Meowth Economy

A lightweight and universal currency system designed for modpack creators.

💰 Core Mechanic

🐷 Meowth Piggy Bank

A configurable piggy bank item that can be broken to drop Lucky Coins.

When destroyed, it rolls based on weighted configuration values defined in the configuration file.

File location: config/meowth.json

🪙 Lucky Coin

Primary currency item used for:

• Custom shops
• Recipe costs
• Loot rewards
• Progression systems

⚙️ Configuration

Default meowth.json values:

{
  "piggy_weights": [
    { "min": 3,  "max": 5,  "weight": 6 },
    { "min": 6,  "max": 10, "weight": 5 },
    { "min": 11, "max": 15, "weight": 3 },
    { "min": 16, "max": 20, "weight": 2 },
    { "min": 21, "max": 25, "weight": 1 }
  ]
}

How it works:

1. Each entry defines a drop range (min → max).
2. Weight controls how likely that range is selected.
3. Higher weight = more common.

This allows full control over early / mid / late game economy balance.
