Nestweaver Origin
by capsey
Nestweaver Origin gives a player the Broodmother origin for Origins on Fabric, with spider-style abilities such as wall climbing, web traps and a nest.
What it does
The origin is granted through Origins, which must be installed on Fabric next to this mod. Under the Broodmother origin a player can climb walls and ladders, carry a nest with them and let children walk beside them. Shields are held upright through formed hands, and the player can take extra damage from fire and has two hearts less health.
Diet is restricted to meat, so vegetables cannot be eaten. Web abilities cover the rest of the kit: a player can move freely through cobwebs, trap enemies in webs, sense vibrations through webs, and see anyone intruding on the nest. Eyes give the player a way to see lurking shadows, and the Pest Control and Master Webs features extend the webbing theme.
The mod changes spider behavior: spiders that are fed or leashed by an owner follow the owner around and protect them. The Broodmother origin also appears as an add-on for Origins++ and Reincarnation Origins. Nestweaver Origin is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public. It is published for Fabric and targets 1.20.1 only, with the 1.1.0 file dated 2026-02-07.

Who it’s for: The mod suits players who already use Origins and want a spider-style origin, and server owners who want tamed spider behavior on a Fabric server.
How it compares
Canine Origin is also a Fabric origin for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 and is not open source, under the MIT License. Reincarnation Origins: Broodmother is a Fabric Broodmother origin for 1.19.2 – 1.20.4 and is open source, under the MIT License. Nestweaver Origin covers only 1.20.1 and uses the same Client and server environment as both.
