Classic Enthusiast (Origin)

by allela

Classic Enthusiast, an Origins origin for Forge, gives a player a set of older Minecraft behaviors as one origin with its own abilities and drawbacks.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 1.21.4

What it does

The origin is modeled on older versions of the game. It keeps the older combat rules: attacks have no cooldown, shields are left out, and axes deal less damage in combat. Players who take it get a faster attack pace and a slower walking pace, and they can sprint less while hunger never drains, so the food bar stays where it is.

The origin also changes how food and sleep work. Soups restore hearts, and eating them is the only way to heal besides regeneration from full saturation. Phantoms appear four times as often, and netherite armor and tools are made almost useless. The origin can craft recipes that vanilla has removed, including enchanted golden apples and horse armor.

Installation requires Origins, and the mod runs on Forge for game versions 1.20.1 – 1.21.4. The server and every player need the mod installed. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Swift hands

    The origin removes the attack cooldown, so each hit lands at the pace the player sets.

  2. Veteran's expertise

    Effects from the origin are weaker over time, reflecting a player who has grown used to magic.

  3. Tasty soups

    Drinking a soup restores four hearts, and eating one restores two, making soup the main healing source.

  4. Removed recipes

    Crafting recipes that vanilla dropped, such as enchanted golden apples and horse armor, become available again.
