A simple mod that adds a few curses. Heavily inspired by the Cursed mod by DarkHax. https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/cursed

Curses added:

Curse of Darkness: Inflicts Darkness on the wearer

Curse of Flesh Armor: Equipment's armor is increased, but you lose maximum health while wearing it

Curse of Insomnia: You cannot sleep. Phantoms spawn every night

Curse of Misfortune: Greatly reduced Luck. Unfortunate events may happen to you

Curse of Echoes: You hallucinate unsettling noises

Curse of Sinking: You sink faster while in water

Curse of Ruin: This item cannot be used in an anvil

Curse of Ignorance: Breaking the wrong type of block with this tool causes severe durability damage

Curse of Wilting: Crops around you wilt

Curse of Undead: You have basic properties of the undead

Curse of War: Neutral mobs are always hostile

Curse of Death: Lose maximum health if you get hit too many times, recover your health by killing mobs

Curse of Famine: Hunger depletes passively

Curse of Pestilence: Eating poisons you

I intend to add a few more curses based on the capital sins in the future, as well as tweaking the existing curses. Please write bug reports on the github issues page if you find any.
