Hollow Knight Origins

by JaselUmena · on Modrinth

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

Minecraft 1.20.5–1.20.6Newest
Minecraft 1.20–1.20.4

⬇ Download for 1.20.5–1.20.6 ⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.4

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

HOLLOW KNIGHT ORIGINS: THE KNIGHT

This origin's development was commissioned by suspiciousdino75 on Discord, and it has been made public for the purposes of gathering playtest data and feedback. The objective here is to port the experience of playing as the Knight from the hit indie game Hollow Knight to Origins with slightly better results than it’s been done before and in a somewhat game-accurate manner, trying to preserve as many mechanics as possible as they are in the original game.
