Origins: Petripod
by SirCortisol
Petripod adds Origins powers to Minecraft, with squid-like flying creatures that a player can take on as a race when the server enables it.
What it does
The data pack adds an origin built around squid-like beings that soar through the troposphere and gather condensed vapor. Petripods can soak up liquids, discharge them in a concentrated jet that drives them forward, and operate squidgy tendrils that push air behind them so they glide through the canopy. Water that seeps through the cottony interior supplies their essence, and the interior floods with pressure before a sharp spritz.
The mod is a data pack for the Origins mod, so it needs the Origins Mod on either the 1.20.1 or the 1.20.2 build of Minecraft. It is published for Fabric only, as a server mod: the server requires it, while players may add it on the client, and joining players do not need it to play on a server that runs it. Files exist for 1.20.1 and 1.20.2, with version 1.0.0 for 1.20.2 as the latest. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source.

What the author says
Note: You have to add the datapack manually to your world if you are intending to add it with the modrinth app. Dismal, gloomy squid-like beings that soar the troposphere in search of condensed vapor. Petripoda soak up liquids to discharge strategically whether for traversal, or defense.
