If you’re a fan of Minecraft and the game of Blackjack, then you’ll be thrilled to know that it is possible to set up Blackjack on Minecraft. In this tutorial, we’ll take you through the process of setting up the game in a few easy steps.
Firstly, before we dive into the actual setup, it’s important to note that this will require some basic knowledge of command blocks and Minecraft commands. If you’re not familiar with these yet, don’t worry! We’ll be explaining everything step by step.

Step 1: Create a Command Block
The first thing you need to do is create a command block. To do this, open up your Minecraft world and press the ‘T’ key.
This will open up the chat window. Type ‘/give @p minecraft:command_block’ in the chat window and press enter. This will give you a command block.
Step 2: Place the Command Block
Now that you have your command block, it’s time to place it in your world. Find an appropriate location for your Blackjack game and place the command block down.
Step 3: Add Commands
Next, right-click on the command block to open its interface. In this interface, type ‘/scoreboard objectives add blackjack dummy Blackjack’ into the ‘Command’ field. This creates a scoreboard objective for our game that we can use later.
Now add another command ‘/scoreboard objectives add money dummy Money’. This creates another scoreboard objective that we’ll use for keeping track of each player’s money.
Next, type ‘/scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar Blackjack’. This sets our ‘Blackjack’ scoreboard objective to be displayed on the side of our screen during gameplay.
Finally, type ‘/scoreboard objectives setdisplay belowName Money’. This sets our ‘Money’ scoreboard objective to be displayed below each player’s name during gameplay.
Step 4: Set Up Game Mechanics
Now that we have our scoreboards set up, it’s time to set up the game mechanics. We’ll be using command blocks to handle all of the game’s rules and functions.
To start, place a command block next to your original one and type ‘/fill ~-2 ~-1 ~-2 ~2 ~-1 ~2 minecraft:quartz_block’. This creates a platform for our players to stand on during gameplay.
Now, place another command block on the opposite side of the platform and type ‘/setblock ~0 ~0 ~5 minecraft:gold_block’. This creates a ‘dealer’ block that will handle all of the game’s functions.
Step 5: Add Game Rules
Next, we’ll add some game rules. Place a command block next to the dealer block and type ‘/gamerule commandBlockOutput false’. This disables command block output messages from appearing in chat.
Now, place another command block next to the first one and type ‘/gamerule doMobSpawning false’. This prevents mobs from spawning in our Blackjack arena.
Finally, place one last command block next to the dealer block and type ‘/gamerule keepInventory true’. This allows players to keep their inventory upon death.
Step 6: Set Up Betting Mechanics
Now that we have our game rules set up, it’s time to set up the betting mechanics. Place a command block next to each player’s side of the platform (two total) and type ‘/scoreboard objectives add bet dummy Bet’. This creates a scoreboard objective for each player’s bet amount.
Next, place another command block next to each betting scoreboard and type ‘/execute @e[type=Player,score_bet_min=1] ~ ~-1.5 ~ detect ~0 ~-1.5 ~ minecraft:quartz_block 0 /scoreboard players remove @p[score_bet_min=1] money 1’. This removes one point from each player’s ‘Money’ scoreboard objective when they place a bet.
Now, place a command block next to the dealer block and type ‘/execute @e[type=Player,score_bet_min=1] ~ ~-1.5 ~ minecraft:quartz_block 0 /scoreboard objectives add hand dummy’. This creates a scoreboard objective for each player’s hand.
Step 7: Set Up Card Mechanics
Now that we have our betting mechanics set up, it’s time to set up the card mechanics. Place a command block next to the dealer block and type ‘/scoreboard objectives add deck dummy Deck’. This creates a scoreboard objective for our deck of cards.
Next, place another command block next to the dealer block and type ‘/scoreboard objectives add card dummy Card’. This creates a scoreboard objective for each card in our deck.
Now, place one last command block next to the dealer block and type ‘/fill ~-1 ~ ~-2 ~1 ~-1.5 ~2 minecraft:air 0 replace minecraft:quartz_block’. This removes all of the quartz blocks from our platform so that we can draw cards on it.
Finally, place another command block next to the dealer block and type ‘/summon ArmorStand ~0.5 ~-1.4 ~ {CustomName:”BlackjackDeck”,NoGravity:1b}’. This summons an armor stand that will represent our deck of cards.
Step 8: Set Up Winning Mechanics
Now that we have our card mechanics set up, it’s time to set up the winning mechanics. Place a command block next to each player’s side of the platform (two total) and type ‘/execute @e[type=Player,score_hand_min=21,score_bust=0] ~ ~-1.5 minecraft:quartz_block 0 /scoreboard players add @p[score_hand_min=21,score_bust=0] money 2’. This adds two points to the winning player’s ‘Money’ scoreboard objective when they win.
Finally, place a command block next to the dealer block and type ‘/execute @e[type=ArmorStand,name=BlackjackDeck] ~ ~-1.5 minecraft:quartz_block 0 /scoreboard players add @e[type=Player,score_bust=0] hand 1’. This adds one point to each player’s ‘Hand’ scoreboard objective when they draw a card.
Congratulations! You have successfully set up Blackjack on Minecraft.
Now all that’s left is to invite some friends and start playing. Have fun!
