Origins Minus
A redesign of Origins focused on simplicity, fun, and self-expression - not balance.
Quick answer
Which Origins Minus release should I use?
Origins Minus 2.4.0+1.21 targets 1.21.1 with Fabric, Quilt. Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional. All 2 required mods have matching files.
Where it goes
Is Origins Minus required on the client, server, or both?
Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional.
The source marks this as usable on both the client and server.
What else does Origins Minus 2.4.0+1.21 need?
2.4.0+1.21. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Origins, Fabric API first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup. 3 come through another mod in the chain.
3 extra mods were pulled in by other dependencies. Indented rows show who needs each one. We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

About this project
What does Origins Minus add?

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
Datapack versions can be directly downloaded from each branch: 1.19 - 1.20 - 1.21
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!
