Inkling origin
by Exmori
Inkling origin is a Fabric addon that adds an inkling origin to the Defile mod, changing how a player's body, movement and combat work.
What it does
The addon gives players a new origin for the Defile mod, built around ink. Players switch between the normal Inkmorphosis state and the ink form with the primary ability, and the change is timed rather than permanent. The Origins and Pehkui mods are required alongside Defile, and Inkling origin also needs the Totems Uncleansing mod.
Ink form has tradeoffs. The body can carry only as much weight as iron, the character has seven hearts of health because ink supports less vitality than organic matter, and melee hits deal 20% less damage. Ink moves slower on the ground than normal walking but moves faster in water, and the character is about 25% smaller than usual. Inkling origin is released under the MIT License and is published for 1.20 – 1.20.1.
Key features
Ink facade
A disguise-style form that lets the player appear as ink, switched on and off with the primary ability.
Unstable body
The ink body carries only weight up to that of iron, limiting what the player can hold or wear.
Water landings
Ink takes less damage from falls into water, so landing in a pool costs far fewer hearts.
Weak arms and slow ground
Melee damage is reduced by 20%, and walking on land is slower than the normal speed.

Since you need to use an edited version of defile, you should not use this in any modpacks or share the edited version of defile anywhere without the permision of Doctor4t and keep this for personal use only. (if doctor4t does not wish for this information to be shared, i will delete this addon immediately)
