Mine Trading Cards - Collect Cards in Minecraft

About the Mod

Mine Trading Cards transforms Minecraft into an exciting card collecting game! Mobs occasionally drop various card packs: standard packs, edition-specific packs, or packs of particular rarity. Inside, you'll find cards of five rarity levels: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Ancient, and Legendary.

The world also features special collector villagers who are willing to sell or trade cards. The card system is built around "editions" (sets or series) that load from separate files. You can create your own cards and even entirely new editions by simply adding files to the mtc folder.

Installation

Mod installation is standard for Forge - place the .jar file in your mods folder. However, to load the basic card sets, you'll need to additionally download and install special files.

Versions 3.1 and Newer

Starting from version 3.1, Mine Trading Cards loads content packs from resource packs to save memory. Extract any content pack into the resource pack folder. The structure should look like this:

<resource pack folder or zip archive>
      ---->assets
            ---->is_mtc
                  ---->mtc
                        ---->assets
                        ---->cards
                        ---->editions
                        ---->packs (optional - see "Custom Packs" section)

Card Editions

Various card pack editions are defined in the /editions folder using JSON files:

{

    "id": "my_edition",

    "name": "My Edition Pack",

    "color": "#55ff00" (optional)

}

The "color" field is not required. If you don't specify it, MTC will automatically generate a color for the pack icon based on the identifier.

Custom Packs

You can create custom packs with specific numbers of cards by categories and rarities! Example configuration:

{
    "id": "test_pack",
    "name": "Test Custom Pack",
    "categories": [
        "Minecraft Mob:2:common",
        "World Item:3:common"
    ],
    "color": "#ff0088"  (optional)
}

Place this .json file in the /mtc/packs/ folder. Such a pack will contain two common cards of the "Minecraft Mob" category and three common cards of the "World Item" category. All .json files in the /mtc/packs folder are automatically loaded as custom packs.
