Village Shop System
by lepoko2525
Village Shop System lets villagers run shops of their own: players place shelves and registers, and villagers stock them, trade items for emeralds and collect the earnings.
What it does
Shelves and registers form the core of the mod. Shelves hold items that players set up for sale, and villagers browse them, pick what they want, and pay at a register. Emerald earnings are gathered by the register automatically, so the shop runs without the player touching the money. Registers can be linked into a shop group, so several shelves in one district share a single till. Hopper input and output are supported on shelves and registers, which lets item flow be automated.
Pricing is handled in two ways. Automatic prices cover vanilla trades such as food, tools, potions and enchanted books, and the price of any individual item can be set through per-item JSON config files. A Cloth Config screen adjusts price multipliers, which items are tradeable and some villager behavior. Chairs and standing spots let villagers sit and relax after a purchase, and villagers that buy food show eating animations. The mod is released under the MIT License, and its source code is public.
The mod runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. It is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it, and it supports multiplayer. Multiplayer servers can build a shopping district with daily villager routines. Its latest files are version 1.1, published on 2026-03-12.

How it compares
Villagers follow Emerald Blocks is a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.4 under an All rights reserved license, and it runs on client and server. N0 Emeralds is a Fabric client-side only mod for 1.21 – 1.21.10 under All rights reserved, so only the client needs it. VillagerTradeFix is a Fabric client and server mod published for 1.19.2 – 1.21.1 under the MIT License, covering trade fixes rather than shops. I Demand More is a Fabric server-side only mod for 1.18 – 1.20.4 under the MIT License, so players need nothing installed.
