Consumer Service
by CacahueteDev
Consumer Service adds bank accounts, shops and a currency system to Minecraft Forge, for players who want an economy on a 1.16.5 world or server.
What it does
An ATM block handles the currency: players deposit and withdraw money, rename their account and send money to another account. Shops spawn at random positions in the world, and a checkout machine called the Automated Cash Machine lets players buy items from them. Shop goods and the currency are kept in the mod's own bank accounts rather than in vanilla items alone.
Packaging is handled by a Packager block, which wraps an item into a package and lets a seller set the price for the order. The mod is built for multiplayer, so the shops and accounts work the same way on a server as in single-player. Consumer Service runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Files exist for Forge only, for game version 1.16.5, and the latest file is 2.3, published 2023-08-08 under the MIT License. The code is open source, and public source code and an issue tracker are linked from the project.

Who it’s for: Server owners and players who want a trade economy on a Forge 1.16.5 world, where shops and bank accounts add a money system to vanilla gameplay.
How it compares
eCon is an open source Forge mod for 1.16.5, released under the MIT License and also run on client and server, so it is a close match on loader, version and licensing. MineFarms covers 1.16.5 on Forge under the AFL-3.0 license and is not open source. Admin Shop is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, but targets the older 1.12.2 version, so it does not share the 1.16.5 build of Consumer Service.
