Changeling Origin

by Shap_po

Changeling Origin lets a player take the form of other creatures, with a shapeshift ability that must be earned through a blood sacrifice and can be switched on or off.

What it does

Changeling Origin is an origin for the Origins framework. Once a player has the origin, the player can shapeshift into other creatures. Shifting is tied to kills: a creature killed by the player can become the next form available, and the new form then gives access to that creature's special ability, which is activated on demand. A shapeshift toggle turns the form on or off, and a player who is already shapeshifted returns to their original form by reverting. Death also returns the player to the original form.

The origin is meant for survival and adventure play, and it leaves the choice of which creatures can be copied to the server owner. Entity types, tags and a denylist can stop particular creatures from being used, and by default creatures are allowed, with the Wither, Ender Dragon and Vex left out of the list of copyable forms. Changeling Origin requires Origins, Shappoli and Walkers, and the descendant ability depends on a blood sacrifice being made first. The mod is published for Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1, with 1.0.0+1.20.1 as the latest file, and it is released under the MIT License as open source.

Key features

  1. Shapeshifting into creatures

    Players take the form of other creatures, and each form carries that creature's abilities.

  2. Kill-based form gains

    Killing a creature makes its form available for the next shapeshift, so forms are gained through play.

  3. Active form abilities

    A Use Shape Ability key activates the special ability of the current form.

  4. Configurable creature list

    Entity types, tags and a denylist decide which creatures players may copy, and the server owner sets them.

Questions

Does Changeling Origin need Origins, Shappoli and Walkers?

Yes. Origins, Shappoli and Walkers are all required dependencies and must be installed alongside Changeling Origin on Fabric or Forge.

Does a player need the mod installed to join a server that runs it?

No. Only the server needs the mod to run it, and players may leave it out and still join.

Which creatures can be copied?

By default creatures are allowed, and the Wither, Ender Dragon and Vex are excluded. The server owner can change the list with entity types, tags and a denylist.

What the author says

This mod adds Changeling Origin - an odd creature that can change its form into creatures it kills. "_Changelings are shapeshifters that can take on the form of other creatures. As their descendant, you have inherited this ability, but activating it requires a blood sacrifice._"
