The New Economy

[](app.codacy.com/gh/TheNewEconomy/EconomyCore/das…)

The New Economy, TNE, is the ultimate economy plugin for your Minecraft server, no matter what platform you're on. While TNE is pushed as being "feature-packed," but it's not feature-packed in the normal sense of jamming a bunch of useless features into the core plugin, but rather using modules.

[](raw.githubusercontent.com/TheNewEconomy/Economy…)

The economy plugin for server owners that want more out of their economy.

About TNE

TNE was originally created for hey0's hMod long before Bukkit/Spigot/Paper was a thing. Since then, it has taken on many forms and this is the future form of the plugin. This core is designed to be robust and carry TNE into the future with or without Minecraft by not being platform-dependent.

Requirements

TNE has some minimum requirements that should be followed.

  • MySQL 8.0+ (if using MySQL for storage)
  • MariaDB 10.7.0+
  • Java 17+
