Description
Temporary Notice: Origins Minus 1.21 is only compatible with Origins 1.13.0-alpha.9 due to issues in subsequent versions.
Origins Minus is a collection of simple origins designed to replace the built-in set. Each origin is designed to:
- Be easy to understand and easy to remember
- Add something unique to the game feel
- Reduce the friction and difficulty of a specific aspect of the game
- Invoke no drawbacks (1 dot) or have a small implicit drawback (2 dots)
- Be opt-in fun, without punishing details you can forget
- Invite different builds via traversal mechanics
- Be ambiguously themed so you can add your own personality!
With this in mind, the new origins aren't at all balanced against vanilla (or eachother!) - they're just for fun.
Origins

Versions
Datapack versions can be directly downloaded from each branch: 1.19 - 1.20 - 1.21
Note that using this pack with Origins Forge or unmarked versions may result in non-functional powers.
Afterword
All mods are built on the work of many others.
Several origins are adapted with permission from Origins Plus by Dan's Other Clone - Hence the name!
This mod is included in Tinkerer's Quilt - our modpack about ease of play and self-expression.
We're open to better ways to implement our mods. If you see something odd and have an idea, let us know!
