This page is for determining currency value in minecraft. This takes EMC into consideration, since iron is used to make IC2 credits, and most items are determined by EMC anyway.

Currency
So what can be used as currency?

Currency should not be directly EE compatible, since that will result in an EE ruled server, which is fine but makes everything be currency. It is best to have standard values: you want money, sell; want items, buy.

This list is an IC2 items based currency system. EMC scores for everything is based on iron and diamond EMC values.

1 credit = 64emc(by iron), so 1 stack of common blocks can be had easily with this in mind.

1 Compressed Coal ball = ~1024emc(1/8 diamond) or 16 credits

1 Coal Chunk = ~8192emc(worth 1 diamond) or 8 Compressed Coal ball or 2 stacks credits(128 credits)


 * From this point on, these items are not EE compareable. Difficult to obtain, and thus expensive. The shown values are taking this into account, working based on the base 8 rule that applies to most things in minecraft.

1 UU matter = ~65,536emc or 8 Coal chunks

Iridium ore = ~524,288emc or 8 UU matter

Iridium plate = ~2097152emc or 4 Iridium ore

Buying
Trade-O-Mats are great for this sort of system, acting as vending machines.

If using this with described monetary system, then any price can be asked, but emc will play an important role for standardizing the whole thing.

This puts Gem armor(324,726,982emc) at ~155 iridium plates (154 Iridium plates + 3 Iridium ores + 2 UU +7 coal chunks + 4 Compressed coal balls + 3 credits + 6emc)
