Hermitcraft TCG
by Eclipse37_
Hermitcraft TCG brings a trading card game built from VintageBeef's Hermitcraft TCG into Minecraft worlds, through a data pack that players load into their own worlds.
What it does
The data pack was written by its author to let players play the Hermitcraft TCG game in their own worlds, and it adds several quality-of-life systems that the author notes were not part of the original game. Its files are offered as datapack, resource pack and map packages, and the pack is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with data pack as a separate server platform.
Setup is manual: the resource pack goes into the resourcepacks folder and the data pack into the datapacks folder of a newly created world, after which the map zip is extracted into that world's data folder. Cards are then given to a player with commands. The author tested the data pack on 1.21.5, 1.21.8 and 1.21.11 only.
The mod is open source under the Apache License 2.0, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Files cover 1.21.4 – 1.21.11 across eight release versions, and the latest file for 1.21.8 was published on 2025-09-12.
