The cursed crown is found in the badlands temple. When worn, it replaces all but one of your hearts with absorption hearts, which regenerate after 8 seconds of not taking damage. All healing sources aside from golden apples no longer heal you.

It comes with curse of binding. It also gives 3 armor, has 500 durability, and can be enchanted with any helmet enchantments.

It is repaired using gold ingots. It also counts as gold armor, so piglins won’t get angry at you.

History

1.5.0*
  • Now takes all but one of your hearts, rather than only 8 of your hearts

1.4.1*

Cursed crowns now prevent piglins from attacking you

1.3.0*

The cursed crown no longer spawns in bastions, and is instead jungle temple loot

It no longer has the “midas touch” effect, its use has been completely changed

Now it replaces 80% of your health with absorption hearts

  • These absorption hearts cannot be healed with natural regeneration, instant health, or any potion effects
  • These hearts automatically regenerate after 10 seconds of not taking damage
  • This feature is very similar to Transcendence from Risk of Rain 2, for you Risk of Rain players

Still has Curse of Binding

Has 500 durability, gives 3 armor, and can accept all helmet enchantments

Renewable by fishing for treasure within a jungle temple’s hitbox

  • This renewability mechanic is very janky and we’re currently looking into better methods
1.0.1*

Now has 200 durability

Prevented from converting more gold items (golden apple pies, golden chorus fruit, etc.)

0.5.0Beta 6*

The cursed crown now always comes with curse of binding

It also has a durability of 100

  • It takes damage when you take damage, or when you kill a mob

Mending and other enchantments can also be applied as well

It will no longer turn items like gold blocks or gold ingots into gold nuggets. That made no sense, they were gold already!

Beta 1-

The cursed crown has gotten about half of its fixes. It can no longer turn golden items golden, it no longer gives golden nuggets with lore, and it can no longer turn crops into gold

0.4.0Release+

Witch hats and cursed crowns can now be put on armor stands and other mobs

Release*

Improved drop rates for cursed crowns from soul sand

0.3.1+

Cursed Crown Farming Loot

The cursed crown now affects farming loot, such as apples, carrots, and melons

0.3.0+

A rare head decoration you can find in bastions. When worn on your head, it turns the drops of all the mobs you kill into golden nuggets. Yikes. Or maybe not, depending on if you want gold.
