Shob Economy
Virtual per-player marketplace for Minecraft. It adds a shop you can open from your inventory — no shop block, no physical coins to place in the world. Buy and sell curated items with dynamic prices that react to how much the server has been trading.
Features
- Inventory shop button — open the market anytime from your inventory UI
- Per-player wallet — money is stored on the player (virtual balance)
- Curated catalog — only items present in the embedded knowledge base (and installed mods) appear for trade
- Search — filter listings by item name
- Amount controls — set how many items to buy/sell (default 1), with small x2 / /2 buttons; totals update with quantity
- Live market pricing — sell prices fall when an item is dumped into the market; related category activity can recover prices
- Difficulty scaling — world difficulty gently shifts buy/sell rates
- Recipe-aware pricing — on server start, the mod walks the live recipe graph (including mod processing times when available) to refine costs from craft trees and obtain time
- Decorative bulk protection — stairs, slabs, wood, leaves, and other easy building blocks sell for 1–2 coins so players cannot farm money from bulk decoration; valuable materials or long obtain times still raise those prices fairly
How it works
- Install the mod on a NeoForge world/server.
- Open your inventory and use the Shop button.
- Browse by mod category, search by name, set quantity, then Sell or Buy.
- Prices shown are for your selected amount (
unit price × quantity). - Selling pushes that item’s market saturation down; buying/selling elsewhere and time help the market recover.
Only items that exist in the installed game and in Shob’s catalog database are listed. Vanilla essentials are always included; mod items appear when that mod is loaded.
Supported content
Always available
- Minecraft (vanilla) — crops, foods, ores, ingots, gems, and rare/boss drops (netherite, nether star, elytra, etc.)

Notes
- This is an economy/QoL mod, not a tech progression overhaul.
- Catalog coverage prioritizes tradeable valuables; decorative bulk is intentionally cheap to sell.
- More mods and deeper craft coverage may be added in future updates.
