Cartan Mod

Instead of a tabletop, the game uses the world itself: biomes decide what each chunk produces, forests yield wood, dry biomes yield brick, wet biomes yield wool, plains and meadows grain, and high stony terrain ore. Production tokens are assigned to chunks like numbered spaces, and a claimed chunk outlined in its owner's colour pays out when its number is rolled. Settlements produce one resource and cities produce two, while ocean, river, beach and swamp areas hold deterministic harbors.

Turns follow the usual rhythm of rolling, building, banking, trading and harbor use, and rolling a seven activates the bandit, which can block a tile and let its owner be robbed. Games are persistent: they are saved with the world, survive server restarts, and let new players join after a game has begun. Capitals can construct five staged Great Projects, and Personal Contracts, risky Merchant Contracts and twelve Council action cards add goals beyond expansion. Teams share building access, elect leaders and manage empire names, treasuries and public works.

The mod requires Fabric API, runs on Fabric only, and needs both the server and every player, since it is a client and server environment. Files are published for 1.21.1, with the latest build 1.0.5 dated 2026-07-23. Cartan Mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
