Scrolls and Curses

Scrolls and Curses adds a set of magic scrolls used on items to apply enchantments that the enchanting table cannot produce. The scrolls come in several tiers, including the Torn Magic Scroll, the Magic Scroll and the top tier named after its strength, and a better scroll gives better enchantments. Using a scroll does not require experience levels, and each use applies only one enchantment. An item can be enchanted with a scroll even when it already carries enchantments, and a scroll can be used from the offhand. Scrolls can also be found in dungeon loot.

The Cursed Scroll works differently from the others. In most cases it applies a curse enchantment, with a default 4% chance of giving a non-cursed treasure enchantment instead, and that chance rises with the level of the item being enchanted. The curse set includes Curse Ender, which can give the user a chaotic teleportation effect after taking damage, Curse Flames, which can set the user on fire after an attack, Curse Rust, which makes items lose durability faster, and Curse Vulnerability, which weakens protection enchantments.

The mod runs on the client and the server, and both need it. Its files are published for Fabric only, for game versions 1.20 – 1.21.1, and the source code and issue tracker are public under the MIT License, so it is open source. It requires Unremovable Effects, and Sinytra Connector is needed as well. Latest build 5.0.2+1.21 targets 1.21.1 and was published on 2024-10-21.
