EcoCreate-Markets

A custom economy and auction house mod for Minecraft Forge 1.20.1, designed specifically for TomTom's EcoCreate Modpack.

Overview

EcoCreate-Markets provides a streamlined, industrial-themed marketplace with a digital-only currency system. The economy is designed to feel earned through factory output and military supply chains, what the EcoCreate Modpack will be like.

Core Philosophy

"Money flows through production, not magic commands."

Info Panel (New in 0.1.3)

The Info Panel is a HUD overlay that appears on every player's screen. It shows your balance, active auction listings, leaderboard rank, and any server announcements — all updating in real-time.

Players can toggle the panel with a keybind (default: K).

For Server Owners

Everything is customizable in config/ecomarkets-common.toml under [infoPanel]. Here are the highlights:

Position and size:

position = "MIDDLE_RIGHT"
offsetX = 4
offsetY = 0
panelWidth = 0          # 0 = auto-fit to content

Colors (ARGB hex — first 2 characters are opacity, last 6 are the color):

backgroundColor = "B0121212"
borderColor = "FF2A9D8F"
titleColor = "FFE9C46A"
textColor = "FFFFFFFF"

Server message — display announcements, event info, or seasonal messages. Change it live without restarting:

/ecomarkets panel message Welcome to Season 3!
/ecomarkets panel message               <-- clears the message

Long messages automatically scroll like a news ticker. The scroll speed and pause timings are configurable.
