Deal With It
Deal With It adds card decks and card games to Minecraft, with blocks, items and actions for placing, shuffling and flipping cards in the world.
What it does
Cards are handled through a card box block, card stacks and single cards held in the hand or placed in the world. A player can take the top card from a stack with an empty hand, place a single card or a whole stack, flip cards face up or down, and break a stack to pick up all of it at once. Crouching while picking up a face-down card moves it into the inventory face-up.
A blank card box is the usual starting point for most decks, and its recipe calls for paper and a barrel. Game rules are data-driven and sold separately as datapacks, and the mod includes its own datapack menus, so a world's datapacks can be enabled or disabled per world, and custom decks can be created through a datapack. Deal With It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is published for Fabric only, across 26.1 – 26.3 and released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, which makes it open source. Fabric API is required, and Kitchen Projectiles is an optional dependency.
Builds are listed for 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, and the latest file is 1.1.0+mc26.3 for 26.3, published on 2026-09-21.

Use cases
Card games with friends

How it compares
Tog yk's cards runs on Fabric for 1.21.11 – 26.3 and is not open source; it uses the MIT License and is client and server. Action Deck is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 only. Playing Cards and Tables takes a different route: it runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21.11 – 26.3 under the MIT License, and only the server needs it, so players can join without it.
