Expanding Your Arsenal with More Curios Slots
If you have ever dabbled in modded Minecraft, you know that the Curios API is a game-changer. It adds a dedicated equipment overlay for rings, necklaces, belts, and other trinkets, allowing you to wear magical accessories without sacrificing armor slots. But the default Curios slots can fill up fast, especially when you are running mods like Artifacts or Unique Accessories. That is where More Curios Slots comes in—a lightweight addon that lets you craft extra slots and truly maximize your character’s potential.
What Exactly Does More Curios Slots Do?
More Curios Slots is not a standalone content mod. It works exclusively as an extension of the Curios API, meaning you need both Curios and at least one other mod that provides equippable curios for it to be useful. On its own, the mod adds nothing except the ability to craft new slot tokens. These tokens, once used, permanently unlock extra slots in your Curios inventory—extra ring fingers, an additional necklace slot, more charm slots, and so on. The recipes are intentionally expensive, often requiring rare materials like nether stars, emerald blocks, or dragon breath, making each new slot feel like a meaningful progression milestone.
One of the best things about this mod is its configurability. If you find the default recipes too grindy or not grindy enough, you can tweak them using KubeJS or vanilla datapacks. The mod relies on standard Curios slot tags like #curios:ring, #curios:charm, or #curios:head to determine what items fit where, so any accessory that respects those tags will work seamlessly with the extra slots.
Compatible Mods and Slot Synergy
Because More Curios Slots simply expands the slot count, it pairs beautifully with any Curios-compatible equipment mod. Popular choices include Artifacts, which adds a huge variety of powerful trinkets, and Unique Accessories, a mod that introduces utility-focused curios with unique passive abilities. For those who enjoy a challenge, Enigmatic Legacy also integrates well, though it requires a small config tweak for multi-equip spellstones (more on that later).
Managing a large collection of mods can sometimes be a hassle, but modern launchers simplify the process significantly. For players who want a clean and efficient way to handle their modpacks, the foxygame.net launcher offers a built-in mod browser where you can find and install More Curios Slots with a single click, keeping your game up-to-date without manual file juggling.
Crafting Your Way to More Slots
The core mechanic revolves around slot-specific tokens. For example, a “Ring Slot Token” might require four emerald blocks, two gold ingots, and a nether star. Once crafted, you right-click the token and it permanently adds one ring slot to your Curios inventory. The same logic applies to head slots, necklace slots, belt slots, and charm slots. The mod does not add new slot types—it only increases the quantity of existing ones.
Here is a quick overview of what you can typically unlock:
- Extra Ring Slots – Equip multiple rings for stacked stat boosts.
- Additional Necklace Slots – Wear more than one amulet or pendant.
- More Charm Slots – Carry a larger set of passive utility trinkets.
- Extra Head Slots – Combine a circlet with a crown for double the style.
Because the tokens are consumable and the effect is permanent, you only need to craft each one once per world. Server administrators love this because it adds a long-term goal without bloating the loot table.
Customizing Recipes with KubeJS and Datapacks
If you are running a custom modpack or want to adjust the balance, More Curios Slots exposes all its recipes through standard JSON files. You can override them with a datapack or use KubeJS scripts to change ingredients, unlock conditions, or even gate certain slots behind achievements. This flexibility ensures the mod fits neatly into any progression system, from vanilla-plus experiences to hardcore expert packs.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Even with a straightforward mod like this, a few quirks can pop up depending on your mod combination.
Artifacts Effects Do Not Stack
When using the Artifacts mod, you might notice that equipping two identical artifacts (for example, two Cloud in a Bottle items) does not double the effect. This is not a bug with More Curios Slots but rather a design choice within Artifacts itself. The mod’s code intentionally prevents stacking of identical effects. While it could theoretically be changed via mixins, no built-in option exists yet, so you will need to diversify your trinket selection.
Multiple Spellstones with Enigmatic Legacy
If you cannot equip more than one spellstone from Enigmatic Legacy, check the mod’s config file. Look for the setting B:SpellstonesMultiequip and make sure it is set to true. Without this, the mod restricts you to a single spellstone regardless of how many slots you have unlocked. Once enabled, your extra slots will function as expected.
Is More Curios Slots Worth the Grind?
Absolutely—if you are already invested in a Curios-heavy modpack. The cost of each token ensures that you do not trivialize the early game, while the permanent nature of the upgrade makes every crafted slot feel rewarding. Whether you are stacking damage-boosting rings in a boss fight or layering utility charms for exploration, the added flexibility can completely change your playstyle. Combined with the easy configuration and wide compatibility, More Curios Slots is a small mod that punches well above its weight.
Final Thoughts
More Curios Slots fills a niche that many modded players did not even realize they needed. It respects the balance of the Curios ecosystem while giving you the freedom to wear all the shiny trinkets you have collected. Just remember to pair it with content mods that actually provide curios, tweak the recipes if you want a different challenge, and double-check those config files when mixing with mods like Enigmatic Legacy. With a little setup, you will be sporting a full set of accessories that would make any dungeon delver jealous.
