Origins Cap
Origins Cap lets a server owner limit how many players can choose each origin, layer by layer, using a set of commands.
What it does
The mod sets a global cap on how many players may pick a given origin, and it can also cap per layer or per origin. The default cap is 3 and can be changed with commands. Once an origin reaches its limit, other players must pick a different one. A blacklist can exclude particular players or layers from the cap, and a server can allow anyone to choose an origin in a layer. Commands can clear all cap data, reset one layer, or reset a single origin, which forces affected players to rechoose.
The mod is an addon for Origins and needs both the client and the server to have it installed, so the environment is client and server. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.18.2 – 1.20.2, with 2.2 for 1.20.2 as the latest file. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the issue tracker and source code are public.

Use cases
Limiting a strong origin on a server
A server owner can keep one origin from being chosen by everyone by setting a cap on it.
Rebalancing a running world
After changing caps, a reset command can make players rechoose origins in a chosen layer.
Who it’s for: Server owners running Origins who want to control how many players pick each origin. It is mainly a tool for multiplayer servers rather than single-player worlds.
How it compares
Origins Builder is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 with a client and server environment, released under All rights reserved and not open source. Origins Extra Keybinds is client-side only, covers 1.17 – 1.20.2 on Fabric, and is also not open source. No Cap is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and published for 1.17.1 on Fabric, so it limits origins without requiring clients to install anything.
