Core Mechanics
The fundamental mechanic of FTB Money is the Virtual Balance. Every player on the server is assigned a financial account that persists across sessions.
Currency Synchronization
Balances are stored on the server and synchronized with the client. This ensures that players always see their up-to-date balance in their inventory GUI. In the event of a player's death, the balance remains safe and does not drop as an item, although some older versions may require a quick relog to refresh the visual display if a synchronization error occurs.
Economic Flow
Money enters the economy through three primary channels:
1. Quest Rewards: Integrated via FTB Quests.
2. Admin Commands: Manual distribution by server operators.
3. Player Trading: Direct transfers between players using the /pay command.
Items, Blocks, and Mobs
As a utility and system-focused mod, FTB Money does not add traditional world content:
- Items: No physical items (like coins or wallets) are added. All currency is virtual.
- Blocks: No blocks (like ATMs or Shop Pedestals) are added. All interactions occur via GUI.
- Mobs: No new creatures or entities are introduced.
- Biomes/Dimensions: No world generation changes are made.
This design ensures maximum compatibility with other mods and prevents the need for complex item-id management in large modpacks.
