Mech Origins
by JammingDino
Mech Origins is a Fabric adventure mod for Minecraft 1.20.2 that lets players collect and equip mech parts, each altering their abilities.
What it does
Mech Origins adds a single origin, Mech Origin, that players can choose through the Origins mod, which is required. Upon spawning, a player starts with the base core, arms and legs already equipped, and those initial parts set direct effects on the player's abilities. Base attributes form the foundation that later modifications from different equipment build on.
Parts are found in chests scattered through the world, and some mobs have a chance to drop relevant items, for example a Blaze can drop Fire Arms. The mod is built as a modular, expandable system, so new items and equipment can be added without reworking existing parts. The Fabric file targets 1.20.2 only, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.
