Origins: Imp
by VNull
Origins: Imp is a Fabric addon that lets players take on the form of a mischievous imp, with its own abilities and drawbacks, in an adventure-oriented playthrough.
What it does
Once a player becomes an imp, the character gains a set of abilities: dark vision for moving through the darkest caves, a fire immunity effect, and a fiery projectile that can be launched on a 130 second cooldown. Movement is quicker, with a 20% speed boost, while the imp body is more fragile and loses three hearts, making survival harder.
The imp form also changes how the character interacts with gear. Holding precious metals grants buffs such as haste and strength, and the imp is small enough to crawl through tight spaces where others would be detected, but shields are too heavy for its tiny hands and cannot be used. Origins: Imp requires Pehkui for its size changes and runs on the server, so server owners install it while players may add it on the client. The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric and data packs, with files covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.3.
Key features
Dark vision
The imp can see in the darkest caves, which makes underground exploration easier without light sources.
Fire immunity and projectiles
Fire immunity protects against burning, and fiery projectiles can be launched on a 130 second cooldown.
Precious metal buffs
Holding gold, emerald or diamond grants haste, strength and resistance effects, depending on the metal.
Small size and shield limits
The imp fits into tight spaces, but shields are restricted because the imp's hands are too small to use them.
