PokémonTCG
by domm_f
PokémonTCG for NeoForge brings the Pokémon Trading Card Game into Minecraft, with booster packs, card rarities, binders and battles between tabletop setups.
What it does
Players open booster packs to collect cards from new sets, work toward complete sets and trade with friends. Card rarities range from common cards to secret cards, and advancements mark notable pulls. Each set's drop odds are listed on the project's GitHub page. Sets are chosen by community votes on Google Polls, and some weeks a set is picked from community requests or a random wheel instead.
Pokémon TCG products are obtained from a TCG Collector villager, which appears in villages once a chest is placed near an unemployed villager. Binders are available from the same villager: Apprentice TCG Collectors offer binders with 150 card slots, and Master TCG Collectors offer binders with 300 slots, for storing and tracking collections.
The mod is available for NeoForge on 1.21.8 only, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved, which makes it not open source. The project's issue tracker takes bug reports and feedback. A dedicated play mat system is on the roadmap, and in the meantime players set up tabletop battles with item frames and storage blocks.
