Cursed
by natdertale
Cursed is a Fabric magic mod for Minecraft 1.21.8 that adds forbidden ways to gain power, including a fire that cannot be put out and a ghost form.
What it does
Cursed Fire is the core mechanic. A fire lit on Soul Sand placed directly above Budding Amethyst has a small chance to become Cursed Fire, and a Stick can ignite the same unextinguishable flame. Cursed Fire is only put out by death, and it burns through the inventory first, consuming flammable items before it turns on the player.
The mod lets a player transform into a living entity ghost that renders invisible and cannot directly interact with or harm living beings. A transformed player becomes undead, can interact with both ghosts and the living, and burns under light. A Cleaver transforms a killed entity that consumed Cursed Fire into a ghost, and a Monster Nether can snatch a Cleaver left unattended on the ground.
Cursed requires Cardinal Components API and Fabric API. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21.8, with 0.1.2 as the latest file from 2025-11-22. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

How it compares
More Curses is another Fabric curse mod for 1.21.1, released under the MIT License, and it runs on client and server like Cursed. TSFlareon's Cool Curses targets 1.21.1 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, is released under the MIT License, and is server required with the client optional, so it differs from Cursed's both-sides setup.
