Compressed Coins

Description

Compressed Coins 🔗

A simple resource compression mod for Luanti / Minetest.

Compressed Coins adds six craftable coins that provide a compact way to store valuable resources. Each higher-tier coin is crafted from resource blocks and the previous-tier coin, creating a simple progression system. Any coin can be converted back into the resources used to create it without requiring a crafting table. Compressed Coins

Features 🔗

  • Six craftable coins:

    • Tin Coin
    • Copper Coin
    • Bronze Coin
    • Steel Coin
    • Gold Coin
    • Diamond Coin
  • Progressive crafting system.

  • Instant reverse conversion by using a coin.

  • No crafting table required for reverse conversion.

  • Simple and lightweight implementation.

  • Easy to extend with additional coin tiers.

How It Works 🔗

Coins are crafted from resource blocks.

The first tier is crafted entirely from blocks, while every higher tier requires eight resource blocks and one coin from the previous tier.

Progression:

  • Tin Coin = 9 Tin Blocks
  • Copper Coin = 8 Copper Blocks + Tin Coin
  • Bronze Coin = 8 Bronze Blocks + Copper Coin
  • Steel Coin = 8 Steel Blocks + Bronze Coin
  • Gold Coin = 8 Gold Blocks + Steel Coin
  • Diamond Coin = 8 Diamond Blocks + Gold Coin

Using a coin instantly converts it back into the resources it contains.
