Gotcha Origin

by wobbs

Gotcha Origin adds a Fabric origin for Origins that gives a player one of about 70 powers, rolled at random from a pool of 20 good, 20 bad, 10 neutral and 20 active powers.

FabricClient and serverMIT License1.20.1

What it does

Selecting the Gotcha origin does not fix a single ability. The set of powers is shuffled each time the player picks the origin or dies, and a secondary power button can reroll them on a 15-minute cooldown. Every roll grants two positive powers marked green, two negative powers marked red, two neutral powers marked yellow and one active power marked purple.

The powers are built for this mod rather than taken from other origin packs, and the author describes them as combinations of the base origin mod's powers together with scrapped ideas from friends. The pool is meant to be explored over many runs, so the author picks a few favorites to show off. Installation needs Origins and Pehkui, and the mod is released under the MIT License. It is not open source. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.20.1.

Key features

  1. Random origin powers

    Each roll draws from roughly 70 powers, so no two starts match.

  2. Head Eater

    A power that heals the player by five hearts instantly, with the heal value editable in the config.

  3. Rocket Jump

    The player launches forward at high speed, damaging anything caught in the path.

  4. Size Change

    The player can grow or shrink up to eight steps in either direction.

  5. Totem-style regeneration

    Natural regeneration is replaced by a totem-like effect that runs on a cooldown.

Questions

What does Gotcha Origin require?

Origins and Pehkui are required. Both must be installed alongside Gotcha Origin on Fabric for 1.20.1.

Does Gotcha Origin have to be installed on both sides?

Yes. The server and every player need the mod installed.

How often can the powers be rerolled?

The secondary power button rerolls the set on a 15-minute cooldown. The set also reshuffles whenever the player selects the origin or dies.

What the author says

(Just a note. This is a much older mod of mine I made for a private server with some friends over a year ago. It doesn't meet my current goals for mod making but, I thought it would be a waste to not upload it anywhere. For that reason, and being busy in general, don't expect updates on this mod.)
