Hexed
by BackupCup
Hexed adds hexes to Minecraft Java Edition, curses that attach to enchantments and equipment with both a buff and a penalty, for the Fabric loader on 1.20.1.
What it does
Hexes take the place of the two usual choices on a piece of gear. Each hex grants a strong effect and carries its own downside, so a player weighs the risk against the reward before applying one. Some hexes also combine with other hexes for a stronger result, at a higher cost. Hexed follows the idea from the Calamity Mod for Terraria, where a boon comes with a burden.
The mod is published for Fabric on 1.20.1 only, with the latest beta file released on 2024-04-21. It requires Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, and it runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the project has public links to its source, issue tracker and wiki.
Key features
Hexes on equipment
Gear can carry hexes that alter how enchantments and items behave, with effects that range from offensive to defensive.
Hex downsides
Every hex has a penalty attached, so a stronger effect means accepting a cost that players must plan around.
Hex combinations
Certain hexes work together, giving a greater power than either one alone at a higher total cost.
Trident hex
One hex makes a thrown trident spawn an explosion where it hits, damaging enemies in the area.
Large hex set
The mod includes more than twenty-five hexes, and at least four are available for each piece of equipment.
