OriginClasses
OriginClasses gives every player a class to pick, with its own strengths, weaknesses and abilities, on Fabric for 1.21.1.
What it does
OriginClasses is a class system modeled on the choose-a-role idea from the Origins mod. Each class comes with its own abilities, strengths, weaknesses and progression, so a playthrough can feel different from the start. The classes change how the game is played rather than adding a single item or block, and the author describes the system as built to stay fresh over long worlds.
The mod covers the whole journey, not just the first hours, and is aimed at survival worlds, roleplay servers and SMPs. Its classes are balanced, with each one offering clear advantages in some areas and drawbacks in others, and the author says more classes have been added since release. Files target 1.21.1 only and run on Fabric with no other loader listed. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is under the MIT License, but the mod is not open source, which means the license covers the code while the project's distribution is not described as open.
Key features

Magic-based powers
