Animals Only Origins
Animals Only Origins is a Fabric addon for the Origins mod that leaves only animal origins in the selection screen, removing the other choices.
What it does
When Origins is installed, its origin selection normally offers many options. This addon keeps only the non-sentient animal origins, so a player who wants an animal-based character can pick from that set alone. The addon is built on the template of Animals Only Origins InDev, a discontinued origins addon, and carries forward the idea of removing the base origin.
Size changes from the pehkui library are handled so that the player's size follows the chosen origin. Other Origins-based mods that use pehkui can still change the player's size without respecting the chosen base size; the addon is meant to avoid that conflict for animal origins, and its origin size is scaled to the choice. Fabric API is required, and Origins is an optional dependency that the addon is designed around.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. It is released for Minecraft 1.20.1 only, with the latest Fabric file a0.0.2 published on 2025-06-18 on the alpha channel. The code is all rights reserved and is not open source. An issue tracker is available for reports.
Key features
Animal origins only
The origin selection is filtered so that only non-sentient animal origins can be chosen.
Size follows the origin
The player's size is scaled to the chosen origin, so pehkui size changes match the selected animal.
Base origin removed
The default base origin is taken out of the selection, leaving only the animal options.
Origins compatibility
The addon works with Origins as its optional companion and needs Fabric API to run.

How it compares
Remove Base Origins works on Fabric and Forge across 1.20 – 1.20.6, and is needed on the server, with the client optional; it is under the Apache License 2.0. Dorigins is server-side only, all rights reserved, for 1.20 – 1.20.1, so players join without installing it. Animals Only Origins is client and server, all rights reserved, and covers 1.20.1 only.
