RPG Origins Paths

by Sir_BananaCat

RPG Origins Paths adds seven origins modeled on RPG classes to the Origins origin selector, so players pick a class-like start when creating a character.

FabricForgeQuiltClient and serverApache License 2.01.16.5 – 1.20.2

What it does

Each new origin carries its own traits: one takes half a heart less damage and deals 10% more damage, another starts with a shield, and another gets hungry faster. Choosing an origin sets these effects from the first moment of a world. Paths works as the normal Origins selector, so the choice screen looks the same as in the base mod, with the RPG-style origins added to the list.

Origins work must be present for Paths to load, and the mod is built on top of that dependency. Because later Origins builds changed heavily, the author has focused release work on the older builds and plans to switch to the latest three versions when they arrive. Paths runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across 14 release versions under the Apache License 2.0. The code is not open source.

The mod suits survival and modpack worlds that already use Origins and want class-flavored starting choices. Modpack authors can include it, and the author notes that ports to other loaders and versions were made by request. Because the author has discussed issues with later Origins builds, players should check the version list before updating a world.

Key features

  1. Seven RPG-style origins

    Seven new origins are based on RPG classes and appear next to the existing Origins choices.

  2. Stat modifiers

    Origins can halve incoming damage, raise outgoing damage, start the player with a shield or speed up hunger.

  3. Normal selector flow

    Origin choice uses the standard Origins selector, so existing Origins pages and steps stay unchanged.

  4. Multi-loader builds

    The same origins are built for Fabric, Forge and Quilt on the supported version range.

What the author says

I do not support 1.21+ as of now, as Origins is in beta, with many changes that break or cause issues with RPG Origins. If you want to use it on your own, be my guest, just be prepared for issues A: It’s already supported, but only on select versions.
