Origins add on - Darkner origin
by Izzylan
Origins add on - Darkner origin adds a Deltarune-themed origin that players pick on a new origin selection screen.
What it does
The origin is a Fabric add-on for Origins and needs the Origins mod installed to work. Choosing it gives the player three extra hearts tied to darkness, a constant Night Vision effect, and a heal of three hearts on the active ability key G, which is bound by default. Only one power from Origins: Legacy keeps working with it, since Origins: Legacy is somewhat incompatible and breaks several of its other powers.
Light has a cost for this origin. Standing in bright light takes away four hearts and applies Weakness, while darkness works in the player's favor. The starting kit includes four Ender Pearls, four Echo Shards and one Glass Block. The mod is made with the original Origins design in mind and uses its own items, crafted from a Prince Hat and a scarf. Its items give light-level and dark-matter bonuses, and a Keep Mind item gives the same protection as an iron helmet, while the Prince Hat gives more defense and higher durability.
Installation covers the server and each player's game. The latest Fabric file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.1, published on 2026-07-30 under the MIT License, and the source code is open source.
Key features
Darkness-based extra hearts
Choosing the origin grants three extra hearts that come from darkness rather than from the usual health source.
Active heal on key G
The active ability key G, bound by default, heals three hearts when pressed.
Constant Night Vision
The origin keeps Night Vision active at all times, so dark areas stay visible to the player.
Crafted Prince Hat and scarf
The main component is a Prince Hat crafted together with a scarf, which yields the Keep Mind and the Prince Hat items.
