Corruption Shard Medallion

Quickstart

1. Craft the Corruption Shard Medallion using the recipe below, or grab it from the Equipment tab in the Creative inventory.
2. Place it anywhere in your inventory — you do not need to hold or equip it. The curse activates the moment it enters your inventory.
3. Watch the purple [Medallion] messages appear and brace for chaos — corruption effects start hitting every few seconds.
4. You can also hold it in your main hand or off-hand and right-click/use it to trigger an immediate dark-energy pulse, or swing it at an entity to inflict poison and a lightning strike on your target.

Overview

The Corruption Shard Medallion (com_corruption_shard_medallion_w6ei6wkc:my_sword) is a cursed epic-rarity artefact for Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.93. Simply carrying it is enough to steadily erode your self-control. Every few seconds the shard lashes out — draining your health, dropping your items, summoning hostile creatures, or blinding everyone nearby. Use it at your own risk.

What It Adds

Abilities And Mechanics

Passive Corruption (every ~3 seconds)

While the medallion is anywhere in your inventory, you periodically receive:

• Wither I — slow health drain with dark particles
• Nausea — screen distortion
• Weakness — reduced melee damage

Compulsion Acts (every ~10 seconds)

Every ten seconds the shard forces one of four random "dark acts" on you:

On-Use (right-click / use button while holding)

Immediately applies Wither I to yourself and plays a wither ambient sound, with the message "The Corruption Shard Medallion pulses with dark energy…"

On-Hit

Hitting any entity with the medallion in hand inflicts Poison and Slowness II on the target, and strikes it with a lightning bolt.

Progression And Strategy

• Solo play: The medallion is a self-imposed challenge item. Carrying it turns a normal survival run into a scramble to compensate for constant Wither drain and sudden hotbar item drops.
• Multiplayer: Particularly disruptive — the Social Corruption act blinds and slows every nearby player without warning. Inform your server-mates before adding this to your inventory.
• Mitigating the curse: Keeping your hotbar light (fewer items to drop) and staying away from other players reduces the worst outcomes, but the Wither and Nausea effects cannot be avoided while the item is held.
• Removing the curse: Simply take the medallion out of your inventory and the passive and compulsion effects stop immediately. No special ritual is required — just drop it or store it in a chest.
