The Cursed Heart
by AnooshMods
The Cursed Heart adds a monster that lives in dark biomes, and a curse that a player takes on after killing it.
What it does
The Cursed Heart is a hostile mob that appears deep within dark biomes. Its look is that of a heart-shaped horror, and players who find one have two choices: fight it or leave it alone. Killing it in one hit is possible, but the kill leaves the player with a deadly curse. Under that curse health drains steadily, and food runs out faster, so the player has to find ways to endure and survive until the curse is lifted.
The mod is for Forge servers and players on Minecraft 1.20.1. Eating grants an extra row of hearts, which the mod presents as the main way to hold out against the curse. Installation requires Geckolib, and the mod is published only for Forge on 1.20.1, with the 1.0.0 file released on 2025-08-04. The Cursed Heart runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need the mod.
Key features

Extra hearts from eating
Eating food grants an additional row of hearts, giving players a way to survive the curse.
Fast, dangerous combat
The monster moves quickly, so players must strike at the right moment or face a fast retaliation.
