SilksongMC
by nukebob
SilksongMC recreates parts of Team Cherry's Hollow Knight: Silksong inside Minecraft, with a dash, Hornet-inspired combat items and a Hornet mask.
What it does
The mod is a small Fabric project aimed at recreating features from Team Cherry's Hollow Knight: Silksong. It adds a dash on the C key by default, reduces air resistance so jumps and movement feel lighter, and removes fall damage. Each of these changes applies while the mod is installed, with no separate setup needed.
Custom combat items inspired by Hornet's abilities join the game. Hornet's Needle is thrown on right click and works as a grapple through a block entity, and the pimpillo is a throwable item that acts somewhat like a grenade. A Hornet mask is also included as a wearable piece. The author made a video describing how the mod was built.
Installation needs Fabric API. SilksongMC runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, across four release versions, 1.21.5 – 1.21.8, and the latest file is 1.0.4 for 1.21.8, released 2025-09-27. The code is available as public source with an issue tracker, and the mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, so it is not open source.
Key features
Dash on the C key
A dash is bound to the C key by default, letting the player move forward in a short burst.
Lower air resistance
Air movement is changed so that the character drifts differently while in the air.
Fall damage removed
Falling from any height does not reduce health while the mod is installed.
Hornet-inspired combat items
Hornet's Needle grapples on right click and the pimpillo is thrown like a grenade.
Hornet mask
A mask modeled on Hornet is added as an item for players who want the look.

How it compares
Swords Dash is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 that is also client and server, and it is released under the MIT License, so it is not open source. Hollow Knight Origins is a Fabric mod for 1.20 – 1.20.6 with the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license, and it is not open source. Enamel is a Fabric mod for 26.1 – 26.1.2, client and server, under the MIT License, and it is open source. SilksongMC covers only 1.21.5 – 1.21.8, so it reaches fewer versions than these alternatives.
