Origins: Ethergeist
Origins: Ethergeist adds a spectral origin to the Origins mod, letting a player walk through walls and pass through blocks while sprinting.
What it does
The origin changes how the character moves. Sprinting lets the player treat air like solid blocks, so a sprinting character can run straight through walls. The Spook value rises while the player uses Spectral Steps and falls back as the player stops sprinting. Sprint speed depends on the Spook level: higher amounts make the character faster, lower amounts make it slower.
Sprinting carries costs. The character takes fall damage while sprinting, takes double damage from projectiles, and loses Spook-based health depending on the damage taken while sprinting. Extremely slippery ground slows sprinting much more. The mod is published for Fabric and Quilt for 1.20.1 only, and Origins is required, so it must be installed alongside it.
The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out. The code is under the MIT License and the mod is not open source. Files were first published on 2024-05-15 and last updated on 2024-05-17.
Key features
Wall-passing sprint
Sprinting lets the character pass through blocks as if they were air, which is the origin's main movement effect.
Spook meter
A Spook value builds up through Spectral Steps and drops again when the character stops sprinting.
Speed tied to Spook
Sprint speed scales with the Spook level, so the character is faster at high values and slower at low ones.
Sprint penalties
Sprinting brings fall damage, doubled projectile damage and slower movement on slippery ground.

What the author says
Humanoid airheads who evolved spectrally, in contrast to their ghastly ancestors. Sprinting allows you to treat air like blocks, allowing you to run on nothing, and pass through blocks.
