Nelson Economy
by Bugsy
Nelson Economy adds a currency system built on Spud's Shops, with wallets, point blocks and a boss fight for Forge on 1.20.1.
What it does
Players hold Nelson Points in a Nelson Wallet, crafted from its recipe, and can withdraw points from the wallet when needed. Nelson Point Blocks and Premium Nelson Point Blocks are crafted from their own recipes and store points as physical items. A Nelson Pumpkin Cheesecake recipe is included as a food item. Spud's Shops is required, and the economy shop example is built with it.
The mod adds Nelson, a boss with two phases: the second phase begins at half health and he grows more aggressive over the fight. Defeating him yields two special items. Nelson's Green Tea, a Nelson's Boss Theme music disc and a portal frame made from Nelson's Green Tea open the Nelson Dimension, a wasteland filled with Nelson's coarse dirt, brown mushrooms and Nelson blocks. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Forge on 1.20.1 only, as 1.0.0, released 2026-08-14 under All rights reserved, so the license is not open source.
