Summary:
Pocket Money is a small mod for Forge, available on Minecraft 1.19.2, made to be used by server admins who want to add an economy to their worlds. It adds five coins and six Advancements related to collecting them. There are two versions of the mod (one with mob drops, one without) and there is no way to craft the coins except to go up/down denominations, to help keep players from breaking your economy (most mobs only drop 1 copper coin rarely, details further down the page)
The Coins:
The mod adds three coin tiers; Copper, Silver, & Gold, plus additional coins for use as seperate tokens (on our server we use them as event currencies that players win to get unique items) called the Platinum Token, and the Snow Token (added in v1.04 for Xmas Events).
Recipes:
- 9 Copper Coins = 1 Silver Coin
- 1 Silver Coin = 9 Copper Coins
- 9 Silver Coins = 1 Gold Coin
- 1 Gold Coin = 9 Silver Coins
Advancements:
- "It Makes Perfect Cents!" - Obtain your first Copper Coin
- "Silver Linings" - Obtain your first Silver Coin
- "Midas Touch" - Obtain your first Gold Coin
- "Gee, thanks a Bullion!" - Obtain a full stack of 64 Gold Coins
- "Token of Appreciation" - Obtain your first Platinum Token
- "Cold Hard Cash" - Obtain your first Snow Token
Mod Editions:
There are two versions of the mod, one with mob drops and one without. Please make sure you are downloading the correct edition for what you want on your server. The latest uploaded is the version with mob drops enabled. The no-drops version can be found under Files, and is clearly named.
How to Obtain:
- with mob drops, you will see zombies, husks, skeletons, strays, pillagers, and piglins occasionally drop the coins alongside most of their usual loot
- Zombies, Husks, Skeletons, Strays, and Pillagers rarely drop just one Copper coin.
- Zombified Piglins rarely drop one copper coin, and have an even rarer chance to drop one Silver coin
(note that the 1.18.2 version also disables Wither Skulls dropping from Wither Skeletons due to loot pool edits, to help avoid greifing by player's making the Wither, and as a result makes the Nether Star unobtainable in standard gameplay. This was removed in the 1.19.2 edition onwards as there are other neater methods to remove the Wither - eg. /tp into the void)
- without mob drops, the coins are unobtainable in survival, and are designed for server moderators who want to have full-control of how their players gain currency. This version makes no edits to vanilla mob drops what-so-ever.
