Simple Economy
by legenden
Simple Economy gives a server a shared in-game currency, with balances, transfers and admin tools for managing them.
What it does
Server owners who want a basic currency system can install Simple Economy on the server. Players check their balances and make transactions through a simple interface, while admins manage player balances and inspect transaction history with commands. The mod is built to stay lightweight and keep its overhead low on a busy server.
Initial account balances and daily login rewards are set in the configuration. The mod supports Tender natively, so servers using Tender can connect the two without an extra bridge. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, both for 1.21.1 only, and the code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
Players join without it, since only the server has to run the mod. Latest builds, version 1.0.1, date from 2026-07-26, and the project keeps public links to its source code, issue tracker and wiki.
Key features
Player balance interface
Players open a simple interface to check their balance and send money to other players.
Admin balance commands
Admins can set, add or remove player balances and view the transaction history with commands.
Transaction logs
Every transaction is recorded so admins can trace what happened to a given account.
Configurable starting funds
The starting balance for new accounts and the daily login reward are both set in the configuration.
Tender support
Tender is supported natively, so servers that already use it can work with the economy directly.
