TEcho Addon
by Technicman69
TEcho Addon by Technicman69 extends Origins with new power types that change the sounds an origin makes, such as replacing footstep or hurt sounds.
What it does
TEcho Addon is an addon for Origins, a required dependency, and runs on the Apoli power system it builds on. It adds datapack-driven power types and entity action types, so origins can be defined with new behavior without a Java mod of their own. Its main goal is to offer a substitute for the custom footstep power of another addon and to expand the set of powers over time.
The Replace Sound Emission power swaps the sound a power holder emits for a different one, for example making a player's burp or eating sound silent, or replacing a footstep sound with the sound of the block stepped upon unless that block is wool. The Replace Sound Reception power changes sounds the holder hears. Both can set pitch, volume and hearing distance, and can pick a sound at random with a chance value.
The Play Sound entity action type plays a sound event for the holder and adds fields to the original Apoli play sound action. Resource values can be passed to uniforms and post-processing shaders through a Resource Value Provider. TEcho Addon is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds are published for Fabric and Forge, both for 1.20.1, with 1.2.0 as the latest file dated 2026-02-22.

What the author says
Primary goal of this mod was to implement a better substitute for apugli's custom_footstep power, but I plan to expand with new powers, actions and conditions when I come up with some cool ideas. I plan to make some of it a part of Apoli for Origins 1.20.1 later on:>
