SimplyCoins
by pbone64
SimplyCoins, a Utility mod by pbone64, adds coins as an in-game currency for shops and trades on 1.16.5.
What it does
Players earn and spend coins through the items the mod adds. A coin is a physical item that can be carried, stored and handed to other players, so a server can build an economy around it without a separate plugin or command system. The coins work with the shop block the mod includes, which lets a player set up a stall that sells items for coins.
The mod is published for Fabric and Forge, both targeting 1.16.5, and one source tree builds both. Its Fabric build needs Fabric API, which the Forge build does not use. Client and server share the same version, and both the server and every player need the mod installed. The developer has said that support for later releases is not planned.
The project is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. The first release, version 1.0.0, was published on 2021-09-19 and has not been updated since.

What the author says
Note: At the moment, 1.17 support isn't planned. While I love 1.17 and it could be ported easily, SimplyCoins is made for a 1.16.5 modpack I'm working on.
