Economy Plugin

💵 ECONOMY PLUGIN - CURSEFORGE FULL DESCRIPTION

Overview

Economy is the complete financial system for Hytale servers. Built on the Vault storage API, it provides server administrators and players with a robust, flexible economy featuring balance management, secure transactions, competitive leaderboards, and comprehensive admin controls.

🎯 What is Economy?

Economy turns your Hytale server into a thriving marketplace. Players earn, spend, and trade currency. Admins maintain control with powerful management tools. All data persists reliably through the Vault infrastructure.

Whether you're running a small survival server or a massive multiplayer economy, Economy scales with you.

✨ Core Features

💰 Player Balance Management

Every player automatically receives a starting balance upon joining your server. Check balances anytime with /balance. Admins can set, give, take, or reset balances instantly. Balances are persistent—players keep their money across sessions.

📊 Leaderboards & Rankings

View the richest players on your server with /baltop. Paginated leaderboards show top earners at a glance. See your rank compared to others. Competitive, motivating, and always up-to-date with intelligent caching.

💸 Player-to-Player Transactions

Players send money to each other with /pay. Simple, secure, and logged. Optional cooldowns prevent spam. Optional tax system supports server economic policies. Insufficient funds protection prevents debt.

⚙️ Admin Command Suite

Complete server management through /eco commands. Set exact balances for emergencies or testing. Give rewards to active players. Take currency as punishment for rule violations. Reset economies for seasonal resets. Reload configuration without restarting.

🔒 Permission System

Fine-grained control over who can access what. Players get basic balance checks by default. Admins get full command access. Customize permissions through your permission plugin. No access to commands you don't grant.

📈 Transaction Logging

Every transaction gets logged with timestamps and player names. Audit trail for disputes. Track economic trends. Optional detailed logging for investigating anomalies.

🎨 Customizable Currency

Change currency name, symbol, and number formatting. Use dollars, euros, coins, gems, or anything else. Display format is fully configurable. Colors and styling available.

⚡ Fully Asynchronous

No server lag from database operations. All balance checks, saves, and transactions happen off the main thread. Server stays responsive even during economy peaks.

🚀 High Performance

Intelligent balance caching reduces database queries. Leaderboard caching prevents recalculation on every request. Batch operations for admin commands. Configuration tuning for your server size.

🔄 Hot-Reload Configuration

🏆 Why Choose Economy?

Performance scales from 10 players to 10,000. Intelligent caching means leaderboards stay snappy. Async operations never block your server. Whether you're running vanilla survival or a complex economy server, Economy handles it.
