Yet Another Slugcat Origin

Alright, gather round, scugs, pups, and scavs. Let's Rain those Worlds... or, something like that. You wanna play as a tiny little creature in a big world? Predator, yet prey? And, most of all, you wish to fear the rain, but this time in Minecraft? Go right ahead.

Yet Another Slugcat Origin...s

This origin pack contains... eight, yet one origin. To select your experience, you must first select the Slugcat origin, then choose your sub-origin. These origins are each balanced differently, but all share the following traits.

Common Traits

• Slugcats move faster, jump faster, fall faster, and all can hold shift to charge up a pounce-jump. (This does not eliminate fall damage.)
• Slugcats are predators- they can use sticks as weapons, throwing them with plenty of force, and pinning enemies in place for a short while.
• Slugcats are prey- they do not feel safe enough to rest without a roof over their head, and must have a full enough belly to hibernate.
• Slugcats are small- they are at most just over a block and a quarter tall, letting them wriggle into small spaces, but not letting them run in small tunnels.
• Slugcats are fragile- they only have around 6 hearts.
• Slugcats are hungry- their active metabolism means they always want to eat something, even if they're not doing anything in particular.
• Slugcats are crafty- despite their small size, they can almost always find a handhold, letting them scramble up a few blocks.
• Slugcats fear the crushing rain. Getting caught in the rain is a death sentence- if you cannot find shelter in time, you may find yourself suffocating. Fortunately, you'll receive a warning that it's about to rain, letting you dash to shelter... hopefully.
• Slugcats cannot deal with the cold that well, and will eventually freeze.

Additionally, (almost) every variant has some additional traits to aid in their own survival.

The Survivor

...I immediately prove myself wrong. The Survivor is the "standard" play mode, with no extra bells or whistles.

The Monk

• [+] The Monk takes less damage than any other slugcat.
• [+] The Monk does not require being full to hibernate.
• [+] The Monk is slightly stealthier than other slugcats.
• [-] The Monk is a vegetarian.
• [-] The Monk deals less damage with its spears than any other slugcat.

The Hunter

• [+] The Hunter deals more damage with its spears than the Survivor and Monk.
• [-] The Hunter is a carnivore.

(Before you ask, yes, I do plan to revisit this and add a little more to this particular variant...)

The Gourmand

• [+] The Gourmand deals far more damage with its spears than any other slugcat.
• [+] While it has enough food in its stomach, the Gourmand can be very strong indeed.
• [+] The Gourmand can spit up items at the cost of some of its stomach contents.
• [+] The Gourmand can use its weight to deal damage in an area around itself when jumping from a higher elevation, eliminating fall damage.
• [-] The Gourmand is very, very hungry, and needs even more food in its stomach to sleep comfortably.
• [-] If it's too hungry, the Gourmand is very tired; and very slow as a result.

The Artificer

• [+] The Artificer is immune to explosives, and Creepers ignore her.
• [+] The Artificer can blast herself forward and up while in the air.
• [+] The Artificer can craft TNT for cheap.
• [+] The Artificer's spears blow up after a short delay.
• [+] The Artificer deals more damage with unarmed strikes.
• [+] The Artificer is slightly resistant to the cold.
• [=] The Artificer can blow herself up on command. This can destroy items.
• [-] The Artificer cannot hold her breath very well.
• [-] Villagers dislike her, and iron constructs automatically attack her.
• [-] The Artificer explodes upon dying, potentially destroying your dropped items.

The Rivulet

• [+] The Rivulet is much faster than even the other slugcats.
• [+] The Rivulet can hold its breath twice as long as normal players (accounts for Respiration!)
• [+] The Rivulet can jump quite high! (Toggleable.)
• [-] Any Rivulets on the world will cause there to be rain far more often than normal. Additionally, any player on the world can craft a certain item to enhance these abilities- for the Rivulet, or themselves.

The Spearmaster

• [+] The Spearmaster can generate spears from its tail. It can use these so-called needles to feed.
• [+] The Spearmaster is slightly slimmer and stealthier than other slugcats.
• [-] Unfortunately, it lacks a mouth to eat with- or drink with. The Spearmaster cannot consume normal foods, eat cake, drink potions, or drink milk.
• [-] Needles will decay over time, preventing you from using them to feed.

The Saint

• [+] The Saint has a long tongue that it can use to grapple onto blocks.
• [+] The Saint is far more resistant to the cold than its brethren.
• [+] There's something more to this variant... Explore the world and meet the rippling Echos of the past.
• [-] The Saint is even more fragile than other slugcats, having only five hearts.
• [-] A pacifist at heart, you deal a full heart less damage, and cannot throw spears at all.

The Attuned

• You know exactly what this can do. :)
