Hollow Knight Origins
by JaselUmena
Hollow Knight Origins brings the abilities and items of Hallownest into Minecraft through Origins powers, for players who choose a character path.
What it does
The mod adds Hollow Knight game mechanics as Origins powers. Upgrades to the Old Nail, Pale Ore, Soul Vessel fragments and Ancient Mask shards are also included, along with Notches, Charms and Geo. The author text points to a feature document for the full list.
Installation requires Fabric. The author notes that the mod runs on Forge alongside Origins only through Sinytra Connector and Forgify with Fabric API, and that some issues may arise in that setup. Hollow Knight Origins is published for Fabric across 7 release versions, 1.20 – 1.20.6, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is not open source, and it is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license.

How it compares

Mythic Charms is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with Fabric files for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, so it covers a longer version range than Hollow Knight Origins.
