Item Alchemy
Item Alchemy brings an EMC value system in the style of Project E to Fabric, letting players trade items for EMC and back.
What it does
The Alchemy Table converts items into EMC and turns stored EMC back into items. The Alchemy Pad offers the same conversion in a handheld form, so a player can work without a fixed block. The Philosopher's Stone exchanges blocks at equal value, which covers the mod's equivalent exchange of blocks.
Installation needs Fabric API and MCPitanLib, which must be placed next to Item Alchemy. The mod runs on Fabric only, and both the server and every player need it. Builds cover 1.17 – 26.3, with 1.4.1 for 26.3 as the latest Fabric file, released under the MIT License as open source. The author states the mod is still under development.
Key features
Item to EMC conversion
The Alchemy Table takes items and records their EMC value, which can later be used to produce other items.
EMC to item conversion
Stored EMC can be spent at the Alchemy Table to produce items that have a recorded value.
Handheld Alchemy Pad
The Alchemy Pad carries the table's conversion into a portable item that works without placing a block.
Block equivalent exchange
The Philosopher's Stone exchanges blocks at equivalent value, so block materials can be traded for one another.

Use cases
Item trading on a server
Server owners who want a shared value economy can run the table for every player, since the mod requires installation on both sides.
Who it’s for: Players who want an equivalent exchange system for Fabric and server owners who want to offer item conversion to their community. Players who expect a finished release should note that the author describes the mod as still in development.

What the author says
Add EMC like ProjectE and transform items in "Alchemy Table". In "Philosopher's Stone" you can exchange blocks equivalently.
