Equivalent Exchange 26
by Water_Wind_
Equivalent Exchange 26 adds an EMC currency and a set of alchemy tools for Fabric, where items are converted into energy and back again.
What it does
Players transmute items into EMC, the mod's energy-matter currency, and use that EMC to craft or turn learned items back into materials. Each item has a craftable EMC value, so the economy follows what a world's players build and gather. Burning an item in the Transmutation Table returns 95% of its value as EMC, and a 5% burn tax applies. Once an item has been burned, it can be transmuted back later.
Energy collectors passively generate 1 EMC per second per level once they have clear sky access, and the owner receives EMC even while offline, credited at login and capped at 24 hours. A rich tax lowers passive income as the balance grows: players keep 100% below 100k, then 90% from 100k, 85% from 500k, 70% from 1M, 50% from 20M, and 10% from 100M. Pools can be shared with friends, so several players draw on one balance.
Equivalent Exchange 26 is a Fabric mod for 26.2 and 26.3. It is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Snapshot builds are not mentioned in the release listing.
Key features
Transmutation Table
The table burns items into EMC and transmutes learned items back, with single-click and shift-click amounts for batches of up to 64.
Energy collectors
Collectors stack up to 100 and generate EMC passively, with the rich tax applied to the owner's balance.
Shadow Caster Bow
A bow whose arrows curve toward mobs within 16 blocks, costing 14 EMC per shot, with hold-to-autofire at 0.8 seconds and support for Power and Flame enchantments.
Alchemical Bags
Portable storage with 72 slots in 16 colors, recolorable with dye for sorting.
Portable transmutation
A tablet works as a portable transmutation table, so EMC can be spent away from a fixed block.
