Origins: Alchemist
by Sapusun
Origins: Alchemist is a Fabric equipment mod that adds a notebook, research bar and alchemy recipes to the Origins framework.
What it does
Gameplay stays close to vanilla, and progression scales with the player's familiarity. Field Research fills a bar as new recipes are explored, and the bar grants experience over time. A new character starts with a Well-Worn Notebook, a set of bottles and a pair of shears under the Standard Issue feature. The Mind Over Matter feature trades some attack damage for greater vulnerability to incoming damage, and players gain more overall XP in return.
Crafting is extended in several places. Special recipes can be made from the inventory screen by clicking one ingredient on another, and bundles can be crafted, leather armor repaired and tools waxed there. The Component Pouch adds inventory space for alchemical reagents, and the Flask Carrier adds space for potions. Both are opened with a configurable key. Potion recipes appear in the notebook, and Skilled Alchemist gives a level-up requirement tied to calcinating a first potion. Coastal recipes are granted through the Heart Sea key item.
Installation requires Farmer's Delight Refabricated and Origins on Fabric. The mod runs on the server, and clients can join without it. It is published only for Fabric, for 1.20.1, with the latest 1.0x file dated 2025-11-28 on the beta channel. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source. Snapshot builds are not published.
