Curses and Cryptics

Curses and Cryptics builds on the curse enchantments already in vanilla Minecraft. It adds several new curses, each with a unique effect rather than a plain anti-enchantment. Curse Instability makes a cursed item risk breaking when used on an anvil, Curse Immutability prevents it from being modified at an anvil, Curse Miasma widens the radius at which mobs sense the player, Curse Quixotism hides the durability bar, and Curse Obscuring hides the enchantment list in item tooltips. The curses are meant to hinder somewhat without becoming annoying.

The mod also adds a Cryptic Enchanted Book, which an anvil combines with an item to apply a random enchantment at the level the book specifies, and a grindstone combined with the book grants a decent amount of experience. Loot items include the Misappropriation Sigil, which curses an item to prevent it from being used, and Blessed Whetstones that remove a random enchantment, a random curse, or curses while leaving other enchantments intact. The mod requires Fabric API and works alongside Just Enough Items (JEI) when it is installed. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, and the code is open source.
