Addon Note:
This pack is an addon for Contrasting Curses that enables leveled curses!
Using this pack in any form on it's own will result in very broken curses and functionality, both are required.
Contrasting Curses
š Adds a collection of 20 unique curses spread across all types of equipment equally with interesting tradeoffs crafted in to encourage interaction with cursed gear. While all curses are generally negative, some may have useful niche applications or specific buffs when playing around them.
ā Most curses stack and support multiple levels, allowing for all sorts of unhinged and cursed fun! Combine curses in an anvil to increase their level like any other enchant or find them naturally on gear! If you'd like to play without leveled curses, do not install this addon, instead just use the base Contrasting Curses pack on its own.

Additional Notes
- While the max chance is 30% on one item, the effect can be applied once per cursed item equipped, stacking debuffs.
- Levels effect both rain and thunder chances of getting struck, but not chances of electricity warning particles. Max chances of a strike are 30% in rain and 50% in thunder.
- Additional jump strength is also scalably granted to compensate and allow the player to jump up blocks.
Questions
How do I install and use this datapack?
Simply place the datapack zip file in the
datapacksfolder of your world alongside Contrasting Curses and rejoin. You can also drag them into the datapacks screen during world creation, just make sure to enable them on the right side with Leveled on top. Alternatively, you can use any global datapack loader mod!
Help! My curses aren't leveled!
Ensure that you have installed and running both the base Contrasting Curses and the Leveled addon. If you're using the datapacks, make sure that Contrasting Curses: Leveled loads after the base pack, that means it should show up above base Contrasting Curses, with higher priority. If you're still having issues, please reach out on Discord or GitHub.
How can I know the max level of curses in-game?
Various mods allow you to see the max level of enchantments such as Enchantment Insights or JEI / EMI with their various enchantment addons. These also usually allow you to view supported items and other incompatible enchants!
Can I add or remove this addon from my world?
If this addon is added later, existing level 1 enchants will turn into their leveled variants at level 1. If removed, over-leveled enchants will remain at their level so long as the base pack remains installed.
