Meowth Economy
by trandaiquoc
Meowth Economy adds a lightweight universal currency for modpack creators, with a primary currency item, shops and loot-based rewards.
What it does
The primary currency item is the basis of the economy: players earn it through gameplay, spend it at custom shops and use it as a cost in recipes. Loot rewards and progression systems are built on the same currency, so one value system covers early, mid and late game balance. Pack authors can tune the values to suit their own progression.
Currency drops come from a piggy bank item that breaks into Lucky Coins. The amount a destroyed piggy bank yields is picked from weighted ranges set in the configuration file, where each entry has a minimum and a maximum and a higher weight makes that range more common. Loot Table Modifier, an optional dependency, lets authors attach these rewards to existing loot tables. Meowth Economy runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.21.1 and is set up as client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published under a custom license and is not open source.
The mod suits modpack creators who want a simple currency without a full economy framework, including Cobblemon and similar Pokémon packs, where Cobblemon is an optional dependency. Champion coin ideas from fantasy series inspired the coin design.
