Mini Origins
by JrnJ
Mini Origins adds small-body origins to Origins, letting players shrink their character and trade size for speed, leaping and fall safety.
What it does
Installing Mini Origins gives players a smaller character with its own set of traits. A smaller body can walk beneath slabs that sit below 0.25 blocks, and the origins are built to pull the vanilla balance closer together rather than leave one choice clearly ahead. Each trait comes with a cost, so the mod is aimed at players who want to try a different way of moving through the world.
The origins suit exploration and building: lower ceilings, tight passages and small rooms open up house designs that regular-sized characters cannot reach. Mini Origins requires Origins and Pehkui. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.19.2, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. The latest Fabric file is 0.1.4, dated 2023-10-13, and the code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Agile movement
The small body moves faster than a regular-sized character, with the speed gain tied to its lighter weight.
Leap and acrobatics
The character can leap in the direction it faces and takes no fall damage, whatever the height of the drop.
Fragile and tiny head
Smaller health pool, with two hearts lost to the lightweight frame, and a head too small to hold a strong helmet.
Passages below slabs
A character below 0.25 blocks tall can walk beneath slabs, which opens up tight rooms and entrances.

Use cases
Building small houses
Low ceilings, narrow doorways and compact rooms become reachable, so cozy houses with complex layouts are easier to build.
Playing with friends
A smaller character changes how a shared world feels, giving groups a playstyle that differs from regular-sized players.
Who it’s for: Players who like exploring Minecraft at a different scale, and groups who want to try a smaller character on a shared server.

What the author says
The mini origins aim to be close to vanilla so that they are not overpowered. Every buff will have a nerf to balance the origin out. This mod is great for players that want to explore Minecraft while being smaller than a block, it opens lots of new house ideas and it's fun being smaller when playing with friends…
