Total Economy
A modular economy plugin for Minecraft.
A large overhaul is currently in the works. The
1.0.0-alpharelease is the first release in a complete rewrite with a temporary slimmed-down feature set. Additional modules (jobs, shops, achievements, web UI, and more) will be released as separate add-on plugins that extend Total Economy.
Overview
Total Economy is a Minecraft plugin that provides a full-fledged economy for your server. Rather than packing every feature into a single plugin with toggles, Total Economy takes a modular approach: a lightweight core handles the essentials, and additional features are added as separate plugins that hook into the core API. Install only what your server needs, and skip what it doesn't.
Features
- Multi-Currency Support - Define multiple currencies with configurable starting balances
- Player Accounts - Automatic player account creation for each currency (currently only creates the default currency account)
- Money Transfers - Send and receive payments between players in any currency
- Extensible API - Build custom add-on plugins that extend core functionality
- Vault Integration - Full Vault API implementation for compatibility with many plugins
Planned Add-Ons
Additional features are being developed as separate plugins that extend the core Total Economy plugin:
| Add-On | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Jobs | Planned | Assign roles to players with configurable rewards for in-game actions |
| Shops | Planned | Buy and sell items through player-run or server-controlled shops |
| Achievements | Planned | Economy-linked achievement tracking with milestone rewards |
| Web UI | Planned | Browser-based dashboard for managing data and viewing analytics |
