Compound Origins
by Drugun
With Compound Origins, players build a custom origin by picking one mini-origin from each of several layers, and the addon extends the Origins mod for Fabric.
What it does
Origins from the addon are grouped into layers. Each layer offers several small origins of similar strength and utility, so a player can combine them into a custom origin, which can be chosen from the vanilla origin list. Making an own origin is one of the mod's main uses, and the addon is meant to be played with Origins Classes, which the authors suggest for fuller use. Using a custom origin is designed not to make the game noticeably easier.
Players choose one origin from five categories: Folk, Affinity, Talent, Defect and Defect B. Choosing Talent lets the player pick Defect B as well, while Affinity lets a player select between two separate active skills. An orb origin is craftable, which makes it possible to switch origins if that option is disabled. The mod uses wings from Icarus.
Compound Origins is released as open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric only, across six release versions 1.19 – 1.20.1, with 1.1.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest file. It is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. Origins, Icarus and oωo (owo-lib) are all needed to run it.
Key features
Custom origin assembly
Players select one mini-origin per layer and combine them into a personal origin, with options drawn from the vanilla origin layer.
Origin categories
Origins are sorted into Folk, Affinity, Talent, Defect and Defect B, with Talent opening a second defect.
Active and passive effects
Effects include wings that glide like elytra, higher jumps, faster movement, night vision toggle, reduced fall damage and a chance to avoid projectiles.
Food and origin switching
Increased food consumption is one of the trade-offs, and an orb origin can be crafted to switch origins where that is disabled.
