Cursed curios, powerful relics, unique weapons, and progression tied to the Oathbound Relic. Become Branded, survive its penalties, and unlock dangerous new abilities, effects, and gear through long-term sacrifice.
Minecraft 1.21.1 · NeoForge
A Fabric version lives on the
fabric-1.21.1branch.
Equip the Oathbound Relic to become Branded. The Oath gives strong blessings and harsh curses:
- Curses: Frailty, Provocation, Shattered Plate, Blood Toll, Living Ember, Soul Fracture, and Wakeful Doom
- Blessings: bonus Looting, Fortune, experience, enchanting power, attack speed, and emergency absorption
The relic stays with you through death. To end the Oath, you must survive the Rite of Severance.
- Bound curios: relics that only awaken for the Branded, often working with the Oath's own curses
- Free-bound relics: relics anyone can wear
- Bearer curios: heavier relics with build-defining passives and sharp tradeoffs
- Rings: Gold, Cyan, and Nebula rings for steady armor and extra ring slots
Six remnants (Colossus Heart, Ember Seed, Tide Pearl, Skybrand Feather, Nebula Lens, and Void Pearl) grow through six stages, from Dormant to Apex. Higher stages need the Oath, and Apex needs long service to it.
Forge weapons of Sloth, Pride, Envy, and Wrath from tablets and idols: the Lethargic Greatsword, Vanity's Edge, Covetfang, and Ruinwake.
- Rite of Severance: tear the Oath free and destroy the relic, if you survive the rite
- Rite of Repose: a quiet altar that lets the Branded sleep nearby despite Wakeful Doom
- Aredrite gems, ore, and armor
- Soul Lantern and Soul Gem
- Oblivion Stones and Void Ashes from bosses and End creatures
- Relics hidden in structure loot across the Overworld, Nether, and End
An in-game Patchouli guide explains every relic, curse, ritual, and forging path. New players receive it on first join.
