Cursed Craft
Cursed Craft changes how water, lava, pistons, skeletons and zombies behave, so players can test odd world rules on a Fabric server or client.
What it does
Cursed Craft makes water and lava flow without limit and lets lava move faster than normal. An infinite water and infinite lava option is included, although the author notes these are laggy on large builds. A piston option lets pistons push a very large number of blocks at once, which can freeze the world while it runs.
Mobs are changed as well: skeletons fire rapidly and carry a stronger, skeleton-like attack, and zombies are made much stronger. The mod is configured through its own settings screen, where every option is off by default, so nothing changes until a player or server owner turns it on. Cursed Craft is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric. It requires Fabric API, Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.20.1, 1.20.4, 1.21.1, 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 2.3 for 1.21.11 as the latest file.
Key features
Unlimited water and lava
Water and lava can flow forever and lava moves faster than usual, which breaks normal terrain rules.
Piston overload
An option lets pistons push an enormous number of blocks, which can stall the world while the push runs.
Rapid skeletons
Skeletons fire at a much higher rate and gain an attack that behaves like the skeleton mob's.
Stronger zombies
Zombies are made much more dangerous than in vanilla, for players who want a harsher challenge.
Configurable options
Each change is a separate switch in the settings screen, and all of them start disabled.
