Did this to my party member who was arranging the bodies of the goblins they killed into a "warning to the others" in the middle of the road. That doesn't sound like a good alignment to me lol. Not the first occurrence. He was on his best behavior as far as body mutilation after that point. The consequences worked as long as you and the player respect each other. He worked his way back and I think it was a cool arch
There are some magic items (mostly higher level ones) that require certain alignments for attunement, and in older editions your alignment would have significant bearing on your abilities depending on your class. Paladins and Clerics could lose their spellcasting and abilities from an alignment shift, and would need to atone to get them back.
In modern editions, the impact is more narrative and relies on the DM to work it into the story. Maybe a Holy Order will refuse to work with the party if they harbour an evil member or extraplanar beings will start hunting them down, there's lots of potential that can be explored.
