The Curse of Ramses II
by Eldren
Players who want a survival run under nine curses can use The Curse of Ramses II, a Forge and NeoForge magic mod whose royal seal binds the player to escalating punishments.
What it does
When the Seal of Kadesh is worn, the player is tied to a chain of curses that intensify as the run goes on. The curses reach into combat, experience, trading, inventory control, hunger and death. Each curse is a linked stage of one progression system, not a separate debuff, and the sequence moves forward over time. Some reversals grant power, some lift long-standing burdens and some decisions permanently set the path ahead.
The mod is built around dynastic lore and survival pressure, with Guilt, Mercy, Satiety and Debt tracked through HUD systems. Death inverts into a high-risk, high-reward mechanic, and Ember and Duat related rituals drive further stages. It is designed for long-form survival play, including modpacks, and it requires Curios API, Geckolib and Patchouli. The full in-game Patchouli manual documents the rituals, riddles and lore.
The mod supports client and server environments, so both the server and each player need it. Builds exist for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the NeoForge file for 1.21.1 is a beta release. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
