Cursed Coin
by MorgulForge
Cursed Coin is a lightweight standalone NeoForge artifact mod that adds a single mysterious cursed item to survival and dark fantasy play.
What it does
The coin is an unknown item with no clear origin or stated purpose. Players obtain it through a rare chance when zombies and skeletons fall, with skeletons slightly more likely to yield it. Once activated, the coin emits a dark ambient sound and a disturbing effect, and it offers a benefit that is never explained, leaving only questions behind. Its use is practical in a narrow sense, yet its presence is hard to ignore.
The mod fits inside survival, dark fantasy and horror-themed modpacks, where it adds atmosphere and unease without changing balance or progression. Because it is a standalone artifact, it needs no other mod to run. It is published for NeoForge only, for Minecraft 1.21.4, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
