Origins: Cannoneer
by SirCortisol
Origins: Cannoneer gives a player a cannon-based origin, with cannonballs, rocket jumps and a firing cycle that slows the player between shots.
What it does
A fire cannonball deals 7 damage and sets the target alight, with a slowness effect on anything it hits. Firing the cannon three times in a row leaves it needing a reload, and the reload takes 3 seconds and applies Slowness II to the player while it runs. The origin's airborne ability works differently from the usual flight: it pushes the player forward and upward, allowing a rocket jump.
The origin also changes a few survival rules. Hunger drains more slowly for this player, in line with the sea-trained ration theme of the origin. A misfire can blow the cannon up in the player's hands, which damages the player and uses up one piece of ammunition. The trade-off for the firepower is 2 fewer hearts of maximum health, and the player cannot use shields.
Origins: Cannoneer requires Origins and runs on Minecraft 1.20.1 with Fabric. The server must run it, while a client may leave it out. The mod is also distributed as a data pack, which a world owner can add by hand to a single-player world or a server. Files are published only for 1.20.1, and the mod is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0, not open source.
Key features
Cannonball attacks
Fire cannonballs deal damage and inflict slowness on the target, with the strike focused on a single enemy.
Rocket jump movement
The airborne ability propels the player forward and upward, which lets the origin cross gaps and reach high ground.
Reload cycle
Three shots empty the cannon, and a 3-second reload applies Slowness II to the player while it runs.
Misfire risk
A misfire makes the cannon explode, damaging the player and reducing the ammunition count by one.
