🔥 Important Project Update Knight has officially transitioned from a Spigot/Paper plugin to a full Fabric mod. This change was necessary to support advanced features such as client‑side HUDs, networking, custom items, synchronized combat systems, and a modern vitality framework. The old plugin is now discontinued and has been removed. Knight is no longer a plugin — it is a Fabric mod that must be installed on both server and client.
⚔️ Overview Knight is a medieval‑themed hardcore Fabric mod that introduces a high‑stakes vitality system, synchronized PvP combat mechanics, and permanent consequences. Every decision matters, every fight has weight, and survival becomes a tactical challenge. The mod is designed for competitive worlds, hardcore SMPs, medieval servers, and any environment where death should have real meaning.
