MonsterCore (Fabric)
by Goetic
MonsterCore is a Fabric economy mod in which mob drops become collectible cores that players trade in place of diamonds and netherite.
What it does
Cores are dropped by mobs and can be fused in a Fusion Furnace, which has internal storage. Each core carries a rank and a quality that set its value, so players who specialize in particular cores can trade them for other goods. Fusion carries a risk and a reward, and a wallet system handles core management automatically.
The mod is built for survival servers and multiplayer worlds where players want an economy based on farming rather than diamond or netherite currency. Most settings can be adjusted in the configuration, and addons that extend the system are encouraged. The mod is compatible with modpacks.
Installation needs Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin. MonsterCore runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11, and the latest file is 1.0.1 from 2026-01-27. The code is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later.
Key features
Collectible mob cores

Core fusion with risk
Fusion combines cores in a Fusion Furnace, with a chance of loss balanced against a higher-value result.
Automatic wallet
The wallet system tracks a player's cores and manages them without manual sorting.
Configurable behavior
