TSFlareon's Cool Curses
by TSFlareon
TSFlareon's Cool Curses adds 13 curses to the Magic category, which players attach to items to change combat, movement and inventory effects.
What it does
Each curse is a separate effect on a cursed item. Curse Blindness makes anything the player attacks glow, Curse Boom makes an attack with the cursed item explode, and Curse Decay applies the wither effect on attacks and on damage taken. Curse Desire grants regeneration while the item is held or worn, and Curse Gravity makes the wearer float at random. Curse End pushes the wearer toward damage in water and can teleport them at random. Curse Haunting summons vexes that attack the player, and Curse Infestation spreads silverfish from struck targets that later burrow out and attack.
The author notes that taking a cursed item out of the inventory causes withdrawal damage, scaled to how much the item was used. The mod is server required with the client optional, and it is released under the MIT License. It is not open source. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, all for 1.21.1. A datapack version also exists, and the author asks that its file be placed in both the resource pack folder and the datapack folder.
