GabCraft19's Ancient Currency
by GabCraft19
GabCraft19's Ancient Currency adds Roman-style coins and a historical exchange system to Fabric worlds, with files for 1.20 and later builds through 1.20.6.
What it does
The mod brings ancient trade into a Minecraft world, with coins modeled on the Roman denarius that carry their own textures and crafting recipes. Players can use them for trading, crafting and decoration, which lets a server recreate historical markets or a single player build a marketplace for roleplay.
Currencies can be converted into one another at exchange rates the author based on historical conversion figures, and the mod works alongside other trade systems and custom trading setups. Client and server both run it, so the server and every player need the mod. The code is under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source. Fabric API must be installed alongside it to run.
