An Origins Addon: Apocalypse Origins
by JaselUmena
An Origins Addon: Apocalypse Origins adds several new origins to the Origins mod, each with its own abilities and drawbacks, for Fabric and Forge.
What it does
Players pick one of four origins that change how the game is played, with new upsides and downsides for each. One origin relies on teleportation crystals, another uses sword-based magic that can possess other players, a third is a fungus that adapts its form to hostile surroundings, and the Geneticist origin extracts DNA from mobs and sequences new genes to modify existing creatures. Several origins are still in progress, with Refractor II, Myconoids II and Hexblade II listed as the newer versions.
The mod requires Origins to run. Extra Thicc Packets and Robin's Unlimited Packets are optional extras. The mod is multiplayer-compatible, and several players may choose the same origin on one server. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license, so it is not open source. Files cover 16 game versions, 1.17 – 1.20.6, with the latest file for 1.20.4.
