Curses Removed
by Luc1fer1o
Curses Removed keeps curse enchantments out of normal play on NeoForge 1.21.1, stripping them from items that carry the minecraft:curse tag.
What it does
The mod checks enchantments against the shared minecraft:curse enchantment tag rather than a fixed list, so curses added by other mods are caught as long as they are tagged. It does not hardcode the binding and vanishing curses alone. Enchant applications that use a tagged curse are blocked, and the enchantment fails to apply.
Cleanup runs during gameplay on regular enchanted items, enchanted books through their stored enchantment data, player inventories and dropped item entities as they enter the world. When a cursed enchantment is found, only the enchantment component is removed and the item itself remains intact. Curse enchantment IDs stay registered, so datapacks, loot tables and saved data that reference them keep working, and they still appear in command suggestions.
The mod is server-side only, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. It is published for NeoForge on 1.21.1 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest file, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Tag-based curse detection
Enchantments are recognized through the minecraft:curse tag, so curses from other mods are handled without a dedicated patch.
Cleanup of items and books
Tools, armor, weapons and enchanted books have their curse component removed while the item itself stays intact.
Blocked enchant applications
Attempts to apply a tagged curse through an enchanting table or anvil fail, so curses do not reach the item.
Inventory and drop cleaning
Player inventories and dropped item entities are cleaned during gameplay, including items entering the world.
