Origins: The Forsaken
by ItsJimMilton
Origins: The Forsaken adds seven combat-focused origins to Origins, each with its own drawbacks, and it is installed on the server alone.
What it does
Each of the seven origins brings a set of combat mechanics and a matching list of penalties. The Wraith Knight can dash three times over a short distance, and the first attack after a dash hits harder for three seconds. It can also parry incoming attacks and gains weapon damage and natural armor, but cannot use Elytras and cannot eat golden foods, relying on Totems of Undying instead. The Blight Bearer releases an area poison cloud and heals when it strikes poisoned entities, at the cost of only seven hearts and extra fire damage. The Bloodbound Lycan transforms into a larger form with stronger stats, senses nearby living entities and gains lifesteal, while its roar slows nearby targets.
The mod depends on Origins, Caelus API and Pehkui, so all three must be present on the server. Pehkui supplies the scaling used by the transformed forms. Origins: The Forsaken is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
