Deepspawn Origin
by Alwaysalty
Deepspawn Origin is an origins datapack that gives a player a sculk-themed origin with abilities tied to the Deep Dark biome.
What it does
The origin is built for players who plan around sculk ground: its abilities are strongest near sculk blocks, so the origin suits trapping, fighting and holding a home base. Its Deep Dark Inhabitant trait changes how the player is detected, so sculk sensors and wardens do not pick them up, and sculk-family blocks can be climbed like veins. A player standing within sculk gains Strength and Speed over time.
Other traits cover fire and fights: the player is immune to fire damage and cannot be set on fire. Echo Charge lets the player use an echo shard on a sculk shrieker to decide whether it spawns wardens. The Subdivide active ability uses 10 levels to create a sculk catalyst. Soul Eater removes the ability to eat food, refilling hunger from experience orbs, and standing within 8 blocks of a sculk catalyst grants Regeneration II and Resistance. Outside that, potions are the only way to regenerate health.
The origin needs Origins on Forge, NeoForge, Fabric and Quilt, and it is published as a datapack for servers. Files exist for 1.20 – 1.21.1, with 2.0+mod for 1.21.1 as the latest build. The code is under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.

Whether you died and were revived by the sculk or are merely a construct of its will, you are innately attuned to the Deep Dark. The Deepspawn are a sculk-inspired origin that gain buffs in their home turf, but are left exposed if they venture out without a plan.
