Origins:Aquanoid
by RoyziChan
Origins:Aquanoid is a Fabric and Forge adventure add-on for 1.20.1 that gives players an aquatic origin, with changed movement, health and diet in exchange for its unusual traits.
What it does
The origin is built around an ancient race of aquatic beings whose bodies are made of condensed moisture. Those bodies feel most at home in watery surroundings, so the origin reflects a native habitat that the End dimension resembles more closely than the Overworld or the Nether. In the Nether, the fiery, arid air causes physical discomfort and slows movement, and players there suffer slowness that reduces their speed and reaction time.
Several other traits shape how a player plays the origin. Maximum health is lowered by two hearts because of the fluid nature of the body, the hitbox shrinks during dodges, and the body can only take cooked raw salmon and chorus fruit as food. Abilities include a short dash that grants several status effects, a teleport that fires three times at irregular intervals, and an unusually long stay underwater. The origin also regenerates health continuously while in the End. Origins:Aquanoid requires Origins and Pehkui. Origins supplies the origin system the mod is built on, and Pehkui controls the size change the origin applies.
