CSShardsEconomy

Advanced Secondary Currency System for Minecraft Servers

CSShardsEconomy is a powerful, lightweight, and performance-optimized Minecraft plugin that adds a fully independent secondary currency system called “Shards” to your server.
It is designed for modern servers that want a premium-style economy system without interfering with Vault, Essentials, or their primary economy.

This plugin is perfect for Survival, Lifesteal, Skyblock, Prison, AFK-based servers, SMPs, and RPG servers that want more control over rewards and premium purchases.
