Everything you do in your world moves the market. Mine iron, and iron stocks dip. Farm wheat all day, and agricultural prices collapse. Kill enough blazes, and arcane commodities shift. QuantCraft turns your Minecraft world into a living economy where supply, demand, and player behavior drive real price action.
Earn -- Deposit resources (iron, wheat, leather, emeralds…) into a Commodity Exchange to receive Dollar Bills.
Invest -- Use Dollar Bills at a Stock Exchange to buy and sell stocks that track in-game resources.
Watch -- Prices update in real time. A Quotron Terminal on your desk shows live tickers, charts, and daily movers.
React -- World events trigger market shifts. Thunderstorms boost lumber. A Wither fight spikes arcane stocks. A flood of player-sold feathers crashes the poultry index.
The market opens at dawn and closes at dusk. You'll see opening movers, closing summaries, and newspapers that report (and cause) breaking events.

QuantCraft teaches real market concepts through gameplay:
You don't need to know any of this going in. You'll learn it by watching your portfolio.
In singleplayer, the Liquidity Bot and world events keep the market alive. In multiplayer, other players become the market — their mining, farming, and trading decisions move prices just like yours do. Server owners can tune volatility, tax rates, tick intervals, season length, and event pressure through Cloth Config.

The market doesn't care about your feelings. Good luck out there.
