Fairytale Origins
by Ellipog
Fairytale Origins is an Origins addon that gives players fairy tale characters, each with its own passive abilities and drawbacks.
What it does
Each character is a choosable origin in the Origins system. Red Riding Hood gets skill with axes and a sense for nearby threats, and blends in among trees. Village Hero makes villagers regard the player fondly, while Night Vulnerability weakens the player after dark. Night Vision and Night Speed offset some of that penalty at night.
The Big Bad Wolf is a nocturnal hunter that works with a pack, the Little Mermaid commands water, and the Minotaur has a charge that is hard to stop. Other origins include the cursed Frog Prince, Jack Beanstalk who challenges giants, Sleeping Beauty with mysterious powers, and Cinderella with restrictions at midnight. Players pick one of these in the origin choice screen and can keep it for their character's life.
Origins and Pehkui are required, so both must be installed alongside Fairytale Origins. The addon is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 24 release versions, 1.19 – 1.21.11, and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. It runs on the client and the server, so the server and every player need it.
