As we all know Fun Server 3.0 is just around the corner, so i thought i'd try do something i'v been planning for a while: A dynamic, physical currency plugin that would allow players to mint their own currencies. Pitched the idea to BH, got the ok and after a week and a bit of coding for 3 hours a day to get it finished and polished before i left, it's done!

But, as i mentioned, i'm leaving for a few weeks and won't be around for the launch, so to try and make the whole thing less confusing for both players and admins once the server's up, i'll try explain the basics here.

^{I'm going to try and explain how it works now, chances are i'll fail horribly.}

The basics

There are 4 base currencies, which are also basic minecraft resources: Iron, Gold, Diamonds and Emeralds. None of them have a set value, nor are any of them the base currency. No, the value of each currency is determined by a bunch of math and statistics. And while it is most probable that iron will end up as the base currency, it is entirely plausible for gold or even emeralds to become the base currency at some point. Because of this, one day you precious diamonds might be able to buy you a whole beacons worth of iron, and the next they might barely get you enough for the bottom layer because some nerd bought out all the iron.

tl;dr: supply and demand determine the worth of everything.

Minted currencies, you say?

Yes, with this plugin, mods/admins have the ability to add up to 5 "minted currencies". Minted currencies can be any item the mods allow, with any name of any color (as long as it doesn't have spaces), and the only ones able to create more of it are the players set in charge of it (set by the mod/admin that created it). So, yes, you can have "Salt"(in pink) as a currency, and yes, you can mint 2000 of it to pay the dept you made by betting against Jam in a PvP duel, tho it will probably make it worth way less then it was before.

tl;dr: you can make any currency as long as the material isn't something like nether stars because we don't want people basically printing beacons.

But, like, how, where?

Admins will have the ability to put down "bankers", basically chests that will open a bank ui for exchanges and checking prices. and minting will be doable anywhere, as long as you have the required currencies.

There is more to it, but you'll get all that in game though a bunch of commands and a mini wiki i included, this was really just supposed to be a overview of it.

And, i know, this isn't silver and gold coins (although you can make those if you want), but do give it a shot, if things don't work out at the start i can try fix it through some commands, and if that fails BH'll just remove it.
