About this Mod
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.
