The Cards Are Dealt
by kirbee
The Cards Are Dealt adds dice to Minecraft: players craft a single Wool block into a die, throw it, and fire dice from a slingshot or a stack-based launcher.
What it does
Dice are crafted from a single Wool block. Right-clicking throws the die, and everyone within 16 blocks sees which face came up. A die that has landed can be rolled again with another right-click, and a crouched punch picks it back up. Dice keep moving after a throw: they roll down hills, drift on water, bounce off Slime Blocks and push other dice aside.
Holding right-click winds up a shot and releasing it fires the die, and a longer wind-up gives a faster shot. Dice can be held in the off-hand to choose which one is fired. Each face has a set damage value, and a roll of six counts as a critical hit. Dye crafts recolor dice in sixteen colors. Four Wool blocks in a 2×2 grid make a Big Dice, which falls at half gravity and is heard by everyone within 32 blocks. Nine dice can be bundled into one throwable.
The mod depends on Fabric API and Geckolib, both of which must be installed alongside it. The Cards Are Dealt is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, across four release versions, 1.21.1 – 26.1.2, under the MIT License, and it is not open source.
Key features
Dice from Wool
A single Wool block crafts into a die, and dyeing afterwards recolors it in sixteen colors.
Throwing and rolling
Dice are thrown with a right-click and rerolled from the ground, and everyone within 16 blocks sees the result.
Charged slingshot
Holding right-click winds up a shot whose speed grows with the wind-up time, and the die deals damage based on the face shown.
Chaining and big dice
Dice can be chained for combos, four Wool blocks craft a larger die that falls slowly, and nine dice bundle into one throw.

What the author says
The Cards Are Dealt (TCAD) gives Minecraft something to gamble with. Throw dice and chain combos, rig them when nobody's looking, and fire them from a slingshot. Bet your diamonds at a rock-paper-scissors card table, and try not to touch the frogs. Seriously. Don't touch the frogs. Dice actually tumble. They roll…
