Midnight Moon Origin
Midnight Moon Origin is a Fabric origin for the Origins mod that centers play on stealth and night-time activity, built for 1.20.1.
What it does
The origin is meant for a stalking, watching style of play. Its abilities mostly favor the hours of darkness, so a player who stays out at night gains sight, speed, strength and gliding, while daylight brings weakness. The origin is not built around player-versus-player combat; the author describes it as suited to hanging out with friends and building lore on a server.
Installation requires Origins, which the mod depends on for its origin system. Midnight Moon Origin runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, with the 1.0.0 file targeting 1.20.1, and is licensed as All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Permanent night invisibility
Veil of Moonlight keeps the player invisible at night, and crouching during the day turns the player invisible as well.
Night-time abilities
Night Sight gives automatic night vision, Night Dominion grants Strength III after dark, and Lunar Drift allows gliding like an elytra at night.
Food and potion effects
Rotten flesh becomes edible with negative effects, poisonous potatoes sometimes grant Regeneration III, and pufferfish grants maximum Luck briefly.
Fragility and light sensitivity
The player has fewer maximum hearts, takes extra fire damage, takes less damage from direct sunlight, and cannot sleep in the Overworld.
Stealth movement
Shadow Step grants speed while invisible, and Silent Step halves the range at which mobs detect a sneaking player.

Use cases
Night-focused servers
Server groups that want a stealth role built around darkness can give the origin to players who join for night roleplay.
Lore and roleplay
Friend groups building a shared story can use the origin's daytime weakness and night strength as a framing for their characters.
Who it’s for: Players who want a stalking or watching character, and server owners who run lore-driven survival with friends rather than combat-focused play.

What the author says
This mod adds a new origin to Minecraft. It is based on the Origins Minecraft mod and requires that as a dependency.It is intended to be a stalking or watching type of origin, one that isnt pvp focused that is mostly just for hanging out with friends or making lore. It is fantastic for servers and is intended for such.
