Allow us to disable what we want.

Would be fun to disable the entire joker aspect and even just play the poker "normally".


Just as a cool custom gamemode.

Challenge mode #20 is literally disabling Jokers.

I ask a separate poker mode, not a challenge to disable jokers only.

Why asking for a cool feature is a dumb idea?

Your cool feature is "why can't i just play poker"

I enjoy the game, having more extra mode is fine too!

That whould be to strong, but a mechanic which you can unlock which gives you a limited amount of disables could be fun (repeatable or scaling, like disable 10% of unlocked stuff for example).

[Pachislot Rockman Ability]

the problem is you need to balance the scaling appropriately since jokers are such an important game mechanic, how much should the next set of blinds be worth if you only turn off the jokers? Hell, what if you just had nothing but the base 52 card deck with no improvements? What should the next set of blinds be worth?

honestly it wouldn't shock me if this game gets workshop support down the line so maybe someone will actually make that.

I'm asking for an extra mode. Not to do the same actual goals.

How about you simply buy a poker game?

Because I like this one.

Allowing to disable the unlockable jokers would be nice... otherwise the further you go the more frustrating RNG can be due to so many crappy cards.

Maybe thats just me though, I like to feel like I'm getting stronger in games.

[Kadarus]

Eh, a lot of unlockables are pretty strong, like the uncommon suit jokers, the Duo/Trio/Family, the Brainstorm, I don't think a run without unlockables is easier.

Allowing to disable jokers lets people play the game how they want, not really many downsides. There will probably be a mod for it anyway.

To the original poster, this is how you can disable jokers yourself...
1 - Right click Balatro.exe, open with 7zip
2 - Open game.lua with notepad
3 - Scroll down to the list of jokers (search for j_joker)
4 - For each joker you want to disable, find "rarity = " and change to rarity = 4... setting to 4 makes it legendary, and also takes it out of the shop pool
5 - Save file, close it, and accept 7zip confirmation

Thanks a lot very useful, one question: does it work if I set rarity to 5? (so it's not affected by "The Soul" Spectral card?

Pretty sure that by default 5 would give errors, since the code that sorts the jokers into four rarity pools on load has an array of 4 arrays while this would try to use a 5th. This should be fixed by searching for "self.P_JOKER_RARITY_POOLS" in the same file and adding another ",{}" on the next line, I think.
And yes, that would be better since Spazz' solution would indeed make your banned jokes appear when you use the soul card.

Might want to disable Joker slot (set to 0, like in Challenge #20) too, otherwise Judgement and Booster pack can still create them.

And how to disable a Voucher?
I changed "set" to nil value, but game crash time to time.
Is there a better solution?
