Chthonic Origins
Chthonic Origins is a small Origins addon for Fabric and Forge that adds origins drawn from the underworld of Greek mythology.
What it does
Each origin added by Chthonic Origins is built around a figure or idea from the Greek underworld, such as death, the gatekeeper of the dead and a Greek god of death. Origins trade one set of strengths for another: a Thin Armor origin lowers health, Decay Less does the same from another angle, while War Machine raises damage dealt and Gate Guardian strengthens the holder underground and weakens them on the surface. Other origins change how the player perceives the world, with Camera Vision shifting the view closer to a camera and Faded Specter giving the player a slightly transparent, dark tint.
The mod requires Origins, Origins (Forge) and Pehkui. Origins supplies the origin system on both loaders, and Pehkui handles the size changes some origins depend on. Chthonic Origins is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.20.1 only, with the latest Fabric build at 1.1.5 and the latest Forge build at 1.0.1-forge. The code is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
