Lightman's Currency:Claim Economy

Lightman's Currency: Claim Economy turns land claiming into a real economy, powered by Lightman's Currency bank accounts. Claiming costs money, protection costs upkeep, and — on the full backend — teams can go to war, place bounties, trade claimed land, and race for a one-time "first claim" bonus.

Environment: required on both client and server. Minecraft: 1.21.1 · Loader: NeoForge

Also available on CurseForge. Full docs on the wiki.

Two claim backends

Pick whichever claim mod you already use — if both are installed, FTB takes over.

Requirements

Lightman's Currency must match exactly; the claim backends just need to meet the minimum. Wrong or missing version → the mod logs exactly what's wrong and refuses to load.

Features

• Paid, refundable claiming — configurable price, partial refund on unclaim, a free allowance before either kicks in.
• Build vs. Land chunks — territory (Land) bills upkeep per group of chunks instead of per chunk, for fewer available protections.
• Protection upkeep — PvP, explosions, mob griefing, and block/entity interact protection are paid, periodic, and independently priced, with an auto-drop/auto-restore cycle if you can't pay.
• Wars (FTB) — declare war to raise a rival's upkeep, with optional siege mode, a scheduled declaration window, and safeguards keeping small teams out.
• Bounties (FTB) — escrow money on a player's or team's head, collectible in PvP.
• Player marketplace (FTB) — list, browse, and buy claimed chunks from other players.
• Bank Dashboard — an in-game balance/upkeep screen with transaction history, on either backend, opened anywhere with B.
• Optional web leaderboard + dashboard — a public read-only leaderboard, plus (FTB) a login-gated browser dashboard for managing land, protections, and wars.
• Pioneer Bonus & claim milestones (FTB) — a one-time reward for the server's first claim, plus advancement milestones usable as FTB Quests hooks with no FTB Quests dependency.

FAQ

Won't load / version error? The error names exactly which companion mod and version is wrong — see Requirements above.

Both FTB Chunks and OP&C installed? Only the FTB integration runs the economy features (wars, bounties, marketplace, Pioneer Bonus, per-chunk permissions).

Is the web leaderboard safe to leave on? It's read-only but unauthenticated — anyone reaching the port sees player names, balances, and chunk counts. Keep it firewalled/local-only unless you want it public.
