Elemental Origins
by jun.alvasees
Elemental Origins replaces the base origins with six elemental options, each carrying its own set of traits and weaknesses.
What it does
Each of the six origins gives a player a fixed set of strengths and weaknesses tied to an element. Fire origins are immune to fire damage and heal faster near flames, though they are sensitive to fire. Water origins breathe underwater and see clearly through it, while taking damage from water. Nature origins gain extra hearts and can climb walls with vine powers, but they cannot eat meat. Air origins can fly and glide, and they fall slowly. Origins tied to daylight grow weaker in the sun, while dark-aligned origins see in darkness, grow stronger at night and can phase through blocks.
The origins replace the base origins, so a player picks one of the six when creating a character. The mod is built for Fabric and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it installed. Files cover 1.20 and 1.20.1, and the latest build, 1.0.5, targets 1.20.1. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
