Coins
by Coins
Coins brings metal and mineral coin items into the game, one for each ore type, along with crafting recipes and language files.
What it does
Coins adds a set of currency items to Minecraft, one coin for each of several ore or material types: coal, copper, deepslate, diamond, emerald, gold, iron and lapis lazuli. Each coin is a separate item that players can hold and use in the game's economy-related play. The mod is a Fabric mod and runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it installed.
The coin items come with crafting recipes, so players can make them from the materials they already gather. Language support is included as well, meaning the item names are provided in translation files for other languages. The project is open source under the MIT License, and its source code is public. Builds exist for five release versions, and the latest file is 0.1.0 for 1.20.4, published in February 2024.
Key features
Eight coin types
Coal, copper, deepslate, diamond, emerald, gold, iron and lapis lazuli each have a matching coin item.
Crafting recipes
Each coin can be crafted from its material, so players can make coins without commands or external tools.
Language support
Item names are provided in translation files, so the coins display in the language selected by the player.
Metal and mineral set
