Omega-Chips
With Omega-Chips installed, players can trade coins for ores and back, turning a small set of currency into a working server economy.
What it does
The mod adds coins that can be exchanged for other coins in a fixed grid: nine copper coins make one iron coin, nine iron make one gold, and nine gold make one diamond. The exchange also runs in reverse, and four coins convert to one block and one block back to four coins. Coins themselves have no use until a server adds one, so they suit modpacks and SMP servers that define their own economy around them.
Installation needs both sides, since the environment is client and server. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 10 release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.20.1, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. The latest Fabric file is 2.0.1 for 1.19.4, while Forge and NeoForge both have 2.0.1 for 1.20.1, all dated 2023-09-19.
Key features
Tiered coin exchange
Copper, iron, gold and diamond coins convert at a fixed ratio of nine to one between adjacent tiers.
Two-way conversion
Coins can be exchanged upward into a higher tier or broken back down into lower tiers.
Block conversion
Four coins convert to one block, and one block converts back to four coins, following the same grid.
Server economy base
Coins serve as a currency that server owners can build an economy around, with no fixed use defined by the mod.

Who it’s for: Server owners and modpack authors who want a shared currency with a clear conversion grid. Players on those servers exchange coins through the same tiers.

What the author says
It adds coins that you can exchange for other coins to act as a server economy. These coins aren't used for anything by themself, you'll have to be the one to make them useful.
