Charms
by YaBoiChips
Charms adds charm items that grant potion effects when held in the off hand or placed in Curios API charm slots.
What it does
Charms is a Forge mod that adds charm items giving potion effects. A charm is used by holding it in the off hand or by placing it in a charm slot provided by Curios API, which the mod requires. Some charms carry a second effect level, and the effects are modeled on vanilla potions, so they fit into the usual brewing and combat routine.
Charm base items can be found in loot chests, and the charm recipes use craftable containers. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Forge across 8 release versions, 1.16.4 – 1.20.1, and the latest file is 2.0.1-1.20.1 for 1.20.1, released 2023-11-21. The code is public, but the mod is distributed under a custom license and is not open source.
Key features
Potion-effect charms
Each charm applies a potion effect while it is equipped, without needing to drink a brew.
Off-hand use
Charms can be held in the off hand, so the effect works alongside a weapon or tool in the main hand.
Curios charm slots
With Curios API installed, charms can be placed in charm slots instead of the off hand.
Second effect level
Some charms reach a second effect level, giving a stronger version of their potion effect.
