MCM (MCMoney)
by 408BK
MCM, short for MCMoney, brings a physical cash currency to NeoForge worlds for 1.21.1, with items that players earn, spend and trade by hand.
What it does
Currency in MCM is made of physical items rather than balances stored in a bank menu. Coins and notes can be carried, dropped, traded between players or hoarded, and they leave the economy as soon as they are handed over. The design sticks close to vanilla items, so there is no separate banking screen to learn.
Four real-world currencies are included, along with regional currencies that can be assigned to different towns or factions. Shops, markets and server-wide trade use the same items, and player salaries, bounties and jobs pay out in them. Rent systems can charge for claimed land, and borders between nations can be set up so that a city council or a small village shop has its own money.
The mod is built for roleplay servers, where it adds economic activity without a heavy economic system. Paying another player in cobblestone or other physical items is supported as well. MCM runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, with 1.0.5 as the latest file from 2026-08-22, released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
