Unique Origins
by TheWarTank
Unique Origins is a data pack that adds a set of extra origins to the Origins mod, so players choose from more starting powers.
What it does
The data pack adds a collection of new origins built on the Origins framework, each granting a distinct ability. Its current version includes seven origins. Among them, a poisonous fangs origin inflicts deadly poison and lets the player fill empty glass bottles with poison, while a Sudden Strike origin launches the player forward with great velocity, and a timed jump can deal lethal damage on landing.
The Origins mod is required, and the data pack cannot run without it. Other origins cover keen eyesight that sees a little better in the dark, entity camouflaging, shedding skin to remove some negative status effects in exchange for good ones, and sneaking. One origin lets a player gain extra saturation from leaving remains of an animal mob after a kill. Custom meats can be added through a tag file, and an add-on configuration file is included for further changes.
Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with a data pack option for servers. The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out, and the mod is released under the MIT License. It is not open source.
