About this Mod

Hermitcraft TCG Datapack

Hermitcraft TCG is a serverwide minigame created by VintageBeef in Hermitcraft Seasons 9 & 10. If you've ever wanted to play it on your own world, now you can!

Notes

This is not my idea. If you like this minigame, go support @VintageBeef on YouTube.
While this datapack is not my own unique idea, I have added multiple quality of life systems that weren't in the original.
The datapack has currently only been tested in versions 1.21.5 & 1.21.8.

How to download

Download each of the files in versions (datapack, resourcepack, maps).
Drag the resource pack into your resourcepacks folder & enable it.
Drag datapack into your datapacks folder while creating the world & enable it.
Once the world has been created, extract the maps zip file in the /data/ folder of the world file.
You can now use the commands to give yourself the cards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hermitcraft TCG server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong datapack version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.11). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Hermitcraft TCG compatible with datapack and fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?

Hermitcraft TCG officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Hermitcraft TCG – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Hermitcraft TCG consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
