Union's Upgrade Scrolls
If you have ever wished your favorite sword or pickaxe could grow stronger the more you use it, Union's Upgrade Scrolls is the add-on you have been waiting for. This mod draws heavy inspiration from the scroll system in Maplestory, bringing a layer of risk, reward, and long-term progression to Minecraft that vanilla enchanting simply cannot match. Whether you are a seasoned adventurer or a casual builder, these scrolls give every piece of gear a chance to become something legendary.
What Are Upgrade Scrolls?
At its core, Union's Upgrade Scrolls introduces a variety of scrolls that can be fused with almost any weapon, tool, or piece of armor. The result depends entirely on which scroll you apply. Instead of a single generic upgrade path, you get several distinct categories, each with its own mechanics and strategic value.
- Modifier Scrolls roll a random affix, granting bonus attributes while the item is equipped or held.
- Cursed Scrolls add stars that boost damage or armor on success, but carry a real chance of destroying your equipment.
- Golden Scrolls apply the Unbreakable tag, protecting your item from being destroyed by scrolls or durability loss.
- Holy Scrolls safeguard your next failed Cursed Scroll roll, or preserve your stars if the item already has a Golden Scroll applied.
The system is refreshingly simple to use. Just hold or equip the item you want to upgrade and right click to fuse the scroll onto it. No complicated menus, no confusing interfaces, just instant results and the thrill of watching your gear evolve.
The Risk and Reward of Cursed Scrolls
Understanding the Odds
Cursed Scrolls are where the real tension lives. Each attempt has an 80 percent chance to succeed and a 20 percent chance to destroy your item outright. Every success adds a star to your gear, and these scrolls can be used repeatedly until you hit the hard cap of 15 stars. If you do roll that unlucky 20 percent, the item is gone, unless it carries the Unbreakable tag from a Golden Scroll, in which case it survives but loses all its stars.
This creates a genuine decision every time you scroll. Do you push for one more star and risk everything, or do you play it safe and lock in your progress? Holy Scrolls exist precisely for players who want to hedge their bets, absorbing the next failed roll so your precious equipment lives to fight another day.
Where to Find Scrolls
Scrolls are not simply handed out. Breaking mob spawners has a chance to drop up to three Mysterious Scrolls, and there is a rare 1 in 150 chance to receive a Golden Mysterious Scroll. Right clicking a Mysterious Scroll randomly rolls one of the scroll types that exist in the mod. This design choice is clever because mob spawners are often overlooked as loot sources, giving players a fresh reason to hunt them down during their adventures.
If you would rather skip the manual setup entirely, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install option that places Union's Upgrade Scrolls directly into your mod profile without any folder digging. The launcher also keeps the add-on updated automatically, so you never miss a compatibility fix or a newly added scroll type.

Final Thoughts
