Ascendant Coins
by Mowmaster
Ascendant Coins adds nine tiered coin items, from small copper to large netherite, that players can use as a currency in their worlds.
What it does
Each coin is made from a vanilla material, so the set runs from small copper through medium copper and large copper, then small and large iron, small and large gold, and small and large netherite. The values follow a base of nine: one coin of a tier is worth nine of the tier below, so 1, 9, 81, 729 and 6561 units form the chain. The default crafting recipes use the same base nine, and the coin values and recipes can be changed in the configuration files.
The mod was inspired by the Ascendance Bookworm Series and is meant as a coin currency for Fabric worlds. Cloth Config API is an optional dependency, and when it is installed the settings can be edited through an in-game screen. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is closed: the project is released under All rights reserved, not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Nine coin tiers
Coins are split into small and large variants of copper, iron, gold and netherite, plus a medium copper tier.
Base nine value chain
Each tier is worth nine times the one below it, giving a simple exchange rate between every pair of coins.
Vanilla material recipes
Every coin is crafted from ordinary Minecraft materials, so no new ore needs to be found.
Editable values and recipes
Coin values and crafting recipes can be changed in the configuration, so a server can adjust the economy.
