EcoBal Economy API
EcoBal Economy API is a Fabric library that keeps player balances on a server, so other mods can read and change them through one shared layer.
What it does
EcoBal works as a standalone, server-side economy core. It manages player balances, persists them between sessions, provides administrative commands and formats in-game messages through configurable options. Balances are stored under internal balance names that EcoBal maintains and saves, and other mods reach them through a defined set of methods rather than direct field access.
Fabric API is required. LuckPerms is an optional dependency. Two catalog mods depend on EcoBal: ShopShelves and EcoMobs. The API Integration Guide describes how other mods connect to the economy layer. Either side can run EcoBal, and neither side needs it, so a server can host it while players join without installing anything.

Key features
Central balance manager
Player balances are kept by one manager object, which other mods query instead of storing their own currency values.
Persistent balances
Balances are saved to disk so they survive server restarts, with each player's value tracked under an internal balance name.
Administrative commands
Server operators can view and adjust balances with commands, which suits manual corrections and event rewards.
Configurable messages
In-game messages about balance changes use formatting that server owners can change in the configuration.
