Megalodon Origin
by Astroria
Megalodon Origin is a Fabric origin mod for Origins, a reworked take on the Land-Shark Origin that turns the player into a huge shark.
What it does
Choosing the origin makes the player 4.5 blocks tall, with fish lungs that cannot breathe air for long. Water breathing applies only while a Conduit effect is active, and without it the player takes slowness 1 out of water. Rain also keeps the player from drying out, since the mod adds a dehydration mechanic that starts after about 60 seconds away from water. Megalodon Origin requires Origins and Pehkui, and Fabric API is needed for the Fabric build.
The shark swims faster in water, moves like a dolphin when it is not in a fight, and charges forward with a lunge that deals extra damage while wielding a weapon. Bare-handed attacks deal 4 damage. Razor-sharp teeth add 3 more damage from its jaws. Natural armor gives a small amount of protection even without worn armor, and the shark cannot use a shield. A bigger stomach means it needs more food, and it eats only meat.
Key features
Shark body
The player grows to 4.5 blocks tall and gains a fish-style body built around swimming.
Dehydration on land
Time spent out of water and out of rain drains the player, and a Conduit effect stops the drain.
Water movement
The player swims faster in water and moves with dolphin-like speed, while land movement is slow and flopping.
Lunge and bite damage
A forward charge and a bite that deals extra damage when a weapon is held, with a stronger hit from the teeth.

I made this mod because a server I am playing on couldn't load datapacks for some reason, and try as I might I couldn't help them... so I instead packed my datapack…
