Equivalent Exchange
Equivalent Exchange, a Forge mod for Minecraft Java Edition, lets players transmute materials into other materials by trading value between items.
What it does
Equivalent Exchange is an economy and magic mod for Minecraft Java Edition, built on Forge and ModLoader. Its central mechanic is transmutation: items are converted into other items, so materials gathered in the world can be turned into the ones a player needs. The author notes describe the mod as adding a large amount of endgame-style content and a sandbox feel to the game.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Its files cover five release versions, b1.6.6 – 1.1, with 6.22 for 1.1 as the latest Forge and ModLoader build, published on 2023-05-31. The mod was first published on 2022-06-01 and was last updated on the same date as that latest build. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Originally made in June 2011 by x3n0ph0b3, the mod was placed on Modrinth through the ModrinthArchives account with the creator's consent, so it can be kept on record. Snapshot builds are published for it, and a wiki is available.
