Sheepish's Origin Orbs
by ItsSheepish
Sheepish's Origin Orbs adds orbs that change specific origin layers of a player, crafted from custom recipes on Fabric for 1.20.2.
What it does
Orbs from this mod are the means to switch parts of a player's origin. Each orb is tied to a layer, and a player who holds one can use it to change that layer. The orbs follow custom recipes, so they are obtained through crafting rather than by chance. Origin Deities and Elemental Alignment are listed among the mod's features, both placing the orbs within the origin system.
Sheepish's Origin Orbs requires Origins, which provides the origin layers the orbs act on. Orb pieces can be gained by defeating a boss mob, which drops between two and three pieces no matter what looting level the player has. Four pieces, along with a totem, start the process of making a custom orb, and a broken orb can be crafted back together.
The mod is published for Fabric only, in three game versions 1.20 – 1.20.2, with 1.0 for 1.20.2 as the latest file. The server and every player need the mod installed. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
