Duck Bills, craftable money
Duck Bills is a Forge economy mod that adds craftable paper money, from 5 Cents up to 500 Dollars, so players can build their own currency in survival.
What it does
Money in the mod is built from simple recipes, with nine bill values running from small change up to large notes. Players can carry crafted bills in a wallet item, which keeps stacks of cash out of the main inventory. The author describes the goal as simulating an economy with friends, with trading and roleplay in mind.
The server is required and clients may leave the mod out. The version listed is 1.20.1 only, on Forge, and the latest file is 0.2.0 for 1.20.1, released 2025-05-07 on the beta channel. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source. The author notes that the mod exists because no existing option let them craft their own currency, and the author lists a cheat-style command in the requirements, which is a sign that commands are part of how the money is handled.

How it compares
RP Money and this mod both run on Forge for 1.20.1 and both need the server and clients, with RP Money under the MIT License and open to reuse. Currenotes also runs on Forge for 1.20.1 with client and server, but it is all rights reserved, the same as this mod. Creeper Dollars covers 1.12.2 – 1.19.4 and is server-side only, so players join without installing it, while this mod needs the server only.
