About this Mod

How It Works
Each duel is a 1v1 turn-based match. Both players choose a Leader card — your champion on the field with its own HP, ATK, and DEF stats. Build a deck, draw your opening hand, and outlast your opponent by reducing their Leader to 0 HP.

First move is decided the Minecraft way: Shears, Paper, or Cobblestone — a rock-paper-scissors showdown before the match begins.

Card Types
Type Description
Leader Your main fighter. Has HP, ATK, and DEF. Losing this means losing the match.
Equipment Attaches to your Leader to boost stats. Some have durability.
Item Single-use effects. Discard after use.
Trap Triggers on your opponent's action.
Special Unique effects that bend the rules.
Cards can be placed face-down to bluff your opponent, then flipped to activate them.

Rarities
Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary
Legendary cards have animated borders that set them apart on the field

Frequently Asked Questions

MCTCG server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric 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 MCTCG compatible with fabric?

MCTCG officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.11. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with MCTCG – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if MCTCG 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.
