Origins: Arcanist
by Sapusun
Origins: Arcanist is a Fabric magic mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that builds on the Origins mod, and it is required to use Origins: Arcanist.
What it does
Origins: Arcanist adds a magic-focused origin layer on top of Origins, which must be installed alongside it. Gameplay stays close to vanilla, so the mod changes a player's abilities without reshaping the rest of survival. Files are published as a data pack and for Fabric only, with a single release, 0.1 for 1.20.1, dated 2025-07-20.
The mod is server required and client optional: the server must run it, while players may add it but do not need to. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source. The pack was built for Fabric, so it probably will not work well on Forge.
