Wandering Cursebringer
by UltrusBot
Wandering Cursebringer adds an illager trader who sells curses, spells and a cursed altar to players on Fabric and NeoForge.
What it does
The Wandering Cursebringer is an illager who sells curses that make the game harder, and a return buff that rewards players who accept them. Curses such as Curse Gluttony speed up hunger depletion while eating also restores more, and Curse Insomnia lengthens sleep in beds at night while granting speed and damage. Curse Nyctophobia deals damage to players who stay in the dark too long, shows a creeping dark overlay on screen, and raises damage dealt the longer they stay there.
The trader also offers spells drawn from illager magic, and a Cursed Altar that removes curses in exchange for experience. Many more curses are planned, and the author notes that only four curses are implemented so far, with balancing and textures still in alpha. Files are published for 1.21.1 on Fabric and NeoForge, under the MIT License, and the mod is open source with a public source code repository and issue tracker. It is client and server, so the server and every player need it.

What the author says
NOTE: This mod is still in alpha, so balancing & textures are likely to change. The Wandering Cursebringer is a new mob, occasionally spawning in your Minecraft world, selling you mystical curses you can apply to yourself, twisting your experience by adding some new challenge, in return for a buff.
