OriginsTweaks Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I pick which origin to play as?
When you create a new world or join a server with OriginsTweaks, you'll be prompted to select your origin before spawning. You can only have one origin per character, so choose carefully based on playstyle—Avian for farming and mobility, Arachnid for climbing and combat, etc.
Can I change my origin after I've already started playing?
This depends on your server or world settings—some servers allow origin changes via commands, while others lock you into your choice permanently. Check with your server admin or look for origin-changing items in your world.
Why can't my Phantom use gold tools or armor?
Phantoms have a weakness to gold as part of their balance—gold items will damage you and prevent you from equipping them. Stick to other materials like wood, stone, iron, or diamond instead.
How do I keep my Merling from drying out?
Your moisture bar drains when you're away from water, so you need to return to water regularly to refill it. Being in rain or near water sources helps, and Conduit Power extends how long you can stay dry.
What's the fastest way to sharpen Feline claws?
You must sharpen claws in a specific order: logs or wool first, then smooth or polished stone, then iron blocks, then diamond blocks. You can't skip steps or use them out of order.
Does heavy armor actually make a difference for Elytrians?
Yes—wearing heavy armor like full diamond or netherite costs significantly more stamina when flying, so lighter armor setups let you stay airborne longer.
Can other players ride on an Elytrian's back in multiplayer?
Yes, other players can ride on your back while you're flying, but this increases your stamina drain. Make sure you have enough stamina before taking passengers.
How do I use Shulker floating ability without getting stuck?
Activate the float ability when you have clear space above you—it launches you upward and uses stamina. The ability works best in open areas; in tight spaces you may get stuck in blocks.
Do Enderian projectile dodges work against all arrows and projectiles?
Enderian automatic dodging works against most incoming projectiles like arrows, but the exact mechanics depend on the projectile type and your positioning.
Can Avians tame all animals without items, or just some?
Avians can instantly tame certain animals without needing the usual items (like bones for wolves or seeds for chickens), but not every animal in the game—check which ones work in your version.
