Lankaster's Origins
by Lankaster
Lankaster's Origins, a Fabric addon for the Origins mod, gives each player a choice of three new origins with distinct bodies, powers and weaknesses.
What it does
Lankaster's Origins adds three origins to the Origins character system. Each one changes the player's body and abilities. The Iron Body origin raises maximum health above the normal amount, but natural healing stops working and the player repairs with iron instead. Strong arms let the player toss enemies and use that strength in combat, though the hands cannot hold a shield. The Fairy origin gives fairy wings for flight that tires the player quickly, and a healing magic power that restores 2 hearts to a targeted entity.
The other origins follow the same pattern. The Bee Rider origin has a friendly relationship with bees, which lets the player use them as mounts. The Small Creature origin is a quarter of normal human size with 3 fewer hearts and cannot jump. Villagers dislike pillagers, and the Pillager Aligned origin carries that rivalry into play. Lankaster's Origins is published for Fabric only, for 1.18 – 1.20.1, and requires the Origins mod.
Only the client needs the mod for its origins to show, while the server must run it as well. The license is CC0 1.0 Universal, so the code is not open source in the sense of a copyleft license, but it is released to the public domain.
Key features
Iron Body origin
Health is raised above normal, healing from ordinary sources is blocked, and the player repairs with iron.
Fairy origin
Fairy wings allow flight that tires the player, toggled with the primary power key, and a healing spell restores 2 hearts.
Sturdy legs and fall damage
Legs of this origin take reduced fall damage, and only falls beyond 9 blocks cause damage at all.
Weak Arms origin
Only stone can be mined, and only when fewer than 2 other stone blocks surround it, while blood replaces normal healing.
Living with nature
Players of this origin harvest crops more efficiently because of their knowledge of the natural world.

Iron body: You get 1.5x the normal amount of health, but normal sources of healing wont work, instead you have to repair yourself with iron. Automaton: Because you are a robot, you do not need to eat.
