Gods & Heroes Races
by GC-Morak
With Gods & Heroes Races, players pick one of 10 fantasy races, each with passive traits that shape how the character plays.
What it does
Each race gives a character a set of passive bonuses, such as higher luck, extra movement or attack speed, faster block breaking, or extra bow damage. Races are balanced against one another, and the mod is meant to be combined with the Origins addon, which handles the choice of race and its active powers as separate systems. Icarus supplies the dynamic wings used for flight, and Ars Nouveau and Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks add spells and magic that fit the setting.
The mod needs Ars Nouveau, Icarus, Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks, Origins and Pehkui to run, and Soulbound Enchantment is optional. It runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it, and it is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 10 release versions, 1.19 – 1.20.4. The code is not open source, and the project is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Ten fantasy races
Each race comes with its own traits, from a divine Aasimar and a flame-wielding Hellborn to a stealthy Feline.
Passive racial traits
Traits raise luck, movement speed, attack speed, block breaking speed and bow damage, with the bonuses kept in balance.
Magic and flight integration
Spells come from Ars Nouveau and Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks, and flight is provided through Icarus dynamic wings.
Pick a race and a power
A player chooses a race and then an active power through Origins, so race and power can be set independently.

How it compares
Icarae Origin is a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt mod with the same client and server environment, published for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 under All rights reserved and not open source. Races (Fantasy Races) covers a narrower set of versions, 1.21.5 – 1.21.7, and is server required with the client optional, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Gods & Heroes Races targets 1.19 – 1.20.4, which overlaps only partly with those ranges.
