish, stone... whatever you want! You can also trade one item, for 2 items:
Ex: let's say you want to sell a shulker full of wood. You could set the price to 1 shulker and 10 diamond for the wood.
Refer to the "other example" spoiler in this section to see how to do this.

With your brown egg in your hand, right-click in the air. Once you see "Trading Shop" type appear, right-click on your chest. By doing this, you link your chest to the specific shop you want to have!

Now, take the item you want to trade for from your inventory and place it two spaces below your items by right-clicking on the box. You'll see you still have one in your hand; put that back in your inventory. Left-click the item in your shopkeeper editor to increase the cost by 1, or shift-left click to increase by increments of 10. Right-click to decrease. You can also change the quantity of the item you want to trade using the same clicking method.

Exit out of the shop keeper editor and right-click your villager and you'll see your completed shop! Congratulations! Note: in this example, you see a red "x". That just means I don't have enough of each item in my chest to trade with, as I only have one of each. Be sure to stock your chest full of the items you want to trade!

For this example, we're going to set up a Book Shop. Make sure you have the books you want to sell, along with book and quills. The book and quills are going to act as "copies" of your books. When someone buys a "book" they're actually buying a copy. So, be sure to have plenty of book and quills in stock! As with selling shops, you can only sell your books for emeralds.

Note: This will not work for ENCHANTED books. To sell/trade your enchanted books, you must set up a trading shop.
You can only sell written books.

Once you see "Book Shop" type appear, right-click on your chest. By doing this, you link your chest to the specific shop you want to have!/

Let's go over some of the villager customizations. Sneak (shift + hold) and right click your shop villager. You'll see several items! Hover over each of them and you'll see what each is for. You can change your shop keeper name by clicking the nametag, make it a baby by left-clicking the egg, change its' profession, choose the villager variant (color of clothes) and the villager level which basically just changes the color of the bell, located at the villager's hip. The bone deletes your villager.

Naming your shop:


Baby Variant:


The chest shows you the items in your inventory (chest):


You'll also see two books and quills. By clicking them, you'll scroll through your inventory. Each page holds 9 items.
