Curse of Curses
by MelanX
Curse of Curses applies random curse enchantments to players' items, with the chance set in the server config.
What it does
Between midnight and 3 a.m. in game time, the mod applies random curse enchantments to random enchantable items held by players, three times during that window. The counter resets each day. The chance of a curse landing is configurable in the server config, and the mod can also add curses when too many players are sleeping, so that sleeping does not skip the window.
The mod supports Forge and NeoForge. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files cover 31 release versions 1.14.4 – 26.2 and are released under the MIT License, which makes the code open source. Links to the source code, issue tracker and wiki are available.
Key features
Random curse enchantments
Enchantable items held by players can receive a random curse enchantment during the midnight-to-3 a.m. window.
Configurable chance
The probability of a curse is set in the server config, so server owners decide how often curses land.
Sleep-aware curses
When many players sleep, the mod adds curses as well, so sleeping does not avoid the effect.
Curse enchantment support
The author recommends pairing the mod with other mods that add curse enchantments, as curses come from a shared pool.

What the author says
This is a mod which applies random Curse enchantments at three random times from midnight to 3am in-game. These times are resettet each day. The chance is configurable in the server config. To prevent this, you simply need to sleep. But be aware, too many sleeping may add curses, too. This is configurable as well…
