Identifying Cursed Items

This resource pack highlights curse names in bright red text within item tooltips. This makes it immediately obvious when an item carries a negative effect or restriction, helping you avoid equipping dangerous gear during combat or exploration.

What to Look For

1. Open your inventory and hover over any item to see its tooltip

2. Scan the description for red-colored text—this indicates a curse

3. Read the curse name carefully to understand the penalty (examples: binding, vanishing, or mod-specific curses)

4. Decide whether the item's benefits outweigh the curse's drawback

Making Informed Decisions

  • Cursed items often provide powerful stats but with trade-offs
  • In RLCraft's dangerous survival setting, some curses can be fatal (like binding you to an item)
  • Compare the red-highlighted curse against the item's other bonuses shown in the tooltip
  • Store cursed items safely if you want their benefits without equipping them

The red highlighting system removes ambiguity—you'll never accidentally equip a cursed item without knowing the consequence.
