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.

NeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21 – 1.21.1

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.

Key features
