Origins Legacy Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I pick my origin when I start a new world?
When you create a new world and spawn for the first time, you'll see the origin selection screen. Browse through the available character classes, read their ability descriptions, and click to confirm your choice before spawning into the world.
Why aren't my custom origins showing up in the selection menu?
Custom origins from data packs need to be loaded correctly—make sure your data pack folder is in the right location and the pack is enabled in world settings. See "Loading Custom Origins from Data Packs" and "Troubleshooting Origins Not Appearing or Powers Not Working" for detailed steps.
Do my old custom origin files from the original mod still work?
Yes, that's the main feature of this mod—it keeps the old data formats so your existing custom classes load without changes. You may need to do basic vanilla data pack updates if your world uses newer Minecraft features, but the origin files themselves stay compatible.
How do I know what powers each origin has before I pick one?
The origin selection screen shows a description and list of unique abilities for each class before you spawn. Read through these carefully to understand what each origin can do, then refer to "Understanding Origin Abilities and Choosing the Right Class" if you need more details.
Can I use this mod with other mods that add custom classes or abilities?
This mod is generally compatible with other mods, but conflicts can happen if multiple mods try to control the same player abilities or data formats. Test your mod combination in a test world first, and check mod documentation if you experience issues.
Will using this mod slow down my game or cause lag?
Origins Legacy Mod uses the older, stable code base which is generally lightweight and reliable. Performance depends more on how many custom origins and data packs you load—start with a few and add more if your game runs smoothly.
What happens if I remove the mod after playing with an origin?
Your character will lose their origin abilities and powers, but your world and inventory will remain intact. If you reinstall the mod later, your origin will be restored.
How do I add new custom origins to my world?
Create or download a data pack with custom origin files, place it in your world's data pack folder, and enable it in world settings. Restart your world or use the reload command, then the new origins should appear in the selection menu—see "Loading Custom Origins from Data Packs" for full instructions.
