Halfshade — An Origins Addon

Halfshade — An Origins Addon

A fallen warrior caught between humanity and shadow. Become a Halfshade, slip through walls, strike with wither-infused swords, and fight through your final breath.

Adds one playable origin to Origins (NeoForge) 0.3 by IAFEnvoy for Minecraft Java 1.21.1.

Abilities

• Night Wind: gain Speed I at night.
• Shadow Form: press the Origins primary ability key to toggle shadow form. Phase through walls, or sneak to phase down through the floor. Blocks prohibited by Origins remain impassable.
• Shadow Venom: sword hits in shadow form inflict Wither I for 3 seconds, with a shared 6-second cooldown. A short message confirms a successful application. It does not work in human form.
• Last Breath: lethal damage forces you into shadow form with 3.5 hearts, Strength II, and Speed I. Enemies can finish you off, and you die after 10 seconds regardless. Hunger cannot cancel this state.
• No Legs: take no fall damage in shadow form.

Weaknesses

• You have 7 hearts in normal and shadow forms.
• Fire and lava damage are doubled. Totems of Undying cannot save you.
• Shadow form multiplies normal exhaustion by 5. Saturation is used before hunger; standing still does not create a separate hunger drain.
• In shadow form you cannot eat, drink, use items, pick up items, interact with blocks or entities, or break blocks. You may attack with swords while outside solid blocks.
• Direct sunlight sets your shadow form on fire.
• You cannot manually leave shadow form inside a solid block. At 6 hunger points / 3 food icons, the form ends automatically, even inside a wall.
• Leaving solid blocks in shadow form causes Blindness for 2 seconds.

Hunger warning

A black vignette appears in shadow form. It turns bright red at 10 hunger points / 5 food icons, warning that only two food icons remain before the form switches off. The centre remains clear, and the vignette uses reduced opacity.

Requirements and installation

• Minecraft Java 1.21.1
• NeoForge 21.1.228 or later in the 21.1 branch
• Origins (NeoForge), exactly version 0.3, by IAFEnvoy
• Jupiter, required by that Origins port

Put the Halfshade JAR in your mods folder alongside the required mods. For multiplayer, install it on the server and clients. Choose Полутень in the Origins selection screen. Current in-game ability names and messages are in Russian.

Use the key assigned to Origins Primary Active in Controls. In an existing world, use an Orb of Origin or this administrator command:

/origin set @s origins:origin poluten:poluten

This addon targets this specific NeoForge port; other Origins ports and versions have not been verified. Durations use game ticks: 10 seconds assumes 20 TPS.

Development

The concept, abilities, and balance decisions were created by the project author. The implementation, project icon, and parts of the project text were created with AI assistance, followed by automated server checks and manual gameplay testing by the author. Licensed under MIT. This is an independent community addon, not an official Origins release.

Русское описание

Полутень — происхождение воина, проигравшего сражение с тьмой и ставшего получеловеком-полутенью.

Ночью вы получаете Скорость I. Основная способность позволяет проходить сквозь стены, а приседание — сквозь пол. В теневой форме удары мечом накладывают Иссушение I на 3 секунды с общим кулдауном 6 секунд; урон от падения отсутствует.

Цена способностей: 7 сердец, удвоенный урон от огня и лавы, неработающие тотемы. В тени обычное истощение увеличено в 5 раз; нельзя есть, пить, использовать и подбирать предметы, взаимодействовать и ломать блоки. На солнце тень загорается.

При 5 значках сытости чёрная виньетка становится ярко-красной. На 3 значках форма отключается даже внутри стены. Вручную выйти из тени внутри блока нельзя. После выхода из блоков в теневой форме наступает слепота на 2 секунды.

Последний вздох: при смертельном уроне остаются 3,5 сердца, включается принудительная теневая форма, Сила II и Скорость I. Вас можно добить; через 10 секунд смерть неизбежна. Голод не отключает эту форму.

Нужны Minecraft 1.21.1, NeoForge, Origins (NeoForge) строго 0.3 от IAFEnvoy и Jupiter. Дополнение устанавливается в mods на сервере и клиентах. Идея и баланс принадлежат автору проекта; реализация создана с помощью ИИ.
