EconomyMachina

Your players are already doing the work. Pay them for it.

EconomyMachina turns everyday gameplay into a living economy. Mine a diamond, catch a fish, tame a horse, survive a creeper — every action has a chance to pay out. No commands to learn, no tasks to complete. Just play.

What It Does

Players earn coins automatically as they explore, build, fight, and craft. A clean action bar notification lets them know when they get paid — no chat spam, no popups. It feels like a natural part of the game, because it is.

Deaths cost coins. Player kills have a cooldown per victim. Mob farm abuse is blocked with randomized reward windows. Everything is tunable — or just use the defaults and go.

Features

• Coins for mining, fishing, crafting, enchanting, taming, combat, farming and more
• 30+ individual triggers — each with its own chance and optional cooldown
• Rewards shown in the action bar — subtle, non-intrusive
• Death penalty to add stakes
• Anti-abuse cooldowns on loopable actions (mob farms, vehicles, reconnects)
• Donor & rank bonuses — give VIPs a higher chance or bigger payouts, no config needed
• Hot reload — change the config and /em reload, no restart needed
• Works with any Vault economy — EssentialsX, CMI, and more

Setup

1. Install Vault and an economy plugin (EssentialsX recommended)
2. Drop EconomyMachina.jar into your plugins/ folder
3. Restart your server
4. Tweak config.yml to your liking
5. Run /em reload to apply changes live

Configuration

Every action has a chance (0–100%) and an optional cooldown. Low chance means rewards feel like a lucky drop. High chance means the action itself is the limiter. You control the pace.

blocksMined:
  DIAMOND_ORE:
    chance: 70.0
    reward: 1

combat:
  killMonster:
    reward: 1
    cooldown:
      min: 3
      max: 8

misc:
  fish:
    chance: 15.0
    reward: 1

The full config ships with comments on every section — no guessing.

Donor & Rank Bonuses

Give donators a better experience without touching the config. Just assign a permission node in LuckPerms (or any permissions plugin) and EconomyMachina handles the rest.

Chance bonus — increases the probability of earning on every action:

economymachina.bonus.chance.10   → +10% chance (Donor)
economymachina.bonus.chance.25   → +25% chance (Donor+)
economymachina.bonus.chance.50   → +50% chance (VIP)

Reward multiplier — increases how many coins are earned when a reward fires:

economymachina.bonus.multiplier.25   → 1.25x coins (Donor)
economymachina.bonus.multiplier.50   → 1.5x  coins (Donor+)
economymachina.bonus.multiplier.100  → 2x    coins (VIP)

Mix and match freely. If a player has multiple nodes (e.g. from overlapping rank groups), the highest value always wins — no stacking abuse.
