About this Mod
🕯️ Superstition
Superstition is a dark survival-focused Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.10/1.21.11 that introduces a new way to cheat death — at a dangerous cost.
Instead of relying on a Totem of Undying in your hand, you can place your faith in a Totem Altar — a mystical structure that watches over you. When fatal damage is dealt, the altar will sacrifice a stored Superstition Totem to save your life automatically, even from a distance.
But this power is not without consequences.
⚔️ Core Mechanics
The altar activates within a 20-block radius, saving you without requiring any item in hand.
On activation, you are restored to 50% health and receive a small boost of hunger and saturation.
Each activation consumes one Superstition Totem stored inside the altar.
You are afflicted with Evil Eye for 60 seconds, increasing all incoming damage by 1.5×.
