# ItemEconomy II
ItemEconomy II is a fork of [ItemEconomy](https://modrinth.com/plugin/itemeconomy), keeping it updated to later versions of Minecraft and adding new features.

This PaperMC plugin integrates with VaultUnlocked to provide a unique, item-based economy system for your Minecraft server. Instead of relying solely on virtual balances, players use in-game items as physical currency, adding a layer of immersion and realism to your economy.
Features:

- **Item-Based Currency:** Set any Minecraft item as your server's currency (default: diamonds).
- **VaultUnlocked Integration:** Fully compatible with VaultUnlocked, enabling seamless interaction with other economy-based plugins.
- **Simple logic:** Just checks if the user has the item/how many when queried.
- **Customizable Formatting:** Define how your currency is displayed, including singular and plural forms.
- **Ender Chest support:** Items on Ender Chests are counted in the user balance.
- **Built-int optional balance and pay commands** with support for permissions.

## Configuration Example:
```yaml
item: diamond        # Define the item to be used as currency.
singular: diamond    # Singular form of the currency.
plural: diamonds     # Plural form of the currency.
format: "{} $"       # {} will be replaced with the amount and $ either with singular or plural
ender_chest: balance # Either none or balance
commands: true       # Disabling this will disable /balance and /pay
```

This configuration will use diamonds as the currency, displayed as {amount}$, e.g., "5 diamonds" or "1 diamond".

## Usage:

- Players can earn, trade, and store the configured item as physical currency.
- Integrates seamlessly with Vault-compatible plugins for shops, auctions, and more.
- Administrators can customize the item and formatting to match their server's theme.
