How to Pick and Assign Your First Origin

When you first join a world with the mod, you are prompted to choose an origin before you can play normally. This choice defines your abilities, drawbacks, and appearance.

Getting the Orb of Origin

If you skipped the prompt or want to re-roll, craft or obtain an Orb of Origin. Holding it and using it opens the origin selection screen. On servers, the orb may be given by an admin or found in a starter kit.

Choosing an Origin

1. Use the Orb of Origin to open the selection menu.

2. Browse the list of origins. Each entry shows a short description of its powers and its downsides.

3. Click an origin to preview it, then confirm to lock it in.

4. Your origin is now active — check your keybinds for any primary or secondary ability keys the origin uses.

What to Expect

Origins are not purely cosmetic. Some grant flight, water breathing, or extra health; others impose weaknesses like reduced health, inability to eat certain foods, or burning in sunlight. Read the drawback text carefully before confirming, because switching later usually requires another Orb of Origin or an admin command.

If you are unsure, pick a simple origin first and experiment in a test world before committing on a survival server.
