Kindred Origins
by DocBlackWolf
Kindred Origins reworks the origin classes of the Origins mod, adding new origins and rebalancing existing ones on Fabric for 1.21.11.
What it does
The mod is built on the Origins-Legacy mod, which it requires, and it changes the stat-only aspect that most origins had before. Each origin gains a distinct set of abilities and drawbacks, so the choice of origin changes how a session plays rather than only the numbers on a stat sheet. The rebalance targets the existing classes and includes new ones, aiming for more immersive and varied play.
Among the included origins are the Golemborn, a metal-eating goliath with ironskin and knockback that throws armor and is limited to a metal-only diet; the Ghastling, a nether floater with slow, heavy fireballs and a large appetite; and the Infested, a tiny burrower that tunnels through most blocks and summons kin. The Dragonkin, Winterkin, Leviathan Spawn, Mantis Shrimp, Avian, Arachnid, Feline, Elytrian, Enderian and Phantom origins are also part of the set.
Kindred Origins runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11, with 1.21.11-1.1.1 as the latest file. The code is under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
