Minerals Coins
by K0nanVarvar
Minerals Coins adds one coin item for each mineral, so Forge servers can use coins as a currency tied to vanilla ore drops.
What it does
Each coin is crafted from a single vanilla material: Copper Ingot, Coal, Redstone Dust, Lapis Lazuli, Quartz, Gold Ingot, Emerald, Amethyst Shard, Diamond and Netherite Scrap. The recipe for each coin uses its own mineral, so a player turns the material they collected into a coin of matching value.
The mod is meant for servers that treat vanilla minerals as money, and its coin set follows the same mineral list that such servers use. Players need it installed to hold and trade the coins, and the server needs it to recognize them. Minerals Coins is for Forge 1.20.1 only, with the latest file 1.0.2 for 1.20.1, released on 2025-05-30.
The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, so the code and assets are not available for reuse. The files were first published on 2025-05-29 and last updated the following day.
Key features
Ten mineral coins
Coins are made for Copper, Coal, Redstone, Lapis Lazuli, Quartz, Gold, Emerald, Amethyst, Diamond and Netherite Scrap.
Crafted from raw materials
Each coin is crafted from its matching vanilla material, so no separate currency mining step is required.
Coin value per mineral
A recipe gives 2 coins per mineral, matching the example set used on servers that already trade vanilla minerals.
Decorative item set
Each coin is a standalone item with its own texture, so the set can also be used as a visible collection on a server.

Use cases
Server economy
A server owner can use the coin set as a currency that players earn by mining and trade for goods.
Who it’s for: The mod suits Forge 1.20.1 servers that want a mineral-based currency and players who join those servers. Single-player worlds can use it, but the coin set is most useful when several players trade.
How it compares
JustCoins runs on Forge 1.20.1 in a client and server environment and is released under the MIT License, so it covers a broader coin system. Another coins mod uses the same environment and loader under All rights reserved. MyMoney is client-side only and released under the MIT License, so only the client needs it, unlike Minerals Coins, which requires both sides.
