Fair Trade
by Ali107
Fair Trade is a Forge and NeoForge economy mod that adds currency items, a Currency Printer block and a Vending Machine for player-run shops.
What it does
The mod adds currencies and trade utilities aimed at multiplayer servers, though it also works in single-player. A Currency Printer block produces currency from a Currency Template material and a redstone pulse, and players can craft currency directly to print money by hand. A Money Counter adds, subtracts and multiplies amounts across currencies, keeps a running total of the value it has counted, and clears that total when it is reset or broken.
Players can stock a Vending Machine with items and set the currency each item sells for. The machine can be password protected so that its owner gives things away for free to whoever they choose. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
