How do I install Better Origins?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on CurseForge — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

What Minecraft version does Better Origins work with?

The listing gives Minecraft 1.18.2, 1.16.5. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

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.

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.

This pack is all based around the origins mod and was made to expand it's features. The origins mod gives the player a choice of what abilities they would like. Each role comes with it's advantages and disadvantages: the phantom can walk through walls, the shulk has extra inventory slots that are saved on death, etc. All included origins can be seen on the images tab. The other mods included add more origins to choose from, special items to assist certain roles, and enchantments to improve gameplay.
