Origins (Forge)
With Origins for Forge, players pick an origin at the start of a world, and each origin changes how the character plays, from reach and swimming to damage in rain.
What it does
Origins for Forge is an unofficial port of the Origins mod for Fabric, built to match the Fabric version's feature set. The port adds nine new origins, and no content is added or removed beyond the original. Each origin gives a character its own traits, such as teleporting, extended reach, unlimited underwater breathing, or faster swimming in water.
Some origins carry drawbacks as well as strengths. A character may take damage in water or rain, or be unable to see entities that wear pumpkins. Datapacks written for the Fabric version should load, while addons written for the Fabric version will not work with this port. Caelus API must be installed next to the mod on Forge and NeoForge.
Files are published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1, with a set of releases covering 1.16.5 – 1.20.1. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.
