Coupons Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) – Redeemable Bonuses for Crafting, Smelting, Loot & More

Coupons Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) is a lightweight yet clever addition to Minecraft that introduces a unique coupon system, enabling players to save resources or gain small advantages in key gameplay areas. Designed with subtle boosts rather than game-breaking powers, this mod makes survival a little smoother through strategic use of six collectible coupons, all of which are obtained by trading with the wandering trader.

These coupons are one-time-use items that trigger effects in crafting, smelting, villager trading, potion brewing, mob loot, and XP gain. Whether you want to get more value out of your recipes or earn bonus experience, this mod gives you a fun incentive to seek out wandering traders.

Features:

Crafting Coupon:
Keep this in your inventory while crafting to get back one of the used items (unless it’s a container item like a bucket).
Furnace Coupon:
Acts like a free fuel source smelts one item at no cost.
Villager Coupon:
Temporarily reduces the trade cost of a villager’s offers, making emeralds go further.
Potion Coupon:
Works in place of a water bottle for one free potion brew of your choice.
Loot Coupon:
Doubles the loot of the next mob you apply it to. Doesn’t affect blacklisted mobs or bosses if disabled in the config.
Experience Coupon:
Grants you one free experience level instantly upon use.

All coupons are obtained through trades with wandering traders, giving you an extra reason to interact with them instead of ignoring or avoiding them.

FAQs

How do I get coupons in the game?

You can obtain coupons by trading with wandering traders. Each trader has a chance to offer one or more of the six types of coupons.

Are coupons single-use?

Can I configure or disable any coupon effects?

Yes, the mod includes a configuration file that lets you adjust coupon behavior, including disabling loot doubling for bosses or blacklisted mobs.

Do I need anything special to activate a coupon?

Each coupon works automatically in the right context—e.g., having a Crafting Coupon in your inventory while crafting will trigger it. Others, like the Loot Coupon, must be manually applied to a mob.
