Yes, the mod supports any item as currency. When setting up a trade, simply choose whatever item you want customers to pay with—diamonds, gold ingots, custom items, or anything else in your inventory.

By default you get one trade slot, but each Emerald Block upgrade adds an extra trade slot, allowing up to 8 total trades per counter. Insert emerald blocks into the Upgrades tab to unlock additional slots.
