Don't you know bringing someone back to life comes with a price? It's about time you learn. For every subsequent life you live, you will find life to be increasingly *unstable.* **Enjoy.** Death Curse is a Minecraft datapack that applies a curse to players that respawn. For every respawn, the curse worsens. Some of the features require particles to be enabled so be sure to turn them on! I've made this page and the in-game guide book intentionally vague so that you can have fun learning the mechanics. If you'd like more details, see the (https://github.com/antD97/DeathCurse). There is also a complimentary resource pack for the datapack. It is not required, but it improves the experience by adding textures for custom items and adds one unique sound effect. <details> <summary>Design, Objectives, and Balance</summary> Here are some notes on the thought process I had when balancing the datapack. I'm pretty happy with what I ended up with, but I'd love to hear about your experience and any balance ideas you may have. ### Objectives - Create a stronger incentive for the player not to die. It doesn't matter if you're conveniently at your base or your inventory is empty, death should always be avoided! - Effects should be challenging and not annoying - Level X curse level should be a playable experience - Effects should feel like a worsening curse ### Curse Effects - Nausea is used in tiny to small amounts to portray feelings of dizziness and fatigue - Poison effect will decrease player health to 3♥ at most (2½♥ at curse level VIII+) - Hunger will not be applied when player food is 3🍗 or less to allow afk-ing - To see exactly how the effects are applied, see the (https://github.com/antD97/DeathCurse) ### Relief Items - Curse cookie recipe was designed with gold farms in mind - For a detailed descriptions on item mechanics, see the (https://github.com/antD97/DeathCurse) </details> <details> <summary>Curse Effects</summary> Every death your curse level increases by one. The following lists the effects for each curse level: ### Death Curse I - ***nausea*** ### Death Curse II - ***-1♥*** - nausea - ***fatigue*** ### Death Curse III - -1♥ - nausea - fatigue - ***curse leak*** ### Death Curse IV - ***-2♥*** - ***heavy nausea*** - ***heavy fatigue*** - curse leak ### Death Curse V - -2♥ - heavy nausea - heavy fatigue - curse leak - ***poison*** ### Death Curse VI - ***-3♥*** - heavy nausea - heavy fatigue - ***heavy curse leak*** - poison ### Death Curse VII - -3♥ - heavy nausea - ***intense fatigue*** - heavy curse leak - poison ### Death Curse VIII - ***-4♥*** - heavy nausea - intense fatigue - heavy curse leak - ***heavy poison*** ### Death Curse IX - -4♥ - heavy nausea - intense fatigue - heavy curse leak - heavy poison - ***mob aggression*** ### Death Curse X+ - ***-5♥*** - heavy nausea - intense fatigue - heavy curse leak - heavy poison - mob aggression - ***fear*** Curse level will continue to increase past level ten, but no new effects are added. </details> <details> <summary>Curse Relief</summary> <details> <summary>Curse Cookies</summary> Curse Cookie I Crafting Recipe !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antD97/DeathCurse/v1.0.0/img/curse_cookie.png) Curse cookies are the most cost effective way to reduce the negative effects of the Death Curse. Eating a curse cookie will reduce your curse level by one for 30 minutes. When dropped on the ground, curse cookies prefer to morph together. If four curse cookies are left on the ground together, after 10-20 seconds, they will combine into a more potent cookie. </details> <details> <summary>Curse Wards</summary> Curse Ward I Crafting Recipe !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antD97/DeathCurse/v1.0.0/img/curse_ward.png) Curse wards are the next step up in both curse relief and cost. Instead of needing to be consumed, a curse ward will decrease your curse level just by being in your inventory. They also have the added bonus of being tougher than your average item. Curse wards are immune to despawning, fire, and lava, but are <u>not</u> immune to explosions. Similar to curse cookies, four curse wards can be combined to create a stronger version. They are combined in the same way as curse cookies but, unlike curse cookies, have an additional requirement of heat. </details> <details> <summary>Resurrection Abominations</summary> Resurrection Abomination Crafting Recipe ![Resurrection Abomin
