Origins: Mantidicae
Origins: Mantidicae is an add-on for the Origins power system that gives a player a mantis-style origin built around blue orchids and their pollen.
What it does
Players of this origin draw Aura from orchids. Standing near a potted blue orchid, or eating orchids, slowly fills the Aura reserve, and the reserve can be spent to duplicate nearby orchids or to instantly relocate the player's vision. Hunger, fall damage and incoming damage also interact with Aura, so the reserve shapes how the origin is played.
The origin's abilities are split between a passive state and a secondary ability. Sneaking near orchids can make the player invisible, and a landing attack on an unaware opponent applies the Entranced effect. The Whispering Wings secondary ability gives a short forward dash that can be used twice, and contact with an orchid refills both dashes, which allows ladders to be built with orchids.
The mod requires Origins on Fabric and Quilt, and is published for 1.20.1 only. The server needs the mod and the client may leave it out. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. A data pack build exists for the same content.
Key features

Aura builds up near potted blue orchids over time and from consuming orchids, and it is required for most abilities.

Invisibility and Entranced

Whispering Wings dash
A short forward dash that can be used twice, with the second dash propelling the player further and costing Aura.

Mantes who utilized a symbiotic connection with orchids to become humanoid, and now use the flower's pollen as their lifeblood. Your abilities are fueled by the pollen of orchids. Stand in/nearby a blue orchid or potted orchids to gain Aura over time. Alternatively, you can consume them to get a little Aura.
