Baryonyx Origin
Baryonyx Origin gives players a playable Baryonyx, a semi-aquatic dinosaur, as a choosable origin for Fabric and Quilt worlds.
What it does
The origin turns a character into a Baryonyx, modeled on the Early Cretaceous hunter described in the author text as reaching about 30 feet in length and weighing up to 2.5 tons. Its traits lean toward water: a hydration buff, a high lung capacity, faster underwater movement, and an underwater sink effect that can be toggled off. Other abilities include Scotopic Vision for dark areas, a bigger posture, Long Legs for climbing one block up onto slabs and similar surfaces, and a fire weakness alongside a blast weakness.
Using the origin requires Origins and Pehkui on the server, and it runs with the server required and the client optional. The files are released under the BSD 2-Clause License and are not open source. Builds exist for Fabric and Quilt across 1.19 – 1.20.1, and the latest file for both loaders is 1.0.0+mod for 1.20.1, published on 2024-06-10. A data pack form is also available for server platforms.
Key features
Water-focused traits
Hydration, lung capacity, underwater speed and water-based movement are grouped to suit a swimming character.
Scotopic Vision
The origin grants better sight in low light, so dark caves and nights are easier to navigate.
Long Legs
The player can step up a full block onto tall surfaces, including slabs.
Fire and blast weaknesses
The origin takes extra damage from fire and from explosions, and it cannot use a shield effectively.
