Tidal Observation Card

# Tidal Observation Card **Tidal Observation Card** is a daily risk-and-reward card system for **Minecraft NeoForge 1.21.1**. Unlike a simple daily reward or lottery mod, this mod is built around a two-step decision process: 1. **Observe** an unknown card by paying an observation cost. 2. After the card is revealed, decide whether to **redeem** the reward or **abandon** the card. This means every card is not just a reward, but a small resource decision. Players need to judge whether the revealed reward is worth the additional redemption cost, or whether it is better to stop and take the loss. ## Core Gameplay Each day, players receive a set of **12 Tidal Observation Cards**. Before a card is revealed, its reward is unknown. Players must first pay the observation cost to flip the card and reveal its content. After observation, the player can choose: - **Redeem** the card and pay the redemption cost to obtain the reward. - **Abandon** the card and give up the reward. Observation cost and redemption cost are separated, allowing modpack creators to design different resource sinks and reward strategies. ## Features - 12 daily observation cards. - Daily refresh system. - Observation cost and redemption cost are separated. - Configurable costs, currencies, reward pools, and compensation. - Creative Mode players do not consume costs. - Texture-driven card UI. - Dark-gold tarot-inspired visual style. - Roman numerals from I to V for card tiers. - Shortcut key support. - Optional **Curios** compatibility. - Tidal Observation Card can work from a general Curios slot. - Observation Vouchers and Redemption Vouchers. - Voucher-priority payment logic. - Designed for modpacks with economy, progression, or daily decision systems. ## Vouchers The mod includes two types of vouchers: - **Observation Vouchers** - **Redemption Vouchers** Vouchers are divided into five tiers.
