Oxygen: Currency Providers – Unlock a Multi-Currency Economy in Minecraft
Minecraft mods have evolved far beyond simple block additions, and economy systems now play a central role in many multiplayer servers and modpacks. If you have ever wished to blend virtual currencies from different mods into one seamless experience, Oxygen: Currency Providers is the bridge you need. This lightweight yet powerful extension works alongside the Oxygen Core to connect, replace, or expand in-game money systems, giving you full control over how players earn and spend.
What Are Currency Providers?
At its heart, Oxygen has its own virtual currency – the familiar “oxygen coins” – but the real magic happens when you introduce providers. A currency provider is a small, optional addon that tells Oxygen how to talk to another mod’s economy. Instead of being locked into a single coin type, you can load multiple providers simultaneously, allowing different mods to share the same wallet or even run separate currencies side by side. This flexibility means a server could use FTB Money for one set of shops, Grand Economy for another, and still keep everything synchronized through Oxygen’s interface.
Providers work by either adding a completely new currency to the list or replacing the default oxygen coins at index 0. Both the server and every client need the provider installed, so the widgets, icons, and balance displays update correctly. The system is designed to be non-destructive – if you switch providers, simply delete the client currency property files inside .minecraft/config/oxygen/data/client/properties/currency and the new provider will regenerate its own set. This ensures that currency names and icons always match the active mod.
Key Features at a Glance
- Multi-currency support: Run several virtual currencies at once without conflicts.
- Seamless third-party integration: Connect popular economy mods directly into Oxygen’s framework.
- Replace or extend: Swap out the default oxygen coins entirely or add new currencies on top.
- Client-server sync: Providers are required on both sides, guaranteeing accurate balance displays.
- Safe early access: The project is absolutely safe for worlds and player data, with no risk of corruption.
- Easy configuration: Clear instructions for resetting client properties when changing currencies.
Supported Economy Mods
The current roster of providers covers a wide range of well-known economy mods. Each one is published separately, so you only download what you actually need. Here are the officially supported integrations as of the latest update:
- Economy Inc. – A classic virtual currency system used in many tech-focused packs.
- Fex’s Small Money Mod (FSMM) – A lightweight, item-based money mod; special thanks to FEX___96 for the huge help in creating this provider.
- FTB Money – The official currency from the Feed The Beast team, perfect for quest-driven modpacks.
- Grand Economy – A feature-rich economy mod with banks, interest, and custom currencies (latest update 0.11.2b).
- Legend of Zelda Mod – Adds rupees and other Zelda-themed currencies that can now flow through Oxygen.
Keep in mind that providers are entirely optional. If you are happy with oxygen coins alone, you do not need any of them. But the moment you want to unify your server’s economy or give players access to multiple money types, picking the right provider becomes essential.
How to Install and Configure
Getting started is straightforward. First, make sure you have Oxygen Core installed – it is the mandatory backbone that all providers depend on. Then head to the mod’s page and download only the provider that matches your chosen economy mod. Drop the provider file into your mods folder on both the server and every client. After launching the game, the provider will automatically register its currency. If you are replacing the default oxygen coins, remember to delete the client currency property files as mentioned earlier so that icons and names refresh correctly.
For an even smoother setup, you can easily install this mod via the foxygame.net launcher — a convenient, flexible, and modern Minecraft launcher where you can download mods right from the menu, saving you from manual file management and keeping everything neatly organized. Many players find that using a dedicated launcher reduces the friction of juggling multiple addons, especially when experimenting with different currency providers.
Early Access and Safety
Oxygen: Currency Providers is currently in early access, but do not let that label worry you. The developer has gone to great lengths to ensure the mod is absolutely safe for both worlds and player data. You can add or remove providers without corrupting your save files, and all changes are reversible. The project also recommends installing the Smooth Font mod to improve text quality in economy widgets, giving your UI a cleaner, more polished look. Error reports are handled through the Oxygen Core repository, so if you encounter any issues, you can submit them there – no external links needed, just look for the “issues” section on the mod’s page.
Final Thoughts
Oxygen: Currency Providers turns a simple virtual coin system into a versatile economic hub. Whether you are building a massive modpack with multiple competing currencies or simply want to replace the default oxygen coins with something more thematic, these providers give you the freedom to tailor every transaction. The early access state shows active development, with recent updates like Grand Economy support proving that the list of compatible mods will only grow. For server admins and modpack creators who value flexibility, this is a must-have companion to Oxygen Core. Grab the provider that fits your vision, sync your clients, and watch your Minecraft economy come alive.
