Voodoo Curses
by Poison6598
Voodoo Curses lets players place voodoo dolls that curse or bless other players through custom item mechanics, and it is built for Fabric.
What it does
Voodoo dolls are the central item: a player uses one on another player to apply a curse or a blessing. The effects are tied to custom item mechanics, so one player can affect another through an object rather than a command. The effects listed for the mod include Clover Luck, Cake Speed, Netherite Pickaxe Haste, the beacon effects granted by a Compacted Block Netherite, and Powder Snow Bucket Slowness, along with targeted penalties that hurt a player for wearing certain enchantments or armor, and a Compacted Block Netherite target that can be whittled down to half a heart.
The mod is published for Fabric only, with files for 1.20.1, 1.20.2 and 1.20.3. The latest file, 1.1.3-1.20.1 for 1.20.1, was uploaded on 2026-02-26. Client and server both need the mod, so every player on a server that runs it must install it too. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Voodoo dolls
A doll can be used on another player to apply a curse or a blessing from a single item.
Blessing and curse effects
Effects such as Clover Luck, Cake Speed and Netherite Pickaxe Haste are applied to the targeted player.
Targeted penalties
Some curses deal damage based on what the target wears, such as enchantments on a grindstone target or armor on a blast furnace target.
Custom item mechanics
Curses run through custom item behaviour instead of commands, so the effects fit into normal play.
