Cursed Tools
by FractalCoder
Cursed Tools is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.4 that adds tools with risky side effects, such as a scythe that hurts the player while it is held.
What it does
Cursed Tools adds a set of tools built around a trade-off: each one gives a useful effect and a drawback. The Ghost Scythe shoots a harmless air blast like a breeze ball when used on the ground, but it damages the player while it stays in hand. The Haunted Hoe has a chance to summon a skeleton when it tills land at night. The mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it. Its files target 1.21.4 only, and the author notes advise using it in worlds where losing progress would be a problem.
