Origins: Ender Goblin
by Phremic
Ender Goblin turns a player into a goblin-type Origin for Origins, changing health, damage and the effects of water, pumpkins and ender pearls.
What it does
Ender Goblin is an Origins add-on, so it requires Origins and Pehkui to be installed beside it. Once a player picks the Ender Goblin origin, the character gets a set of traits: fewer hearts, a small body size from Pehkui, and a higher natural luck value than other origins. Contact with water causes damage and sometimes a random teleport, which is the mod's main drawback.
Pumpkin headgear blocks the view while worn, so a player wearing a carved pumpkin sees nothing. Ender pearls can be thrown freely, and each one teleports the player to wherever it lands. Melee attacks deal reduced damage to other entities, which balances the smaller health pool.
The server must run the mod, while players may add it on their side, so a server owner installs it and clients are optional. It is published for Forge and NeoForge on Minecraft 1.20.1, and it can also be used through a data pack. Ender Goblin is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files were first published on 2026-03-22 and last updated on 2026-07-08, with version 1.0.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest build on both loaders.
Key features
Water hazard
Contact with water deals damage and can randomly teleport the player, so water becomes a threat rather than a neutral block.
Reduced health
The goblin origin starts with four fewer hearts than the default character, with more luck to offset it.
Pumpkin blindness
Wearing a carved pumpkin blocks sight entirely, so the helmet slot has a practical cost.
Ender pearl travel
Thrown ender pearls can be used freely and teleport the player to wherever each pearl lands.
