Origin Superpowers

by Vexxen1 · on Modrinth

Welcome to Origin Superpowers, or OSP for short. OSP is a datapack that overhauls the origins mod in its entirety, adding 60 superpowers you can get.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.20.2–1.20.4 · Data pack⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.1 · Data pack⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.1 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.1 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.1 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.1 · Quilt
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Welcome

Welcome to Origin Superpowers or OSP for short. OSP is a datapack that overhauls the origins mod in its entirety, adding 60 superpowers for you to acquire. Upon joining the game, you will receive a random superpower from that pool of 60. These superpowers are categorized into five rarities, affecting the chances of obtaining a specific rarity. Before we get into it, i must note this datapack is balanced for servers, and multiplayer. There is a few powers that do not work, and are useless in single player.

Getting New Superpowers!

Upon your first game entry, you have an 80% chance for a common power and a 20% chance for an uncommon power. All powers within each rarity have an equal chance of being obtained, unless a power has reached its limit for the number of players who can possess it. As a result, it's impossible to acquire all superpowers this way. So, how can you obtain better powers?

Power Crystals

Power Crystals fall from the sky at random. They fall more in the end. You can also craft power crystals! One method is using the dragon egg as a catalyst, with end crystal, and dragon's breath. Another with end crystal and dragon's breath alone, but less effective.

When you use a Power Crystal, you have these chances at each rarity:

Elder Power Crystals

You may have noticed the absence of Eldritch in those chances. To obtain an Eldritch power, you need to upgrade the crystal. This can be done by clicking on the Power Crystal with an upgrade item within an inventory (similar to putting an item inside a bundle). There are two upgrade items: The Dragon egg(reuses) and Nether Stars. This can be edited via tags. When you use an Elder Crystal, you have these chances at each rarity:

Combating Eldritch Powers

However, a challenge arises. What if all the Eldritch powers are taken, and you desire one? There is a solution: disable powers. When a player's power is disabled, the magical aspect ceases to function, while the physical part continues to work. For instance, shooting fire would be considered magic, while having wings sprout from your back would be deemed physical. When any power is disabled, and that player is killed by another, there is a 25% chance they will lose their power. Certain superpowers can disable others, and there is also an item - the Anti-Power Crystal. Crafted by clicking on an Echo Shard with an Elder Power Crystal, this item, when in your inventory, disables your own power and those of players within a small radius. Attacking a player with an Anti-Power Crystal in hand results in a temporary disablement. Furthermore, if you place on on a beacon, via a item frame, it will create a AOE equal to the beacons effect radius. If you ever need an Eldritch power and someone else possesses the one you want or all slots are taken, you can eliminate them while they are disabled. This method also serves as a means to counter the powerful Eldritch powers.

End & Credits

That concludes all the information I'll provide for free, as mystery is a part of the pack. Questions like "What powers are there?", "Can anyone combat my power effectively?", and "What is that player's power?" are meant to be left unanswered, enhancing the fun.

Additionally, this datapack features an addon API, enabling you to add new powers to the game via addon datapacks. Tutorials will be available soon.

The pack offers excellent admin tools and settings if you are running this on your server. To view them, be in creative mode and run /trigger op_menu. Through this menu, you can edit the limits of each power and rarity, disable powers or rarities you dislike, and view who possesses which power. It also provides tools to manage various aspects. You can even create addon datapacks that modify the item used to upgrade Elder Crystals, change the chances for each rarity for each method (joining, Power Crystal, Elder Crystal), and much more.

Anyway, enjoy my datapack. Visit my discord to inquire about the datapack, engage in discussions, report bugs, or play on my OSP testing server. I started this datapack many months ago and have been working on it for a while. I hope you enjoy it and create cool things with it.
