Gilded Origins
by Raskire
Gilded Origins adds two new Origins and seven more that many players start in the Nether, meant to sit beside the default ones.
What it does
Each new Origin changes the starting abilities a player picks at character creation. The set is kept small so the choices fit alongside the default Origins instead of replacing them. Canine Amble and Feline are the two Origins introduced by name, and the Feline counterpart is the more aggressive of the pair.
The mod takes an offering-style approach to play: a few Origins grant Strength 1 in exchange for losing other powers, and a Heart-based trade-off gives 9 Hearts as a starting value in place of the usual total. The content draws on Fantastical Origins and Iritine, so players who know those packs will recognize the structure. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.20.1, with 1.20 also listed among the game versions with files.

Use cases
Adding variety to an Origins world
Players who already use the default Origins can add these choices to character creation without swapping packs.
Nether-first survival
The Nether-start Origins suit a run that begins in the Nether rather than the overworld.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners who run Origins-based character creation and want a few additional Origins with trade-offs that fit the default set.
