Killer Attribute
by Kavilj
Killer Attribute adds Forge gear modeled on horror slasher villains, so a player can take on the role of a killer in combat and role-play.
What it does
Weapons and armor sets are modeled on well-known killers from horror films and creepypasta stories, and the 1.0.2 build adds items including a mask modeled on Michael Myers and his knife. Each piece of gear grants specific bonuses that often favor lethal combat, which gives melee play a dark, themed direction.
The mod is a lightweight gear addition rather than a large overhaul, since it focuses only on items. Its stated purpose is role-playing servers where players assume killer roles, horror-themed PvP arenas where attribute stacking adds strategic depth, and story maps inspired by horror games such as Dead by Daylight. More armor is listed as a future plan.
It runs on the server alone, so players need nothing extra to join. It is published for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1 and is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.

How it compares
Demiurg Masks is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 with client and server environment, licensed under the MIT License, so it is a different kind of mask mod. Oh, the Horror! is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that needs both client and server, released under All rights reserved. Killer Attribute is server-side only, so players join without installing it.
