Do you wish that your Minecraft character had a specific origin that gave them specific strengths or weaknesses? Origins Mod is the answer to this question, it does this by giving your Minecraft character an origin taken from the creatures and concepts in-game. This mod is compatible with Fabric and QuiltMC.
The mod lets players choose their background, race, and special abilities. Instead of just being a regular human character, you can be an Arachnid, Avian, Feline, Merling, Blazeborn, or Phantom. Each race has unique traits that can be useful or not so useful. This adds a fun role-playing element to the game and makes it more immersive.
You can start a new adventure with your chosen race and use your special abilities to overcome challenges and explore the Minecraft world. Don’t be afraid to be different and make your game more exciting by being someone special and unique.
Each origin in the mod comes with its own set of powers and weaknesses/drawbacks. The player is free to choose from any of the 9 available options. If those aren’t enough you can create a custom one with powers and drawbacks of your own choice.
