Oak and Ember Economy
by axle12693
Oak and Ember Economy adds a wallet, an auction house and player chest shops to Fabric servers, and money is earned by killing mobs.
What it does
Every player keeps a balance in a wallet. Combat pays into it: each mob defeated adds money, and the amount per kill is set in a config file in the config folder, which appears after the server has run once. Players can spend the balance in the auction house, where items already for sale can be bought at the listed price.
Players can also list their own items for sale, either at a fixed price or through bidding. A chest shop feature lets a player run a shop from a chest. The server and every player need the mod installed. It targets Fabric only, and it is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.
Key features
Mob kill rewards
Defeating mobs pays money into the player's wallet, so combat earns a balance that can be spent.

Each player has a balance that the auction house and shops draw on.
Auction house
Players can view and buy items already for sale, and list their own items at a set price or by bidding.
Chest shops
A player can set up a shop attached to a chest, selling items without running the auction house.

Player-run shops
Players who want to sell their own goods can open a chest shop instead of relying on the auction house.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want a shared currency and trading system on a Fabric server. The mod suits communities that plan to add more mods around it, since the author expects a wider ecosystem of related mods.

What the author says
After running the server once, you should find a config folder where you can change the rewards for mob kills. In the future, you'll want this one because I will be focusing on: - Having updates out quickly - A large ecosystem of related mods - Interoperability with other unrelated mods
