Curse & Enchantment Overhaul
by Vaerph
Curse & Enchantment Overhaul changes how curses and enchantments work on equipment, adding 8 new curses and 13 new enchantments to the vanilla roster.
What it does
The mod reworks curses so they behave more like deals with a devil: each curse carries a benefit alongside its drawback, and several curses vary in function. New enchantments cover mob armor, horse armor, wolf armor, ghast harness and tools, with some available only through villager trading, treasures or an anvil. Full armor sets can grant special bonuses, and a few enchantments such as blast protection, fire protection and consecration grant damage immunity.
Enchantments follow the regular rules of exclusivity, incompatible only with their own counterpart. Tethers and Untethers link items to the corporeal plane or the overworld, and the Unbinding curse causes invisibility upon movement. Curse Augmentation and Curse Diminishing each have a strong synergy with the curses they modify, lessening drawbacks. The server must run it, while players may leave it out. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Devil-deal curses

Thirteen new enchantments
New enchantments extend armor, mob armor and tool options, and some appear only through villager trading or treasures.
Full-set bonuses
Wearing a complete set of certain armor grants special bonuses, such as extra max health per piece worn.
Curse modifiers
Curse Augmentation and Curse Diminishing change how other curses behave, with the drawbacks of one curse reduced by its counterpart.

What the author says
It has always annoyed me how minecraft's curses render a piece of equipment virtually useless, and how a fair deal of the regular enchantments are often just objectively the worse option. This pack tries to add function and synergies to curses, and flesh out the existing enchantment roster in a vanilla-like way. All…
