Garden Wolf Spider Origin
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.
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.
