Origins: Sculk Mole
by BlueIsADude
Origins: Sculk Mole adds a mole-themed origin built around sculk, where a player starts underground near the deep dark biome and moves through the ground.
What it does
The origin begins a player with a small kit of leftover supplies: planks, sticks, soul torches, rotten flesh and an echo shard. Bright light causes disorientation and a veil of darkness, which Night Vision can cancel in some game modes. Near an active Sculk Sensor a player can see nearby non-sculk entities, and Wardens stay passive toward the player. The player can crouch through one-block tunnels and loses two hearts of health, with only a slight slowdown.
The origin adds sculk-related movement. Crouching sinks the player into sculk and jumping makes them rise, and burrowed sculk grants Speed III and Jump Boost IV along with healing and immunity to fall damage. Activating the sonic launch charges a shriek that pushes a blocked mob in front of the player in the opposite direction, and a purely vertical leap from inside sculk is stronger. The mod requires Origins and Extra Origins. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt for 1.20.1, under the MIT License.
Key features
Sculk burrowing
The player can burrow into sculk-related blocks, which gives certain buffs while inside and cancels fall damage when sneaking.
Sonic launch
A charged shriek damages and pushes away the mob in front, and burrowed use gives a stronger upward leap with a longer cooldown.
Sculk Sensor interaction
Sculk Sensors ignore most of the player's actions, but they still trigger when the player walks over them.
Strong arms
The player can break natural stones without a pickaxe, and bow and crossbow shots that hit from behind deal extra damage.
