FunctionalEconomy
by luelue_01
Players who want a currency on their server can use FunctionalEconomy, a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that adds money, shops, automated stalls and bank blocks.
What it does
Money is created as one unified currency, and players can come by it through play, completed tasks and dealing with each other. Items in the game can be given a value, so trade follows a set of prices rather than informal agreements between players.
Player-driven shops are central to the mod. Automated stalls can be set up to sell items on their own, and their prices, stock and advertising are set by the owner. Players buy from them with in-game bank cards, and ATMs and bank blocks handle deposits and withdrawals. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with 2.0.3 as the latest file, released 2025-06-21. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Unified currency
Money is created as one shared currency, so every shop and transaction on the server uses the same units.
Automated stalls
Automated shops sell items on their own, and owners set prices, stock levels and advertising for each one.
Bank cards and ATMs
Players pay for items from other players with in-game bank cards, and deposit or withdraw funds at ATMs and bank blocks.
Earning money in play
Money comes from gameplay, quests and trading, so players can build up funds without a separate command.
