I've decided to create a Poker playing cards resource pack. This pack is designed to be used by map makers, datapack creators and server owners. Due to limitations of the game's resource pack handling in worlds and servers, you need to merge the pack contents with whatever resource pack you have already installed in your world or server.

How to install the RP

As stated, this resource pack is designed to be used as a part of your custom map or in your server. You can of course install it in your personal resource packs, inside the ".minecraft/resourcepacks" directory. True purpose however is to serve as a part of your world's resource pack or your server's resource pack. Since worlds and servers can have only one resource pack, any multiple resource packs must be merged into a single one. I assume map makers and server owners have some knowledge on how to install and merge resource packs. Don't forget to check for collisions! If multiple resource packs modify the same items, you need to merge contents of the JSON files. Check for CustomModelData numbers collisions as well! This resource pack is registered in MC Datapacks registry (resource pack has it's assigned ID number 22, check here), however I cannot guarantee there's not going to be any collision. It's for sure there won't be a collision with a resource pack or data pack registered in the same registry. But not everyone uses the same registry, not everyone uses any registry at all. You'll have to do necessary changes in case of collisions before you can start using the pack. In that case the following section no longer applies.

How to use the RP

In case you didn't do any changes into the custo model data numbers, it should have the following format:


22igtt

"i" is a single digit item ID, "g" is a single digit group ID, and "tt" is a double digit texture ID. This format has been chosen to give the textures a unique identificator.

This table shows all the textures available:




Item name defines which item the texture is available for. If you want to obtain an item without any additional datapack, you need to have cheats enabled or be opped on server to give yourself an item with NBT data.



For example: To give yourself a queen of hearts card, you run following command:

/give @s minecraft:paper{CustomModelData:221411}
To give yourself a poker chip, run following commnad:

/give @s minecraft:sunflower{CustomModelData:222101}

This resource pack is best usable on semi-vanilla Survival server with "Custom Roleplay Data" datapack for best immersion and survival-style gameplay. Then you don't need to have cheats enabled or be opped on the server, and you can simply use this command on your item of choice (paper for cards, sunflower for chips):

/trigger CustomModelData set #modelnumwhere "#modelnum" refers to the model number you want to use (refer to the table above).

Credit

Please give me credit in your custom map's readme file. If you want to use the pack in your server, it's suitable to put credit in your server's website (if you have one). As long as the pack is not claimed for own, I don't mind not mentioning its usage in server's resource pack. But please give me a credit in map's readme.
