About Origins Minus

From Modrinth

A redesign of Origins focused on simplicity, fun, and self-expression - not balance.

<!--suppress HtmlDeprecatedTag, XmlDeprecatedElement -->

Origins focused on simplicity, not balance.
Requires Origins. Replaces all base origins.
Also try Statures and TooManyOrigins(Minus)!

> Temporary Notice: Origins Minus 1.21 is only compatible with Origins 1.13.0-alpha.9 due to issues in subsequent versions.

Origins Minus is a collection of simple origins designed to replace the built-in set. Each origin is designed to:

  • Be easy to understand and easy to remember
  • Add something unique to the game feel
  • Reduce the friction and difficulty of a specific aspect of the game
  • Invoke no drawbacks (1 dot) or have a small implicit drawback (2 dots)
  • Be opt-in fun, without punishing details you can forget
  • Invite different builds via traversal mechanics
  • Be ambiguously themed so you can add your own personality!

With this in mind, the new origins aren't at all balanced against vanilla (or eachother!) - they're just for fun.

Versions

Note that using this pack with Origins Forge or unmarked versions may result in non-functional powers.

Afterword

All mods are built on the work of many others.

Several origins are adapted with permission from Origins Plus by Dan's Other Clone - Hence the name!

This mod is included in Tinkerer's Quilt - our modpack about ease of play and self-expression.

We're open to better ways to implement our mods. If you see something odd and have an idea, let us know!


Tinkerer's: Quilt - Smithing - Origins - Statures - HUD
Loveletters: Tabs - Atlas - Portable Crafting - Drogstyle
Others: Switchy - Crunchy - Starcaller
