Mob Money

Mob Money

A simple, configurable Fabric mod that awards players money for killing mobs. Built to demonstrate integration with the Common Economy API.

Features

• Earn Money: Get paid for hunting down hostile mobs.
• Configurable:
  • Set custom rewards per mob type (e.g., Zombies, Creepers, Ender Dragon).

• Common Economy API: Works with any economy mod that implements the Common Economy API.

Installation

2. Install an economy mod that supports the Common Economy API (e.g., Savs Common Economy).
3. Drop the .jar into your mods folder.

Troubleshooting

If you are not receiving money:

1. Check the server console/logs for messages starting with [mob-money].
2. Ensure you have an economy mod installed.
3. Verify that economyProvider and currencyId in the config match the provider you are using.
   • For Savs Common Economy: Provider savs_common_economy, Currency dollar.
   • For Fuji: Provider fuji, Currency gold (or whatever is configured).
