Lightman's Currency Tech
by Lightman
Lightman's Currency Tech extends Lightman's Currency with traders that buy and sell fluids and Forge Energy, plus network traders and upgrades for them.
What it does
The mod adds two in-person Fluid Traders, with one and four trades each, and four Fluid Network Traders with two, four, six and eight trades. Fluid trader capacity can be raised with four upgrades that add 10, 25, 100 and 200 buckets to the tank of every trade, and each fluid trader can hold up to five of them. The amounts are configurable, and the mod is said to work with all modded fluids.
An Energy Trader sells or purchases any Forge Energy compatible power, and its trades can be set from one to four. An Energy Network Trader works the same way over a network. Four energy capacity upgrades add 100k, 250k, 1M and 2M FE to what the energy traders can hold, also configurable. Fluid and Energy Trader Network Interface blocks allow remote restocking or purchasing from the network traders.
Lightman's Currency is required. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across seven release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.21.1, and the code is open source under the Apache License 2.0.

Mogrul Economy is server-side only and is published for 1.20.1 – 1.21.8 under a Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license that is not open source. Never Enough Currency 3 is also server-side only, is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.19.3 – 26.1.1. This mod instead needs both sides, since the client must run it too.
