Chimera Origin
by Shap_po
Chimera Origin is a Fabric adventure mod for 1.20.4 that adds an origin with five body modification slots, where players install parts from other creatures.
What it does
The mod builds on the Origins framework and needs Fabric API, Origins, Shappoli and Trinkets. Its origin starts weak, with two fewer hearts than usual, and a player grows stronger by installing body parts from mobs. Each part sits in one of five modification slots and grants its own abilities, such as fire resistance and lava vision from a blaze core, extra hearts from a dragon heart, or water breathing from a prismarine core.
The mod also covers how those parts are used. A cooldown applies before a new modification can be used after equipping one, and switching modifications carries no penalty. Players can eat more food types with the omnivore stomach, including items only mobs eat, while the silverfish stomach grants a random effect from a block, mostly negative. The data pack alongside the mod adds the body parts through the same framework, and the mod is available as a server platform data pack.
The mod is server required and client optional, so the server must run it while players may leave it out. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. Files exist for 1.20.4 only, and the latest Fabric build, 1.0.0+1.20.4, was published on 2024-10-04.
