      /* Technical highlights */

      • Cards are defined in /data/cobblecard/cards.json with rarity weights.

      • Player collection stored as a list of card IDs + count in player NBT.

      • Pack opening uses a server‑side RNG with client‑side animation.

      • Loot table injection via global loot modifiers (Fabric).

      • Fully server‑authoritative – prevents duplication exploits.
