Did you pay your taxes?
by Ultramega
Did you pay your taxes? adds a tax system to Minecraft, charging players fees on mining, smelting and villager trades that rise until they are paid.
What it does
Mining, smelting and trading each carry a fee in this NeoForge mod. Mined ores send a small share of their value to the game, furnace smelting takes a cut of each item, and emerald transactions with villagers include a minor surcharge. The tax rate on trades climbs by 1 percent every 30 days up to a maximum of 42 percent, so unpaid balances grow more pressing over time.
Unpaid taxes bring in the In-Game Revenue Service, which sends agents to remind players. A missed payment strengthens the IRS and raises difficulty over time, and the penalties are carried out through progressively stronger mobs. Tax screens open with Ctrl + T. The mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it, and it is released under the MIT License as open source. Files target 1.21 and 1.21.1 for NeoForge.
