Origins: Spore Lizard
by Kawatt
Origins: Spore Lizard adds a lizard origin for Origins, where a player is smaller than average and can climb walls, crawl through tight tunnels and glow in changing colors.
What it does
The lizard origin is delivered as a datapack for Fabric and needs Origins and Pehkui, which provides the size power that makes the player smaller. Sneaking starts and stops crawling, and while crawling the player fits through narrow tunnels. The origin lets the player climb walls, ceilings and poles, and landing on soft floors avoids fall damage.
The glow changes color with health and environment, and dyes held in the offhand, applied by sneaking, set it manually; a water bottle resets it. The origin trades three hearts of maximum health for these abilities, and it adds gameplay effects such as picking up distant items, chipping damage with the tongue, and regenerating health around plants. Installation requires the server to run the mod, while clients may add it optionally. The mod is published for 1.19.2 – 1.21.1 across five release versions, and the latest Fabric file, 1.1+mod, targets 1.20.2. It is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Crawling and tunnels
Sneaking starts a crawl that lets the player pass through spaces too tight to walk through, and jumping stops it.
Climbing
The player can climb walls, ceilings and poles, and move through small gaps that would stop an average player.
Glow color control
Dyes held in the offhand and applied while sneaking set the glow color, and a water bottle resets it.
Tongue and reach
The tongue picks up items from a distance and can chip damage from enemies, as part of the lizard's abilities.
Health trade-off
The origin gives up three hearts of maximum health in exchange for its size, climbing and glow abilities.

Lunar Origins is Fabric-only for 1.20.1, not open source, and under All rights reserved, with the client and server both required.
