Table Games Reborn
An updated and expanded continuation of Table Games for Minecraft Java 1.21.11, with bug fixes, rebalanced chip crafting, and new poker buttons.
Table Games Reborn is an updated continuation of the original Table Games datapack by 2M3V, adapted for Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.11.
The original datapack stopped being updated after version 1.20.4, so I restored compatibility with Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.11, fixed a number of bugs, prepared the project for future development, rebalanced poker chip crafting, and added new poker buttons. This release was made with permission from the original datapack author.
This version adds two new types of poker chips CH and AR with a rebalanced crafting system.
⚠️ INSTALLATION: This ZIP works as both a datapack and a resource pack.
Put the same ZIP file into both the datapacks and resourcepacks folders, then enable it as a resource pack in the game and run
/reload.

🔶 Crafting Recipes
Cards Bundle
Contains 54 cards. When used, it gives the player a random card.
If the bundle is in the off hand and a card is in the main hand, using it will put the card back into the bundle.If the bundle is dropped onto the table, after 2 seconds it will automatically collect nearby cards within a 1-block radius, as long as there is enough space inside.
If used while sneaking and looking at a block, the bundle is placed as an item.
If used while sneaking and looking into the air, it gives the player a hidden card.Placed cards can be flipped by interacting with them while sneaking.
Chess Bundle
Contains 32 chess pieces.
If the bundle is in the off hand and a chess piece is in the main hand, using it will put the piece back into the bundle.If the bundle is dropped onto the table, after 2 seconds it will automatically collect nearby chess pieces within a 1-block radius, as long as there is enough space inside.
Chess pieces are placed on a grid that matches the squares of the chessboard.
If used while sneaking, the bundle is placed as an item.
Checkers Bundle
Contains 24 checker pieces.
If the bundle is in the off hand and a checker piece is in the main hand, using it will put the piece back into the bundle.If the bundle is dropped onto the table, after 2 seconds it will automatically collect nearby checker pieces within a 1-block radius, as long as there is enough space inside.
Like chess pieces, checker pieces are placed on a grid that matches the squares of the board.
If used while sneaking, the bundle is placed as an item.
Domino Bundle
Contains 24 domino tiles.
If the bundle is in the off hand and a domino tile is in the main hand, using it will put the tile back into the bundle.If the bundle is dropped onto the table, after 2 seconds it will automatically collect nearby domino tiles within a 1-block radius, as long as there is enough space inside.
If you interact with a domino tile while sneaking, it rotates by 90°.
If used while sneaking, the bundle is placed as an item.
Chess Board
The chess board is placed on a 2×2 block surface covered with any carpet.
Dice
When placed, it rolls a random value from 1 to 6.
Poker Chips
Chips are placed on a grid and can be stacked on top of each other.
You can pick up chips from a stack with an empty hand by interacting with them.
If you already have the same chip in your main hand, you can pick up one chip directly into that slot by interacting with a chip stack while sneaking.
This makes it easier to collect chips from stacks without manually reorganizing your inventory.
Chips Bundle
Used to store poker chips.
If you add a dye to the recipe, the bundle texture will match the dye color.
Chips Exchanger
Allows you to exchange chips back into resources.
NEW: Poker Buttons
Three separate poker buttons have been added: Dealer (D), Small Blind (SB), and Big Blind (BB).
They use the same gameplay behavior as poker chips: they are placed on a grid and can be stacked on top of each other.
Unlike regular chips, the Chips Exchanger does not interact with them.
🟦 Poker Chip Crafting System
CH Chips
These are simpler chips intended for regular gameplay. They are a good fit if you just want to play poker with friends on a server where plugins cannot be installed.
The crafting pattern is classic: one item in the center + 4 Gold Nuggets in a cross shape, but the center item has been changed.
| Center item | Result |
|---|---|
| Sugar | 1 CH |
| Redstone Dust | 5 CH |
| Lapis Lazuli | 10 CH |
| Emerald | 25 CH |
| Gold Ingot | 50 CH |
| Amethyst Shard | 100 CH |
AR Chips
These are higher-value chips with a distinct appearance. They are crafted using Deepslate Diamond Ore.
Visually, they are different from CH chips: they have a dot in the center, making them easier to tell apart.
Each chip also has its value shown in its name, so players do not get confused.
How AR Chip Crafting Works
AR chip crafting works differently from regular crafting:
- the main item is placed in the center slot
(Sugar / Redstone Dust / Lapis Lazuli / Emerald / Gold Ingot / Amethyst Shard) - one Deepslate Diamond Ore is placed in the right slot
- the remaining required Deepslate Diamond Ore is automatically removed from the player’s inventory when the result is taken
| Center item | Item in the right slot | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Sugar | Deepslate Diamond Ore | 1 AR |
| Redstone Dust | Deepslate Diamond Ore | 3 AR |
| Lapis Lazuli | Deepslate Diamond Ore | 6 AR |
| Emerald | Deepslate Diamond Ore | 16 AR |
| Gold Ingot | Deepslate Diamond Ore | 32 AR |
| Amethyst Shard | Deepslate Diamond Ore | 64 AR |

Example:
You want to craft a 16 AR chip. You already have the required amount of Deepslate Diamond Ore in your inventory.
Place an Emerald in the center and one Deepslate Diamond Ore in the right slot, then take the result from the crafting output. The datapack will automatically remove the remaining 15 Deepslate Diamond Ore from your inventory.
If you do not have enough Deepslate Diamond Ore, the recipe will not work.
