Maskborne
by SenpaiTeddy
Maskborne adds Shinigami and Hollow themed masks to Minecraft, where equipping a Vizard Mask grants timed buffs and abilities.
What it does
Maskborne brings a Bleach-inspired progression into the game. Shinigami powers clash with Hollow power, and the player works through a series of Hollowfication stages. Each stage brings the player closer to mastering the inner Hollow, though every stage also carries greater risk. Secrets are tied to the Hōgyoku, which is how a Vizard Mask is awakened and how the dangerous Hollowfication process can be survived.
Equipping a Vizard Mask grants buffs and abilities that last only a limited time, and pushing too far can cost the player. Training and evolving through this high-stakes combat system fuses Shinigami skill with Hollow instinct. The mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it, and it depends on Geckolib, Kleiders Custom Renderer API, Pehkui and playerAnimator. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1 only, with 1.0.1 as the latest file, dated 2025-07-18.
Key features
Special ability masks
Minecraft masks grant special abilities that are tied to the Vizard Mask system.
Hollowfication stages
Several stages of Hollowfication track progress toward mastering the inner Hollow, and each stage raises the risk.
Time-limited buffs
Vizard Mask buffs and abilities expire after a set time, so overuse leads to losing the advantage.
Hōgyoku progression
Secrets and surviving the Hollowfication process both depend on progression tied to the Hōgyoku.
