Garden Wolf Spider Origin

by Chris-The-Big

Garden Wolf Spider Origin lets a player take on the form of a garden wolf spider, a hunting spider native to Australia that catches prey by chasing and leaping rather than by building webs.

FabricServer required, client optionalBSD 2-Clause License1.20 – 1.20.2

What it does

The origin is a Fabric power set for the Origins mod, which is required. Pehkui is optional and, when installed, is needed for the short power that changes the player's size. The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out of their own game. Files are published for Fabric only, in 1.20, 1.20.1 and 1.20.2, with 1.0.0+mod for 1.20.2 as the latest build. The license is the BSD 2-Clause License, and the mod is not open source.

The powers cover hunting and movement. The player leaps forward with a primary lunge, slides slowly down walls with a secondary action, scales walls with ease, and takes less fall damage from its legs. Eyesight is sharpened: night vision reaches farther, and nearby creatures are highlighted, with players shown in orange, red for tamed animals and green for others. Acidic fangs can poison a target on attack, and striking an enemy briefly traps it in cobwebs. The spider can also move through cobwebs freely and craft cobweb string.

The origin brings trade-offs. Health is reduced to 7 hearts, the player is slower on foot, and the form is carnivorous and cannot eat plant food. Fire is a major weakness, shields are ineffective, and heavy gold and netherite armor is hard to wear. The origin suits a stealthy, close-range predator more than a fighter.

Key features

  1. Leaping lunge

    A primary power launches the player forward to catch prey, with a short cooldown between uses.

  2. Wall climbing and slide

    The player scales walls with ease and can slide down them slowly with a secondary power.

  3. Acidic fangs

    Attacks have a chance to apply poison, and a striking enemy is briefly trapped in cobwebs.

  4. Heightened eyesight

    Night vision reaches much farther, and nearby creatures are outlined so the player can spot movement.

Questions

Does Garden Wolf Spider Origin need Origins installed?

Yes. Origins is a required dependency, and the spider powers are added through it on Fabric.

Is Pehkui needed to use the mod?

No. Pehkui is optional. It is only needed for the short power that changes the player's size.

Do players need to install the mod on their own game?

Not necessarily. The server must run the mod, while a player who joins without it still plays normally.
