Loose Change

🪙 Loose Change

Villager trades that cost currency now work on total value, and you get change back.

In vanilla, a trade priced at 48 spurs won’t take a single crown, even though a crown is worth ten times as much. Loose Change fixes that.

What it does

• Pay with any mix of coins. The trade goes through as long as what you put in is worth enough.
• Get change back. Overpay and the difference comes back as coins, largest denomination first.
• Smart auto-fill. Clicking a trade fills the payment slots with the smallest handful of coins that covers it, not your whole purse.
• Everything else stays vanilla. Trades that cost normal goods, and the goods half of a “goods + coins” trade, work exactly as before.

Works with

• Create: Numismatics out of the box: spur, bevel, sprocket, cog, crown and sun.
• Any other currency mod: add its coins to the config with one line each.
• Standalone: if no listed coin is installed, the mod simply does nothing.

Config

config/loosechange-common.toml

coinValues = [
  "numismatics:spur=1",
  "numismatics:bevel=8",
  "numismatics:sprocket=16",
  "numismatics:cog=64",
  "numismatics:crown=512",
  "numismatics:sun=4096"
]

Format is namespace:item=value. Values are whole numbers (1 to 1,000,000). Items that aren’t installed are ignored.

Notes

• Required on both client and server.
• NeoForge 1.21.1.
• Made for the Marshlight Horizons modpack, and free for anyone to use in their own packs.
