Description
Economy
Economy is a full-featured, server-focused economy mod for Minecraft Forge (1.20.1) designed to provide a flexible, performant, and extensible currency and trading system for multiplayer servers.
The mod introduces a server-wide currency (dollars), player-to-player transactions, server-managed shops, player-driven markets, and a robust API for integration with other mods.
