Sneaky Curses

Sneaky Curses makes cursed items feel uncertain again by hiding curse enchantments behind unreadable enchantment runes. Instead of instantly knowing an item is cursed, you'll have to decide whether it's worth the risk. 🌀

The mod adds a subtle visual hint without giving everything away: cursed items can display a distinctive red enchantment glint, making them feel suspicious while keeping their exact curses hidden. ✨ Curses can be revealed through gameplay over time or uncovered immediately by combining the item with an amethyst shard in an anvil.

It is a lightweight twist on vanilla enchantments that adds tension to loot, trading, and enchanted books without changing Minecraft's core gameplay. 🌟

• 🌀 Hidden Curses: Curse enchantments are disguised as mysterious enchantment runes on item tooltips.
• ✨ Cursed Glint: Cursed enchanted items can display a red enchantment glint for easier identification.
• ⚒️ Reveal with Amethyst: Combine an item with an amethyst shard in an anvil to uncover its hidden curses.
• 🎲 Natural Discovery: Wearing or using cursed equipment can gradually reveal its curses over time.
• 📚 Enchanted Book Support: Hide curses on enchanted books to make loot, trades, and rewards less predictable.
• 🎛️ Highly Configurable: Customize curse hiding, glint behavior, reveal mechanics, book handling, and creative mode visibility.

⏩ INSTALLATION REQUIRED ON CLIENT

⏩ REQUIRES PUZZLES LIB TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC & NEOFORGE)

⏩ REQUIRES FABRIC API TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

⏩ REQUIRES FORGE CONFIG API PORT TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

If available for a mod, configuration is possible directly from in-game using the mod menu (requires Mod Menu by Prospector to be installed on Fabric).

For manual configuration using an external text editor all files are found at .minecraft/config, named as MOD_ID-client.toml, MOD_ID-common.toml, or MOD_ID-server.toml, depending on the type of config. Not all types might exist for a mod, if any at all.

📖 About:

Sneaky Curses makes it so that curses are hidden on item tooltips. Adds a whole new twist to the curse mechanic, since there are clues an item is curses, but you don't know for sure what kind of curse it is.

Highly recommened to be played alongside other mods that add more curses, leave your suggestions in the comments!

📷 Media:

Curses are missing from tooltips, instead the item name is colored red		Items only with curses don't even have a glint anymore

💡 FAQ:

Q: How do I configure this mod?
A: Editing configs directly in-game has not yet been implemented. Instead when in a world run the /config showfile <modid> command by choosing either CLIENT or SERVER (depending on the mod), then click the file name (ending with .toml) that appears in chat to be able to manually edit the config file in a separate editor. After saving the file, the config will automatically reload in-game after a couple of seconds, so no game restart required.
