Origins Power Expansion

by Jarva

Origins Power Expansion adds extra powers to the Origins class system, with new power types and actions that a datapack author can use to build origins.

FabricForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.16.5

What it does

The expansion is a library: it defines power types and an action system that extend what origins can do within Origins. Origins itself does the work of assigning origins and powers to players, so this mod supplies the additional building blocks rather than a standalone gameplay layer.

Files are published for Fabric and Forge, both for game version 1.16.5 only. Client and server both need the mod, so it must be installed on each side. Fabric requires Architectury API and Origins on Fabric, and Forge requires Architectury API and Origins on Forge. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public links to source code, an issue tracker and a wiki.

Key features

  1. Expanded power types

    Adds power types beyond those in base Origins, so origins can grant behaviors that the stock set does not cover.

  2. Power action system

    Provides an action system that powers can trigger, letting datapack authors chain effects within an origin.

  3. Architectury API integration

    Builds on Architectury API on both loaders, so the same content runs on Fabric and Forge.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Datapack authors and modpack makers who want origins with powers beyond the defaults in Origins. Players who only use the standard origins have no need for it.

How it compares

Full comparison

Origins: Math is a Fabric-only library for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4 under the MIT License, so it does not run on Forge and targets later versions. Epic`s Origins is a Fabric and Forge add-on for 1.20.1 under the Apache License 2.0, aimed at a different set of origins than this expansion.
