Sonder
by Killerkrow
Sonder is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that adds two wearable masks and a gray variant of water, built for the Sonder SMP server.
What it does
The mod adds the Tragedy Mask and the Comedy Mask as equipment. Worn in the helmet slot, each mask offers protection values and serves as decoration that shows off a player's tragedy or comedy mood. Both masks currently lack an item texture. Dead Water is a gray variant of normal water that slows the player down when they move through it, and it sits alongside the creation of obsidian in the same build.
The mod was made for the Sonder SMP and adds only a few things. Its author plans to keep it small, with no further expansion beyond what the author needs for the server, and does not intend to backport or forward-port it to other versions unless a player asks. Files are published for Fabric and 1.20.1 only. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and the code is under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.

Use cases
Sonder SMP
The mod was built for the Sonder SMP, where its masks and Dead Water are used on the server.
Who it’s for: Players on the Sonder SMP who want the Tragedy Mask, the Comedy Mask or the slowing Dead Water on a Fabric 1.20.1 world.
How it compares
MaskedSMP targets 1.21.11 and Masks N Glory covers 1.20.1, both client and server, with All rights reserved licenses. Medieval Jester is also a client and server Fabric mod for 1.20.1, released under the MIT License, but unlike Sonder it is not open source in the catalog's sense. Majora's Mask reaches 1.21 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt and is server required with the client optional, so it differs in loaders and environment.
