AbyssCurse
by dwilczek80
AbyssCurse is a Forge adventure mod that applies a curse tier to each dimension in a stack, so the deeper a player descends the more severe the curse becomes.
What it does
The mod is built around dimension stacking through Immersive Portals, which is required. Each layer of the stack is assigned a curse tier, and ascending back toward the surface lessens the consequences while descending increases them. The behaviour of the curse is set in one config file that the game creates on first launch, and the list of positions inside it decides which tier each layer receives.
What started as an internal core mod for a modpack inspired by Made Abyss was later published on its own for anyone constructing dimension-stacking experiences. Dimensions with the Cosmos namespace are ignored and excluded from the curse system automatically, and the mod integrates with space mods such as Ad Astra. Client and server both need the mod, and it is released under the MIT License as open source.
The mod runs on Forge for 1.20.1 only, with the 1.0.0 file published on 2026-04-05. Immersive Portals for (Neo)Forge must be installed alongside it.
Key features
Layer-based curses
Each dimension in the stack carries its own curse, and the tier depends on how far down the stack it sits.
Tier 6 animal transformation
At Tier 6 a player may be transformed into a random animal through Min's Morph Mod, with a 50/50 chance of instant death.
Safeguards at high tiers
Only death removes the curse, and a config option can save the player from certain death at Tier 7 and above.
Bedrock replacement fix
A bugfix works around a known Forge problem in Immersive Portals, where bedrock can be swapped out incorrectly while dimensions are stacked.
Potion and drug effects
Curse effects use standard potion effects, and a PsychedeliCraft integration adds drug effects such as LSD and peyote at higher tiers.
