Minecraft's forgotten mechanic? New and reworked Curses with this Datapack

[/u/DarkPhantom1212]

Hey hey everyone, it's been a while since I posted anything. I am an amateur Datapack creator, and this is the first time I decided to make one of my datapacks public. The goal of this Datapack is to make Curses in Minecraft a more interesting discovery. It aims to give players a chance to consider using Curses, instead of instantly discarding all items enchanted with one. It changes the concept of a Curse from a purely negative effect, to a negative and positive effect. Each new Curse, and already existing Curses, will provide the players with interesting effects that will both negatively, and positively impact the player. I would love to hear what you guys think! If there is any feedback, or any suggestions, let me know! So, what changed?​ This Datapack adds 7 new curses, all with unique positive and negative effects. All curses have unique mechanics, while attempting to keep as much of a vanilla feel as possible. It additionally changes the 'Curse of Binding' a small amount. Each piece of armor with Curse of Binding will have 2 additional armor toughness, and 1 additional armor. This way, this Curse will provide the player with more protection at the cost of not being able to remove it. My goal is to change/rework 'Curse of Vanishing' as well, but currently, I have not yet thought of something that I would consider fitting and fair. If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them! New Curses!​ All new Curses are listed below within a spoiler tag. Curse of Diminishing: An armor unique Curse that will reduce the players max health, jump strength, and movement speed. In turn, they will become smaller! This effects stacks, meaning that with 1 piece, you can still jump up blocks, with 2 pieces you can sneak to become smaller then one block, and with 3 pieces you will always be smaller then one block. Curse of the Drowned: Tool exclusive Curse that slows down block breaking speed, except for when your underwater! then it increases it instead. Combining this with Aqua Affinity will provide the player with a significant boost in block breaking speed underwater compared to on land. Curse of Gluttony: This curse can be applied to everything except armor. it will continuously drain durability while holding the item, but there is a small chance it refills hunger whenever durability is consumed. Delicious! Curse of Greed: A melee weapon only Curse. It will change ALL mob drops to iron and gold nuggets. Feeling hungry, whoops, it's an iron nugget now. Really wanted that smithing template from the Elder Guardian, I hope you like gold! There are some small easter eggs though, see if you can find them! Curse of Infestation: A Curse exclusive to pickaxes. Whenever you hit a block, there is a chance a silverfish will spawn. It does allow you to pick of infested blocks, something even Silk Touch can't do! Perfect for pranking your friends! Curse of Undeath: This Curse can only be found and applied on chestplates. All zombies and skeletons will become passive to the player. I do hope you dislike the sun though, because standing in direct sunlight will burn you now! Curse of Wrath: A simpler Curse that can only be applied on melee weapons. These weapons will deal more damage, but this damage isn't only to the targets you hit. You will also take damage every time you hit something with an item that is affected by this Curse.
