Nanomech Origin
by LittleButter
Nanomech Origin is an origin add-on for Origins that gives players a nanomechanical character with altered size, speed, health and reach.
What it does
The mod adds the Nanomech origin to the game through a data pack, letting a player choose it like the other origins. The origin changes the body: the character is half a block tall, can grow back to original size with the primary power, and can shrink further with the secondary power. The character flies in creative style and moves about 150% faster than an average player. Reach extends to normal block reach, and the character can ride a player by right-clicking them.
The origin trades durability for these abilities. Health is limited to 8 hearts instead of the usual 10, and the character takes damage from water, around 2 half hearts per contact, while kinetic energy damage leaves half a heart. The character can shoot a laser beam that deals 2.5 hearts, and does not need air to breathe underwater. The mod needs Origins and Pehkui, both listed as required dependencies, and Origins supplies the origin system the mod plugs into.
It is required on the server and optional for players. Files are published for Fabric and Forge across 7 release versions, 1.19 – 1.20.1. The author notes that the mod has been tested with a data pack, and recommends using the data pack version, because mod versions do not always work as expected. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
