Meowth Economy
A lightweight and universal currency system designed for modpack creators.
💰 Core Mechanic
🐷 Meowth Piggy Bank
A configurable piggy bank item that can be broken to drop Lucky Coins.
When destroyed, it rolls based on weighted configuration values defined in the configuration file.
File location: config/meowth.json
🪙 Lucky Coin
Primary currency item used for:
- Custom shops
- Recipe costs
- Loot rewards
- Progression systems
⚙️ Configuration
Default meowth.json values:
{
"piggy_weights": [
{ "min": 3, "max": 5, "weight": 6 },
{ "min": 6, "max": 10, "weight": 5 },
{ "min": 11, "max": 15, "weight": 3 },
{ "min": 16, "max": 20, "weight": 2 },
{ "min": 21, "max": 25, "weight": 1 }
]
}
How it works:
- Each entry defines a drop range (min → max).
- Weight controls how likely that range is selected.
- Higher weight = more common.
This allows full control over early / mid / late game economy balance.
