football collection
football collection is a Fabric collectible card mod that adds a football card album and booster packs to Minecraft 1.21.11.
What it does
Players open five-card packs and fill a World Cup album with cards from a set of more than 11,000 unique football cards. Packs are opened with a key press, and the album is browsed from a second key. The system is a side activity, so it leaves crafting, progression and survival balance untouched.
Players spend downtime opening packs while crops grow, furnaces smelt or a mob farm produces items, working toward a complete collection. The card system is purely cosmetic and does not give any gameplay advantage. Installation needs only Fabric; the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for 1.21.11 only, and the mod is released under the MIT License without being open source.
Key features
Card packs
Each pack contains five cards drawn from a catalog of over 11,000 unique football cards.
World Cup album
A dedicated album screen shows which cards have been collected and lets players track progress toward a full set.
Keyboard shortcuts
One key opens a pack and another opens the album, so the activity can be used without leaving the game view.
Cosmetic only
Cards carry no effect on crafting, mobs, progression or balance, so the feature is an optional collectible layer.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Players who want a collecting side activity in a survival or creative world, and server owners who want a light cosmetic addition that does not change gameplay for anyone else.
