World Border Shop
World Border Shop lets a server turn the world border into a points economy, where players earn points by doing actions and spend them on what the border allows.
What it does
Points are awarded for items, and the value of each item is set in a global.json file inside the wbshop folder of the config directory. By default, dying costs a player 10% of their points, and any item not listed is worth 1 point. Adjusting those values is done by editing the file in a plain text editor and restarting the game, since text editors often do not save automatically.
The mod runs on the server, so players join without installing anything. Its border behavior follows a fixed rate by default, and a function-based border can be defined with the exp4j expression library, using the functions and variables listed in the help command. The border block can be fought against, and the mod's commands print help when used incorrectly.
Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin are required, and fabric-permissions-api is bundled inside the mod. Files are published for Fabric only, across 15 release versions 1.17 – 26.3, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Item point values
Each item can be assigned a point value in global.json, so logs, dyes or other goods can earn different amounts.
Death penalty
Dying costs points, with 10% deducted by default, so the penalty can be tuned or kept as configured.
Expression-based border
The border movement can be written as a function using exp4j, with custom variables and mixed functions.
Crafting for points
Crafted blocks and items such as bone blocks, dye and bonemeal each carry a point value that can be earned in play.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners who want a points-based border economy on Fabric. The server side does all the work, so the mod suits servers that want players to join without an extra install.
How it compares
No Border is client and server and is available for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 26.2, under the BSD 2-Clause License, and it is not open source. Universal Shops is server-side only, open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and published for Fabric and Quilt in the 1.19.2 – 26.3 range. World Border Shop differs by running on Fabric alone, server-side only, under the MIT License.

What the author says
But! If you die, you lose some of your points - 10% by default. So try not to die. Dying is bad. The most useful commands are listed below. They'll print help if you use them incorrectly (or don't use the whole command)
