TCG Additions
by Bawnorton
TCG Additions is a Forge addon for the TCG SMP modpack that fixes assorted issues and adds quality-of-life features to card collecting.
What it does
Card collecting gains a set of conveniences. An Insert Cards button moves cards from the inventory into collector albums automatically, where it is possible, so players avoid placing them one at a time. Category pages get a dark background drawn behind them, and the card effects shown in the pack opening screen scale with the chosen GUI scale so the layout stays readable at any size.
The addon also patches a duplication bug in the collector album. Separately, it lets the Galena Gauntlet work with Tinker's Tools that carry the magnetic attribute. Both sides need the addon: the server runs the item and album fixes, and each client renders the screens and buttons.
Installation requires Forge for 1.20.1, and the addon is published only for that game version, with 1.3.2 as the latest file, released 2025-04-02. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source is public.
Key features
Insert Cards button
A button in the inventory moves matching cards into collector albums automatically, saving manual placement.
Album duplication fix
A patch removes a duplication bug in the collector album so card counts stay accurate.
Dark category backgrounds

Galena Gauntlet with Tinker's Tools
Tools carrying the magnetic attribute can be used with the Galena Gauntlet, which extends a tool that already exists in the modpack.

Use cases
TCG SMP servers
Server owners running the TCG SMP modpack can add these fixes to the existing setup without replacing other mods.
Pack opening sessions
Players opening packs at different GUI scales see card effects that stay sized to the screen.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners of the TCG SMP modpack or similar Forge 1.20.1 collecting setups who want the album and inventory fixes.
How it compares
Fate's Digimon TCG is client-side only and is released under the Apache License 2.0, with files for 1.20.1, so a server does not need it. Mcards runs on both client and server for 1.20.1 and is under All rights reserved, which means its code is not open source. TCG Additions needs both sides and is open source under the MIT License, so it adds fixes on top of a card setup instead of providing its own card game.
