Really Simple Origins
by FreddyBendyG
Really Simple Origins is a Forge add-on for Origins that gives players one ability each, with no extra downsides, for 1.20.1.
What it does
Really Simple Origins adds a set of simpler origins for the Origins framework, built for players who find the original origins too complicated. Each origin grants a single ability and leaves the rest of vanilla Minecraft untouched, so a player can change how the game is played without taking on penalties such as being unable to stand in sunlight. The mod is distributed as a Forge file and as a data pack, and it needs Origins and Pehkui to run.
The server must run the mod, while players may add it to their own client, so the server is the side that depends on it. Files for 1.20.1 are the only versions published, and the latest, 2.0.0, is dated 2025-01-25. The mod is released under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source.
Key features
Teleport origin
Lets a player teleport to the spot they look at, up to 120 blocks away, with a 4-second cooldown.
Swap origin and mimic
A swap ability exchanges places with another entity on a 1 to 2 second cooldown, while the mimic origin combines teleport, triple jump, speed and invisibility.
Size changer
Scales the player to small, normal or big: small moves faster and hits weaker, while big hits harder and moves slower.
Wings and triple jump
Wings give a boosted elytra flight without rockets, while the triple jump origin allows three jumps in the air for easier traversal.
