Description
Catalysts is an Origins-inspired mod that introduces unique Catalysts-playstyles with their own abilities, mechanics, and progression.

Current features:
- Choose your Catalyst when joining the world.
- Every Catalyst has its own active abilities and mechanics.
- Custom HUDs and quality-of-life visuals.
- Built as a framework for adding many more Catalysts over time.
