Coupons
by ShyNieke
Coupons adds paper coupon items that each change one everyday interaction, such as crafting, smelting, trading, brewing, looting or gaining experience.
What it does
Each coupon is a single-use item that applies one effect when it is used. The Crafting Coupon returns the items that were consumed in an inventory crafting recipe, unless the crafting happens inside a container. The Furnace Coupon smelts one item for free. The Potion Coupon replaces a water bottle in a brewing stand, granting one free brew choice.
The Villager Coupon makes a villager's trades cheaper for a short time, the Loot Coupon doubles the loot dropped by the mob it is applied to, and the Experience Coupon grants one free experience level. Loot doubling is skipped for mobs on the blacklist and for bosses, and a configuration option can disable it entirely. Coupons can also be obtained by trading with Wandering Traders, and that source can be turned off in the config.
Coupons runs on Forge and NeoForge and is published for 26 release versions, 1.16.3 – 26.3. Both sides need the mod, so the server and every player install it. The code is open source under the MIT License.
