About this project
What does Packs & Pillagers add?


A Stacklands-style card game that massively changes survival Minecraft!
Everything you gather, craft, and fight is a card. Stack villagers on trees, rocks, and bushes to gather resources, build up your village, keep everyone fed, and eventually open a portal to a second table in the Nether.
Since this is a Data Pack and Resource Pack, both can be installed once server side and will apply to every player who joins, so nobody has to install the pack themselves! Prefer mods? The same game also comes as a single mod for Fabric, Quilt, NeoForge, and Forge.
Made for Minecraft Java 26.3.


The Card Table
- Your own table, in its own world!
- Drag, stack, and sell cards however you like
- Buy card packs from shops and open them to find new cards
- Follow the Quest Book through two chapters, with side quests and Orders along the way
Villagers at Work
- Stack them up and watch them go!
- Drop villagers on trees, rocks, and berry bushes to gather resources
- Combine cards to craft tools, buildings, food, and more
- Give your villagers weapons, armor, and talismans, and enchant their gear
Supper
- Everyone eats in the morning!
- Keep enough food on the table, or your villagers will starve
Chapter 2: The Nether
- Things are heating up!
- Build a Nether Portal to open a second table in the Nether
- Barter with Piglins, climb the gold shops, and forge Netherite gear
- Summon the Wither, build a Beacon, and brew new potions for your villagers
Automation
- Let the table run itself!
- Link cards with the Wrench to move items between hoppers, droppers, and furnaces
- Autocrafters make over 50 different cards without a villager
- Pipe cards between your tables through the Nether Portal
The Cardopedia and Guide Book
- Every card in one book!
- Look up any card's recipe, uses, and drops
- The Guide Book explains everything, from your first villager to the Nether
Monsters, Raids, and Gateways
- It's not all peaceful!
- Fend off creepers, zombies, skeletons, and pillager raids

- Take on all sorts of bosses!
Play Together
- Bring your friends!
- Share one table, or give everyone their own

Q. How do I download the pack?
A. Install the data pack in the vanilla world creation menu! ¹ Or use the mod version, which works on Fabric, Quilt, NeoForge, and Forge.
Q. I can't find the resource pack!
A. Go to the Versions tab, find the data pack version you want, and click the name, then scroll to the bottom and install the resource pack. ² The mod version already includes it.
Q. Can I add it to an existing world?
A. It's best in a new world, since it massively changes how survival plays. If you do add it, restart the world once afterward so the card table loads. Worlds from 1.2 upgrade automatically and keep their progress.
Q. Does it work in multiplayer?
A. Yes! Friends can share one table or each have their own.
Q. Is Chapter 2 out?
A. Yes! Version 2.0 adds Chapter 2: The Nether. Join the Discord to hear about what's next :D
Q. How do I start over?
A. An operator can run
/function pnp:reset/allto reset everything for everyone, back to day 1. To reset just your own table, run/function pnp:debug/reset_board.
Q. I found a bug, what do I do?
A. Join the Discord and file a bug report, or open an issue on the GitHub! :D
