Simply Fantastical Origins
Simply Fantastical Origins gives players a set of fantasy species to choose as their Origins, from dwarves and elves to orcs, tieflings and dragonborn.
What it does
Each species is an origin for the Origins framework, so the choice is made when a character is created and shapes what the player can do. The collection covers classic fantasy peoples such as dwarves, elves, halflings, orcs and goblins, along with less familiar ones like lizardfolk, tabaxi, gargoyles, ogres and wraiths. Dragonborn keep some mythical abilities from their ancestors.
The origins carry a modest impact, level 1 in the Origins scale, so each one comes with small drawbacks as well as its advantages. Dwarves are suited to caves, elves are skilled with the bow, and lizardfolk resist poison in swamps. The mod needs Caelus API, Fabric API, Origins and Pehkui on Fabric, and Origins (Forge) on Forge. Remove Base Origins is optional.
Simply Fantastical Origins runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files exist for Fabric and Forge for 1.20 and 1.20.1, with 1.1.1.2 as the latest build for 1.20.1, released under All rights reserved; the code is not open source.
