Origins: Goblin

by Phremic

Origins: Goblin gives a player a goblin origin in Origins, with a smaller body, reduced melee damage and better mining luck.

ForgeNeoForgeServer required, client optionalMIT License1.20.1

What it does

Choosing the goblin origin in Origins changes the player's stats. The body is about one block tall and the player starts with four fewer hearts. Melee attacks deal reduced damage, while mining tends to turn up loot that other origins miss, and the player is luckier in general.

The server must run the mod, while players may add it to their client, so a server can run it without every player installing it. It requires Origins and Pehkui, both of which must be installed alongside it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest file for each loader, dated 2026-07-08. The first release came out on 2026-03-22. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source, and the mod is also offered as a data pack.

Key features

  1. Goblin origin

    Adds a goblin origin to Origins, which players pick like any other origin.

  2. Smaller body and fewer hearts

    The goblin body is about one block tall and the player has four fewer hearts than usual.

  3. Mining luck

    Mining turns up extra loot that other origins tend to miss, and the goblin is generally luckier.

  4. Reduced melee damage

    Melee attacks deal less damage, so combat is weaker for a goblin than for other origins.

Questions

Does Origins: Goblin need Origins installed?

Yes. Origins is a required dependency, so it has to be installed next to Origins: Goblin on the server.

Which loader should Origins: Goblin use?

Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, both for 1.20.1 only.

Does a player need Origins: Goblin to join a server that runs it?

No. Players can join without installing it, because only the server must run the mod.
