Curse of Pandora
by LightLand
Curse of Pandora lets players wear charms on a Pandora necklace or bracelet, with seven curse charms that trade limits for boosts.
What it does
The mod adds 72 artifact items, most of them Curios charms that give special effects or attribute boosts, plus four sword-shaped weapons for magic attacks. A new player receives a necklace with all seven curses. Regular charms can be smelted down and recrafted, and attribute charms are found in loot chests. Curios API, L2 Library and L2 Complements are required, while L2 Hostility is optional and makes attribute charms craftable.
The mod is built around the Pandora jewelry idea, where a necklace holds 18 charms and a bracelet holds 9. Charms can be edited in the item or in the Pandora tab while the holder is equipped. Special charms only activate once a player wears a set number of curse charms, which is the main theme. Losing the curses is survivable, since a nether star and other ingredients craft all seven at once. The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, and runs on client and server for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1.
