StrideMerchant
StrideMerchant lets players earn credits by walking through the world and spend them at a medieval merchant shop for blocks, resources, tools and other useful items.
What it does
Credits accumulate as a player explores on foot, and the medieval merchant sells items in return. Purchases move a player through several store tiers, and each player keeps a persistent profile that records progress over time. An in-game journal shows lifetime totals, so the progression is visible without leaving the game.
Purchases and tier advances are validated on the server, which keeps multiplayer sessions consistent. Each profile is stored under the player's UUID, and older save data is migrated automatically when the mod loads. The merchant catalog is defined in JSON, which leaves room for later additions. Files are published for Fabric only, with Fabric API required as a dependency. The environment is client and server, so both the server and every player need the mod, and the code is under All rights reserved, which means the mod is not open source.
Two game versions have files: 26.2 and 26.3, with 1.1.1 for 26.3 as the latest Fabric build, released on 2026-09-17. The first release was published on 2026-06-28.
