If you're more interested in enchants rather than curses, I recommend Deadly_Golem's Enchanted mod.

Cursing

To curse an item, you can either use the enchantment books, rarely sold by villagers and such.
Or, you can use the Curse Altar.

The Curse Altar uses a new item called Heliotropes instead of lapis. And gives XP instead of taking it.
It cannot be used to enchant books because I failed to make it compatible with them.
You can either use 1, 5, or 20 Heliotropes when cursing an item, the higher, the better the curses.

The Curse Altar can be crafted with a coal block, two of any stone, two Heliotropes, two bones, and a Sacrificial Dagger.
The dagger is made like a normal sword, but the material is Heliotrope.

Heliotropes are dropped by a new mob called the Curse Cultist. Which is a moderately rare mob that spawns under the same conditions as normal zombies and skeletons.
They can also drop the dagger, but it's uncommon.

Alternatively, you can obtain a Curse Altar from a moderately rare underground structure, but it would be less efficient to look for it in most cases.

Notice:

The cursing mechanic is not compatible with other mods.
As I couldn't get it to work using item tags.
For now at least, modded items must be cursed using the actual books.
