FAQ

Does Exchequer require Towny? No. It runs fully standalone with personal treasuries and personal GDP. Towny is detected automatically if installed and unlocks nation level features, see [Towny Integration](Towny-Integration.md).

Does Exchequer require Vault? No. Without Vault, there's simply no MONEY currency and no Economy API bridge for other plugins. Every other system works independently of it.

Can I add my own materials? Yes, through the materials.tracked list in config.yml, or at runtime with /exchequer material add <material>. New materials are picked up by GDP, the exchange system, and price tracking automatically.

Will adding a new material break existing GDP history? No. GDP is calculated dynamically from whatever materials are currently tracked at calculation time, so past GDP figures aren't recalculated retroactively, and future figures include the new material going forward.

Can players go into debt? No. There is no lending or borrowing anywhere in Exchequer. Shares are equity, not debt, and cannot produce a negative balance for a nation.

What happens to a material's price if everyone sells it at once? The AMM pool's price impact mechanic means the rate moves progressively worse the larger a single trade is, and per player exchange rate limits add a second layer of protection against one player crashing a material's value in a single transaction.

Does Exchequer work on Folia? Yes, natively, see [Platform Support](Platform-Support.md) for details on how this is implemented.

Does Exchequer work across a BungeeCord or Velocity network? Only with the network license and a MySQL (and ideally Redis) setup, see [Cross Server Setup](Cross-Server-Setup.md).

I removed a material from the tracked list, what happens to player balances in it? They are preserved in the database but become inaccessible through normal commands and GUIs until the material is re-added. See [Troubleshooting](Troubleshooting.md) for the recommended way to handle this.

Can I disable specific systems, like shares or insurance, without disabling the whole plugin? Yes, through permissions rather than config. See [Permissions](Permissions.md).

Is there a way to reset the entire economy without reinstalling the plugin? There's no single command for this currently, since it would be destructive and irreversible. If you need this, back up your database first, then manually clear the relevant tables. This isn't officially documented as a supported workflow, proceed carefully.
