HighStakes

[1.1.0] - 2026-10-15

A full rebuild of the mod. Version 1.0.0 did not load on Forge and its tables were not playable: please update, and do not mix 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 on the same server.

Requires Minecraft 1.20.1 and Architectury API 9.2.14 or newer, plus Fabric API on Fabric (Fabric Loader 0.15.11+) or Forge 47.2.0+.

Added

• Playable Gaming Table for Liar's Dice, Miner's Blackjack and Coin Flip. Right-click to take a seat, right-click with an item in hand to stake it; the table owner shift-right-clicks to switch game.
• Keys (rebindable under Controls): G ready, then bid / hit / call Sun; H call liar / stand / call Moon; J double down in Blackjack. In Liar's Dice, Up/Down set the bid quantity and Left/Right the die face.
• House bank for Blackjack: the owner funds it with gold ingots and cashes it out with shift-right-click while holding the currency. A stake is capped at half the bank so every win can be paid.
• Chips: bronze, silver and gold chips to bet with instead of rare items, crafted from and exchanged back to copper, iron and gold ingots.
• Table HUD: a translucent parchment panel with game, turn timer, your private hand, dealer card, pot and bank. It never blocks movement or other screens.
• 3D table: animated cards, dice and coin on green felt, with the pot rendered on the table.
• Sounds and particles for staking, mode changes and wins.
• Server config config/highstakes.properties: turn timer, Blackjack currency, max stake per bet, and which games owners can enable.
• Admin log of every Blackjack round in the server log.
• English and Italian translations.

Changed

• Every game decision runs on the server; clients only see public table state, so other players' hands and dice never leak.
• Seats are saved with the world.
• A player sits at one table at a time; actions always reach the table shown on the HUD.
• Blackjack pays 3:2 on a natural blackjack.
• Turns move on with a safe default move when the timer runs out.

Fixed

• Forge: the mod now loads.
• Breaking or blowing up a table returns every stake and the house bank exactly once.
• Stakes of offline players are kept in the world save and handed back on their next login, instead of dropping on the ground.
• A Blackjack hand cut short by a server restart is cancelled with a full refund.
• Liar's Dice: turn order is enforced and resets correctly after a challenge.
• Seat stealing, playing against yourself and empty-hand crashes.
• Staking a whole stack named the item "Air" in the confirmation message.
• A stake the bank can't cover now says why instead of a generic refusal.
• The previous round's result no longer stays on the HUD.
