Overview

Ulterior Motives is a mod that twists the concept of invisibility and identity in Minecraft.
It changes how invisibility works, introduces cursed enchantments, and adds tools for uncovering the unseen.


Changed Invisibility Behavior

  • No potion particles when the player is invisible (toggleable)
  • Mobs will not detect invisible players at all (toggleable)

Enchantments

🪞 Curse of Masking (Helmet Enchantment)

Rarely found in Ancient Cities. Only works if the helmet has no other enchantments.

Curse of Masking

This curse erases your identity:

  • Your name is censored with obfuscated text (toggleable)

  • Join and leave messages are hidden
  • If invisible, your chat name is censored (toggleable)
  • Your skin is overridden (adds a cape if you don’t have one)
  • Your nameplate above your head is censored

Examples:
