Summary
Addon for Curses Revamped that adds new, hidden, and dangerous curses with research, fake enchantments, cursed books, and Ominous Offering.
Description
Curses Revamped: Additional Curses
The full curse system addon for Curses Revamped.
This addon turns curses into a real gamble. Curses can hide behind fake vanilla enchantment names, unknown curses must be researched, cursed books can be dangerous just to hold, and enchanting can offer stronger gear at a cost.
Required Dependency
This mod requires Curses Revamped Base 1.2.0 or newer.
Base page: Curses Revamped
Install both files for your loader:
- Fabric: Curses Revamped Base + Curses Revamped Additional
- NeoForge: Curses Revamped Base + Curses Revamped Additional
Do not install only this Additional jar. In 1.2+, Additional is a true addon and depends on Base for shared curse logic, discovery data, cursed boons, commands, and vanilla curse support.
Client And Server
Additional should be installed on both the server and the client.
The server needs it for custom curse behavior. The client needs it for research UI, fake/hidden curse tooltips, scrambled curse names, and expanded tooltip details.
What This Adds
- Hidden curses that start unknown per player and per world
- Fake enchantment disguises, including anvil fake-name trolling
- Enchanting-table curse research with XP, lapis, and bookshelf costs
- Ominous Offering: stronger enchanting-table rolls with guaranteed curse risk
- Cursed boons that can make some cursed items tempting
- Cursed books in loot
- Held cursed-book effects
- Bad Omen and Hero of the Village curse chance changes
- Automatic equipping for visible cursed enchanting results
- Custom curse tooltips, debug support, and admin discovery commands
How Curse Discovery Works
Unknown Curses
Curses start unknown for each player in each world. Unknown curses can appear as scrambled Minecraft obfuscated text, or sometimes pretend to be believable vanilla enchantments.
Examples:
- Curse of Fire can appear as Fire Protection
- Curse of Projectiles can appear as Projectile Protection
- Curse of Explosions can appear as Blast Protection
- Curse of Vulnerability can appear as Protection
- Curse of Counterfeit can appear as Protection
- Curse of Fragility can appear as Unbreaking
- Curse of Pulling can appear as Knockback or Punch
- Curse of Backlash can appear as Thorns
- Curse of Concrete Legs can appear as Feather Falling
- Curse of Dead Wings can appear as Unbreaking or Mending
Research
To fully reveal a curse:
- Put a cursed book or cursed item in slot 0 of an enchanting table.
- Put lapis in slot 1.
- Press the Research button.
Base research costs:
- Cursed book: 5 XP levels + 2 lapis
- Cursed item, tool, or armor: 12 XP levels + 4 lapis
Bookshelves matter. Missing bookshelves make research more expensive.
Protection-style fake curses can also enter a middle state: taking matching damage can reveal the real curse name, but the detailed effect stays locked until research.
Ominous Offering And Cursed Enchanting
Ominous Offering
Ominous Offering is a rare enchanting-table option that gives stronger enchantment rolls at the cost of guaranteed curse risk.
Bad Omen makes Ominous Offering and extra curses more likely. Hero of the Village reduces curse pressure.
Ominous Offering can also very rarely roll one vanilla enchantment above its normal max level, controlled by hidden config.
Cursed Boons
Some newly cursed items can receive a small positive boon:
- Weapons can gain attack damage
- Tools can gain mining speed
- Armor can gain armor or toughness
- Bows and crossbows can gain projectile damage
The goal is simple: make players ask, "Is this item worth the curse?"
Cursed Equipping
If an enchanted item receives a visible curse, it can automatically equip into its matching slot so the player cannot dodge the curse by leaving it in the enchanting table.
Hidden fake curses avoid auto-equipping so they do not immediately reveal themselves.
Additional Curse List
Curse of Fragility
Leveled curse. Items can take extra random durability damage when damaged. Can fake as Unbreaking.
Curse of Hunger
Durability loss can consume hunger instead. With Fragility, the hunger cost can become much harsher.
Curse of Echoes
Durability damage can repeat back into the item.
Curse of Soulbinding
Soulbound items stay in your inventory after death and cannot be thrown out or dropped.
Curse of Backlash
When you damage something, there is a chance you take damage yourself.
- Level 1: 8% chance
- Level 2: 17% chance
- Level 3: 25% chance
Can fake as Thorns.
Curse of Blindness
Applies to helmets and anything worn on the head. Can blind the wearer.
Curse of Pulling
When you hit a target, you are pulled toward them. Works on melee weapons, bows, and crossbows. Knockback and Punch make the pull stronger.
Curse of Concrete Legs
Applies to boots and leggings. Reverse Feather Falling: fall damage starts sooner and scales harder.
Curse of No Jumping
Applies to boots and leggings. Blocks normal jumping and swimming upward.
Curse of Curses
Acts like getting hit with all supported curse effects at once. Rare because it is intentionally awful.
If worn on armor, it can also project held-item debuffs onto the item in your hand.
Curse of Bad Omen
Applies Bad Omen. The longer you survive with it, the higher the level can become.
Curse of Reduced Reach
Four-level curse that reduces reach. Armor gives a passive reach penalty; held items give an active penalty.
Curse of Fire
Armor curse with 4 levels. Can fake as Fire Protection, but fire damage is increased and taking damage can ignite you.
Curse of Projectiles
Armor curse with 4 levels. Can fake as Projectile Protection, but projectile damage is increased.
Curse of Explosions
Armor curse with 4 levels. Can fake as Blast Protection, but explosion damage is increased and explosions can jolt you upward.
Curse of Vulnerability
Armor curse with 4 levels. Can fake as Protection, but all incoming damage is increased.
Curse of Counterfeit
Armor curse. Can fake as Protection, but the cursed armor piece gives no armor or toughness damage reduction. Other enchantment effects still work. Idea: Melmi.
Curse of Crossed Wires
Reverses controls, including movement, jumping/sneaking, and mouse buttons.
Curse of Dead Wings
Applies to elytra. Elytra flight can randomly fail for a short unpredictable time. Can fake as Unbreaking or Mending.
Curse of Mercy
Can prevent killing blows by leaving the target alive at 1 health.
Curse of Magnetism
Pulls nearby dropped items and incoming arrows toward the cursed player.
Debugging And Config
Debug Command
/cursesrevamped debug item
