Runic Cards (LEGACY)
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.20. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
THIS IS A LEGACY PROJECT. For my up to date current projects packaged into one mod, please download: Project Overhaul - Minecraft Mods - CurseForge
This mod introduces 18 unique throwable cards into Minecraft, each with its own distinct utility.
Every card is configurable, allowing you to tweak behaviors and effects via the provided config file to suit your gameplay needs. Cards are crafted using unique materials for the first copy, but once obtained, each one can be easily duplicated using a universal duplication recipe—akin to how smithing templates work.
For balance control, the Item Obliterator mod is recommended, especially when tuning the experience in custom modpacks. Recipe viewing is supported through JEI, and for those seeking deeper integration or more intricate crafting chains, KubeJS is strongly encouraged. By default, recipes use only vanilla components, making this mod a great foundation for further expansion and creative customization.
