About this Mod
MtgCard brings the world of Magic: The Gathering into Minecraft as a fully interactive, in-game experience.
Features
Open booster packs and collect real MTG cards pulled directly from official Magic: The Gathering sets. Can even store the cards in the Card Database, so that they don't needlessly fill up your chests.
Booster packs can be crafted or found in any loot chest.
If you don't want to always open up booster packs to get the cards, there is a card store that you can buy from. The price on the cards are based on their real value. $1 = 1 diamond
If you don't want the cards to cost diamonds, feel free to go into the config to change it to whatever item you want.
Everything is designed to feel diegetic — cards exist as real items, GUIs are styled like arcane terminals, and displays integrate seamlessly into bases, shops, and multiplayer hubs.
