Origins: Chrono Human
by Royzi
Origins: Chrono Human adds a time-based origin to the Origins system, where the player spends Chrono-energy on abilities that bend the flow of time.
What it does
Players with this origin manipulate the flow of seconds and minutes by spending Chrono-energy. The resource regenerates slowly over time, and its sparks gather around the character as it fills. Each use draws on that energy, so the player has to decide when to act.
The cost is a fragile timeline. As the timeline weakens, it becomes shaky and begins ticking. If the energy reaches zero, the timeline collapses and the character is removed from existence, so pushing the abilities too far ends the run. Fragile Timeline also makes the player take double magic damage, which makes mages a natural enemy.
The mod requires Origins on both Fabric and Forge. Pehkui is an optional dependency. Origins: Chrono Human runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1, under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source.

Temporal Anchor
Costs 30 energy and rewinds the player to a previous state, a button for undoing damage and similar mistakes.
Time Acceleration

What the author says
Summary: Masters of time itself. These humans can manipulate the flow of seconds and minutes, but messing with the timeline comes at a cost. They rely on Chrono-energy — a resource that regenerates slowly and sparks around them when it fills up. Push it too far, and you might just collapse your own existence…
