Better Money Mod
by JovialDuck78
Better Money Mod brings a dollar-bill currency into Minecraft, with denominations from 1 up to 10,000 that players can carry and trade.
What it does
Bills come in nine denominations, from small notes up to 10,000 dollars. Players craft a wallet from 2 leather and 1 string to hold them, and the storage is compact, built specifically for money. The mod is meant for roleplay servers, where trading and building an in-game economy follow real-world rules.
Server owners can use it as a foundation for shops and security systems, and the economy system can be set up on a server without extra tooling. Dedicated ID and keycard slots are included for compatibility with other mods that use ID or access cards. The mod runs on NeoForge 1.21.1 only, and both the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
