Origins: Classes (Forge)
by RaymondBlaze
Origins: Classes lets players pick a class alongside their origin, adding smaller perks that come without drawbacks.
What it does
Once a player has chosen an origin, the mod asks for a class as well. Classes grant benefits that are smaller than origin powers, and none of them carry a penalty. Each class is a separate set of abilities that a player can select, so a character can combine an origin with a class for a different playstyle.
The mod is an unofficial port of Origins: Classes and works as an add-on for Origins on Forge. It is not ported to lower versions, because the Forge version of Origins is not considered stable enough there and is no longer maintained. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, with 1.2.1 for 1.20.1 as the latest release. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Other class-based and origin-based add-ons are listed below for comparison, and the mod works alongside the original Origins mod, which is required for it to function.
Key features
Archer class
Projectiles fly more accurately, and the player is slowed less while drawing a bow.
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 they can be repaired more efficiently at an anvil or in a crafting grid.
Cleric class
Potions can be refined so that their instant effects are stronger and their lasting effects last longer, and enchanting is more effective.
Cook class
Crafted food provides more nourishment, and cooking food in a smoker grants extra experience.

In addition to choosing an origin, you now also choose a class. Classes provide smaller benefits than origins, but they come without drawbacks.
