Simple Nether Currency
by MrBenchGamin
Simple Nether Currency lets players carry Nether star fragments in a wallet item, so a stash of currency takes up one inventory slot.
What it does
The mod adds two items: a wallet and the Nether star fragment. A wallet is crafted from five leather, one gold ingot and one string. Fragments are made from a single Nether star placed in a slot, which returns four fragments, and four fragments placed in a 2x2 grid return the Nether star. Holding a wallet in the main hand, a player can deposit available Nether star items or fragments into it, and shift-clicking retrieves up to 64 fragments at a time, while a shift-punch retrieves up to 64 Nether star items.
The wallet shows its contents in a tooltip when hovered in the inventory, so a player can read the balance without opening anything. The V key toggles the controls used by the wallet. Simple Nether Currency is a Fabric mod, published for 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.
Key features
Nether star wallet
A wallet item holds Nether star items and fragments, so a player carries one item instead of a full stack.
Deposit and retrieve
Holding the wallet in the main hand lets a player deposit available items, then retrieve up to 64 fragments or Nether star items at once.
Fragment crafting
A single Nether star converts into four fragments, and four fragments in a 2x2 grid give the Nether star back.
Wallet tooltip
The wallet displays its contents in a tooltip, so the balance is visible without opening a screen.
