Jack's Economy (Forked)
by SCsupercraft
Jack's Economy (Forked) gives a server a shared currency, automated buying and selling, and an item sink, with a custom GUI for setup.
What it does
The fork keeps the economy system of the original Jack's Economy mod and adds support for NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.1 alongside Forge on 1.20.1. Its currency modes include a default single item mode, where currency items are removed except one dollar bill, which makes the economy easier to read and suits packs that want currency to feel more physical. A texture pack can restyle the bill to look like a gold coin or another item.
Modpack authors and server owners can use it to build a server-wide admin shop, with currency machines for setting up that shop. Automated buying and selling work with RF power and Create rotational power, and Create Game Stages integration is optional. Setup uses a custom GUI editor instead of hand-editing text files. The mod is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with public links to its source code, issue tracker and wiki.
Key features

Single item currency mode

GUI-based configuration
Economy setup is done in a custom GUI editor rather than by editing text files.
