Balatro : BTL is a MODPACK thats main goal is to make playing balatro as agonizing as possible.

(This release is meant for playtesting ONLY. it is not polished and serves as a vessel for FEEDBACK)
(So stuff like sprites and consumable animations are yet to be added.)
(Additionally, I have yet to make x1 files as i lost access to their sprites beforehand. so please bear with 2x sprites if you werent doing so for some reason.)

PLEASE PERSONALLY MESSAGE ME IF YOU WANT YOUR MOD REMOVED FROM THIS PACK.

[Difficulties are Adjusted with The Wall Mods Config, I recommend starting with the lowest possible one being 0.25x]

Additionally, please keep every message below this relating to feedback rather than suggestion, if you want to suggest something feel free to ping me in #⚙・modding-general in moderation.

balatro: total death edition

[small sonnet]

so like. what smods version does it use

ill just guess

[jovial rivet]

It should work with any of the latest releases

[small sonnet]

so like as a vessel for feedback do u mean bug reports too

cuz like theres some shenanigans going on with blind rewards? i got money from a boss that didnt say it had a reward and got no money from the big blind which i redeemed a card at the run start specifically to get money from

i havent seen any basic jokers yet. are those supposed to appear really often or

[jovial rivet]

I havent implemented them yet 😭 i thought i removed them from the public doc

[small sonnet]

o

u did and then i saw one in like #⚙・modding-general or smth

and accidentally conflated the two docs

[jovial rivet]

Thats for the hopeful future when i clean up alot of stuff with how the modpack plays out first

[small sonnet]

its extremely easy to abuse the lack of unlocked hands by opening planet packs and always picking the same planet card

is that an intentional design choice or more of a coincidental result

[small sonnet]

got a build that's probably going to ante 12 or 13 but i don't think it can survive to 16 pretty much no matter what

[jovial rivet]

More of a "That's a problem, wont have a solution but will have a gimmick"

alright trying this mod with 0.25x blind scaling

gg

[snow tusk]

this error appears when I try to open it

I fixed it by activating pixel art smoothing, maybe there are no 1x files on something?

got this error when opening the stake tab in run info

I was in fool's stake if that helps

[jovial rivet]

Yes, I did mention that sprites do not have their 1x counterparts as I lost the sprites due to switching phones and not having backups.
