Pricing and distribution
The plugin is distributed as a free option. Check the official page for the current download source and license.
What to check before using it
- No special warning beyond the normal rule: verify the current official documentation and test on a backup/staging server before production.
Also check the plugin's current dependency list, migration notes and supported server versions on the official page before changing a production server.
Practical deployment check: CoinsEngine offers named custom currencies; a custom balance is not necessarily the same as the primary Vault economy. Check what each shop or quest integration expects.
Common questions
What does CoinsEngine do?
Custom currency engine for servers that want multiple named balances beyond a normal Vault economy.
Is CoinsEngine a plugin or a mod?
CoinsEngine is listed here because it is used as a server plugin in its supported plugin environment. Some projects also publish builds for other platforms; use the official download page to choose the correct platform build.
Do players need to install it?
Most server plugins run server-side and do not require players to install the same JAR. Features that rely on resource packs, Bedrock bridges or optional client integrations can still change what the player must download or accept.
How do I install it?
Install the matching CoinsEngine build and create one test currency following that version’s configuration. Add the specific currency API/hook only where a dependent plugin supports it.
How do I know the plugin loaded?
Grant or earn a small test balance and verify the currency is shown, spent and persisted by the intended plugin after a restart.
What if it does not load?
If balances fail to display in a shop, check whether the shop reads Vault primary currency or CoinsEngine’s named currency. Verify any placeholder expansion before editing live balances.
