Factory Tycoon
by anobsmods
Factory Tycoon lets players found and run their own market companies, with structures that buy and sell items on a Forge server for Minecraft 1.20.1.
What it does
Players can create a tycoon, join one that already exists, manage its members and check its balance on a leaderboard. The economy is built around player-run market structures, which form tycoon groups that buy and sell items. Market structures generate in the world with a random type, and each type buys and sells a different set of items.
The mod targets economy and factory modpacks, and it is often paired with Create, Industrial Foregoing and Mekanism in automation-focused packs. Market customization is available. Factory Tycoon is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with 1.0.2 as the latest file from 2026-02-03. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, and the mod is not open source.

How it compares
Lightman's Currency Villager Tycoon Addon is a Forge addon for 1.20.1 that is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, so its scope is villager trading rather than player tycoons. Simple Market [UA] is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, runs on client and server and targets 1.20.1 on Forge, with a focus on a market system. AdvancedEco is not open source, is released under All rights reserved and is client required with an optional server, so only players on the client side need it.
