How do I install Playing Cards?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on CurseForge — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

What Minecraft version does Playing Cards work with?

The listing gives Minecraft 1.18.1, 1.18.2, 1.16.5, among others. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

Playing Cards

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.16–1.18. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Forge only.

Minecraft 1.18.2Newest
Minecraft 1.18.1
Minecraft 1.16.4–1.16.5

⬇ Download for 1.18.2 ⬇ Download for 1.18.1 ⬇ Download for 1.16.4–1.16.5

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Introduction

Ever wanted to play cards in Minecraft? Host your very own casino? Gamble your life savings away? Me too...I mean...now you can! This mod includes 4 different 52-card decks (blue, red, black, pig variant), 5 different poker chips (white, red, blue, green, black), poker table blocks, and bar stools! The cards can be stacked & flipped, and the deck can be shuffled. The poker chips can be stacked, and marked by a casino owner (so nobody brings their own!) The poker table is free-form; meaning you can make your own table shapes to suit all of your decoration needs. Lastly, the bar stools can be rotated and sat on!

Development for this mod has been halted!

Unfortunately, I do not have time for modding anymore, so development for this mod has stopped. However, I give anyone full permission to port this mod to future versions of the game as long as credit is pointed back to me for the art and code. I will no longer reply to private messages asking me to update this mod to x version.
