Soul Squad Origins
by thatrobin
Soul Squad Origins, a Fabric addon for the Origins mod, adds soul-based origins built around a possessing spirit called the Poltergeist.
What it does
The Poltergeist origin turns the player into a spirit that goes around the world possessing blocks. A possessed block gives the spirit its mining level, attack damage and, for some blocks, unique powers. The spirit has two forms: the spirit form can phase through blocks but cannot break or place them, while the possessed form interacts with the world in a corporeal way and slowly wears down the block it occupies. Each block breaks after a time that depends on its material, and the spirit then has to repossess a new one.
The mod groups its soul-based origins into one expansion and includes the Hivemind origin next to the Poltergeist. Because the spirit has no living body that can hold tools or armour, it gains the properties of the blocks it possesses instead. Some effects are tied to particular blocks, such as fire immunity while possessing netherite or extra jump height near nine beacon base blocks. Installation requires Fabric API, Origins and Pehkui. Soul Squad Origins is published only for Fabric, and both the server and every player need it. Its files cover 1.19.3 and 1.20.1, and the source code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Block possession
Pressing the primary key inside a block possesses it, and pressing it again releases the spirit where it stands.
Two spirit forms
The spirit phases through blocks in one form and interacts with the world in a corporeal form while possessing.
Block swapping
Crouching and pressing the swap key while holding a block swaps the possessed block with the one in hand.
Crafting and smelting aids
Portable crafting, auto-smelting furnaces and smokers, a hopper teleport within a five-block radius, and a dispenser that fires arrows are included as helpers.
