Vexuwe's Currency
by vexuwe
Vexuwe's Currency adds bronze, silver and gold coins that players earn from loot chests, mobs and trading rewards, with a coin pouch for storing and paying with them.
What it does
Coins are a new in-game currency in three tiers. Bronze, silver and gold coins are found in loot chests across the world and dropped by mobs when they are defeated. Twenty bronze coins make one silver coin, and twenty silver coins make one gold coin, so higher tiers act as a larger denomination. The amount a player receives is calculated from several gameplay factors, including the world difficulty setting and the current moon phase.
Coins can be used directly for trading with villagers. The Coins Bundle is a storage item that holds an unlimited number of collected coins, and when a trade is made the bundle pays out the exact amount and returns change automatically. Coin values and exchange rates are set in configuration files, where each entry such as minecraft:chests/spawn_bonus_chest controls how coins are granted. The mod requires MixinBooter and is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.12.2, with the 1.0 file released on 2026-07-08 under the MIT License and open source.
