Charta
With Charta installed, players set up a card table in the world and play full card matches against other players or against themselves.
What it does
Charta adds card games that run inside Minecraft. Decks are found in villages and dungeons, and a card table can be built in 3x3, 4x3 or 5x3 layouts, which allows matches of up to 8 players. Tables come in several wood types and their cloths can be mixed to change the look. Three games are included: Crazy Eights, Fun and Solitaire, each with an in-game tutorial and rules that follow the originals.
The mod also serves as a base for other modders, who can use its tools to add their own card games. Matches can be played against other players, against computer opponents, or solo. Charta requires Fabric API on both loaders and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds are published for Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1, under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, and the code is open source.
