Origins: Classes
by Apace
Origins: Classes is an add-on for Origins that lets a player pick a class alongside the origin, with smaller benefits and no drawbacks.
What it does
Classes sit next to origins on the same selection, so a character gets one origin and one class. The class grants lesser abilities than an origin does, and none of them carries a penalty. Each class is a separate option with its own set of effects, covering combat, crafting, farming, exploration and taming.
The mod is published for Fabric and Quilt across 10 release versions, 1.17 – 1.20.1, with builds for 1.17, 1.17.1, 1.18, 1.18.2, 1.19, 1.19.1, 1.19.3, 1.19.4, 1.20 and 1.20.1. It requires Origins on the same loader. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is open source under the MIT License, and source and an issue tracker are public. Other catalog mods, such as Origins: Extra Classes and Dimension Jumper Origin, are built on top of this one.
Key features
Archer class
Projectiles fly more accurately, and the bow slows the player less while drawn.
Beastmaster class
Tamed animals gain permanent extra hearts and damage, and potion effects also reach nearby tamed animals.
Blacksmith class
Crafted tools and armor give small benefits, and repairs at an anvil or in the crafting grid are more efficient.
Cleric class
Potion durations can be doubled, and enchanting is more effective for the player.
Cook class
Crafted food restores more nourishment, and cooking food in a smoker grants extra experience.
Explorer class
The player starts with nine empty maps, a compass and a clock, and does not exhaust from sprinting.
Farmer class
Bone meal is twice as effective when the player uses it, and crops sometimes drop double loot at harvest.
Lumberjack class
Crafting planks from logs yields two extra planks, and an axe can fell a whole tree at once.

What the author says
In addition to choosing an origin, you now also choose a class. Classes provide smaller benefits than origins, but they come without drawbacks. You can add your own classes with datapacks by creating an origin, and then adding it to the layer at data/origins-classes/origin_layers/class.json.
