Playing Cards and Tables
by dqwertyc.dev
Playing Cards and Tables puts a special card table into the game, where players lay out playing cards from decks they craft or open.
What it does
The mod adds playing cards and card tables to Minecraft. A card table has nine slots for placing cards, and it can be crafted from planks, colored carpet and an item frame stack. Players interact with the table in several ways: a card can be placed face up or face down, and a sneak right-click on an empty slot disables the slot while a plain right-click enables it.
A base deck is crafted from six paper and three dyes, one red, one cyan and one more. Each deck item holds one default card, and the base deck also contains Jokers. Joker bags are crafted from two paper, red and cyan dye and a third dye. Holding a bag and right-clicking opens it, and a bag gives a random card, such as a Cyan Joker or a Red Joker, that is already included in the set.
The mod is server required and client optional: the server must run it, while players may add it to join with the same content. Its files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the datapack and resource pack are required as well. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Builds cover 1.21.11 – 26.3, with files for 1.21.11 and 26.3.

How it compares
Tog yk's cards is a Fabric-only mod released under the MIT License that is not open source, with a client and server environment and files for 1.21.11 – 26.3. Action Deck is also a Fabric mod, open source under the MIT License, but it covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 and requires both sides, so it does not share this version range. Mino++ is open source under the MIT License and works on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20 – 1.21.1.
