Highroller Origins
by Wawacatswiss
Highroller Origins is a Fabric origins add-on that gives players custom origins, each with a passive trait and a drawback, for the Kalopsia SMP server and other servers.
What it does
Each origin modifies how a character plays. The Lucky Streak origin grants a passive Fortune and Looting boost with a +2 base luck bonus, while Adrenaline Rush keeps permanent 40% speed, has a 50% chance to negate incoming damage, but only while wearing no armor or leather. Smooth Talker secures permanent discounts on villager trades, and Soft Hands cuts maximum health by two hearts in exchange for stronger physical labor. Gambler's Fatigue doubles the exhaustion rate under high stress, and Paper Money ties riches to physical distress from water and rain.
The visual effects use vanilla post-processing pipelines for states such as Delirious, with CRT-style distortion, vignette and a Stifled state that reads as pitch-black blindness. Custom screen shaders can be displayed through an external shaderpack when Iris or OptiFine is enabled, or turned off to use the internal effects. Gameplay mechanics, sound effects, movement sway and entity outline highlights keep working in every visual state.
Highroller Origins requires Origins and Pehkui. It is built for Fabric 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with files for six release versions, and the latest file is 1.7.0 for 1.20.6, published 2026-09-30. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.
