About

Description

Minecraft, but everything you touch turns to gold.

Midas Curse is a challenge mod for streams, videos and friend groups. Curse yourself (or your friends) and watch the world turn to gold around you... including your dinner.

Features

  • Golden Footsteps: every block you walk on turns into a gold block. Leave a shining trail across the world.
  • Golden Hunger: bread, steak, apples, even cake... they all turn to gold the moment you try to eat them. Only golden food (golden carrots, golden apples) can keep you alive.
  • Golden Statues: mobs you kill become gold statues and drop gold nuggets instead of their loot.
  • Multiplayer modes: let the curse spread like a plague, or play tag: hit someone to pass the curse on.
  • Fully configurable: toggle each feature, set chances, the spread mode and the tag cooldown.
  • Server-side: install it on the server only. Players can join with a normal client.

Commands (operators)

Command Effect
/midas curse <players> Curse players
/midas lift <players> Lift the curse
/midas status Show who is cursed and the spread mode

The curse is stored as the player tag midascurse.cursed, so it survives death and relogging and works with selectors like @a[tag=midascurse.cursed].

Config

config/midascurse-local.toml: footsteps (on/off, chance, full blocks only), hunger, statues, golden loot, spread mode (NONE / SPREAD / TAG), tag cooldown, curse on first join, effects.

Data pack tags: midascurse:immune (blocks that never turn to gold) and midascurse:golden_food (food you can still eat).

Good to know

  • Chests, furnaces, beds and other block entities, fluids, unbreakable blocks, obsidian (portals keep working) and farmland never turn to gold.
  • Mobs keep the gear they picked up. Only their normal loot turns to gold.
  • The curse only spreads where PvP is allowed.

FAQ

How do I survive?
Farm carrots (don't walk on the farmland!) and craft golden carrots from all the gold you're producing.

Will it destroy my base?
Only where cursed players walk. Lift the curse any time with /midas lift.

Do clients need the mod?
No, it runs on the server.

Fabric?
Not yet.
