Origins Randomiser
by QuantumXenon
With Origins Randomiser, each new player receives a random origin when first joining a world, and the origin can be reassigned at death or after a set number of uses.
What it does
The mod assigns origins from the Origins mod by chance rather than letting players pick. Assignment can happen the first time a player joins a world, at death, or after a configurable number of uses. Server owners set the number of lives and the number of uses per player, and an update to either value applies to the amount given from then on.
Origins Randomiser depends on Cloth Config API, Fabric API, Origins and Origins (Forge). Mod Menu is optional and adds a settings screen when present. The code is under the MIT License, so it is open source, and the source, issue tracker and wiki are all public. Files exist for 1.18.2 – 1.21.1 across Fabric, Forge and Quilt, with the latest builds dated 2024-11-04.
The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Translation help is accepted through the Crowdin page, and bugs or feedback go to the GitHub issue tracker.
Key features
Random origin on first join
A player who joins a world for the first time is given a random origin automatically.
Random origin on death
Origins can be reassigned at death, with the chance and timing set in the configuration.
Lives and uses limits
Server owners set how many lives and how many randomised uses each player receives.
Configurable options
Many options control how origins are assigned, so the randomisation can be tuned per server.
