This data pack is designed for the Origins mod and requires Apugli. Unlike my other data packs, Pehkui is required for the Origin to function properly.

This Origin is the spiritual successor to my first Origin, the Sculkborn.

⁉️ Does the Origin Work on 1.20.1 ⁉️

I get asked this question a lot, so I’ll save myself some time and answer it here. I hope people actually read this before asking.

The Origin works perfectly fine on 1.20.1. Well, maybe not perfectly, but it works. A couple of smaller modifiers don’t load, that’s it. It’s ultimately insignificant and doesn’t mess with the data pack too much.

The modifiers that don’t load are listed below:

Sculk Spasm - The "random_teleport" function was not added until 1.20.2. As the function does not exist on 1.20.1, the power file errors out and is not loaded at all.
Ethereal Shackles - The modifier that prevents the player from placing blocks does not load as it does not exist on 1.20.1.

Description

Sculkspawn: Sculkspawn are a coincidental creation of the Sculk, formed when a fragment of blight shaped itself into consciousness by pure chance. A brain governed by sound instead of electricity, their thoughts are slow and erratic. Born from chaos, they are a strange anomaly; proof that even in disorder, something can take form, though imperfectly.

Impact: 🔴🔴🔴

🟩 Abyssal Shifter [Secondary / Sneak + Secondary]: As a creature of pure Sculk, you are not confined to a single shape. Focus to shift between three grotesque forms, each a manifestation of the Sculk’s twisted influence.

🟢 Abyssal Sight: The darkness of the Sculk is your realm, and your vision sharpens within it. In caves and night’s embrace, you see clearer than those who dwell in the light.

🟢 Flame Immunity: The searing flames and the churning depths of molten earth cannot harm your being; you are untouchable by fire or lava's rage, for creatures of the Sculk are immune.

🟢 Hungerless: The need for sustenance is foreign to you; you thrive without consuming, a being of Sculk needs no food.

🟢 Scourge of the Flesh: The creatures you dispatch may leak a taint, a sliver of Sculk, that seeps into the world, spreading the corruption of the deep.

🟢 Wardens’ Adoptee: The Wardens, ancient and watchful, do not see you as a threat. Instead, they regard you with affection, finding you strangely endearing.

🟡 Abyssal Sink: Water is not your element; you do not drown, yet you sink within it, weighed down by the unseen hand of the Sculk’s unnatural nature.

🟡 Cradle of Ruin: You are born in the desolate remnants of an ancient city, where the echoes of the past and the whispered tendrils of Sculk-infused power linger.

🟡 Echoes Unanswered: The sculk sensors, ancient sentinels of sound and movement, remain undisturbed by your steps.

🟡 Whispering Sliver: Your form is smaller than that of a typical being, a mere sliver of the vast Sculk, barely noticeable in comparison.

🔴 Echo Feedback: The relentless use of your sonic powers risks backlash. Consecutive bursts may harm you, the chaotic energy feeding back into your fragile mind.

🔴 Sculk-Bound: Cursed by the depths of the Warden's realm, you suffer heightened torment from the bite of hoes and implements laced with the sinister power of Silk Touch.

🔴 Sculk Spasm: Pain may cause your form to waver, triggering unpredictable displacement as the Sculk struggles to maintain cohesion under attack.

🔴 Sculk’s Nature: The Sculk cannot naturally grow on its own, it is reliant on the souls of dying creatures; as a result of this natural behavior, you do not naturally regenerate health.

🔴 Strange Heights: The concept of flight feels alien to you. The thought of soaring with the wings of an elytra takes you uncomfortably far from the earth, far from the embrace of the Sculk.

🔴 Thought Disruption: The cacophony of thunder and violent explosions disorients your mind, rendering you vulnerable in their wake, as your Sculk mind’s delicate balance is shattered by sound.

Hominid

🟩 Rupture Cry [Primary]: By sacrificing fragments of your experience, you release a muted sonic shockwave, a diminished echo of the Warden's devastating roar.

🟩 Tide of Sound [Sneak + Primary]: Focus your power into a circular wave of sonic energy, emanating from your core. This distorted pulse spreads outward, shaking the silence of the deep and tearing into your foes.

🟢 Burrowed Instincts: In biomes dominated by Sculk, your claws and tools carve through stone and earth with unnatural ease, attuned to the terrain's embrace.

🟢 Feast of the Fallen: The death of your prey nourishes you; slay a creature to siphon vitality, regaining fragments of your strength.

🟢 Nest of the Abyss: When rooted in sculk-infused terrain, your connection strengthens. You move with unnatural swiftness and gain four additional hearts as the Sculk embraces you.

🟢 Pulse of Predation: With each creature you dispatch, your form surges with borrowed strength, temporarily bolstering your health as the Sculk revels in its spread.

🟢 Shrieker's Favor: Touching a Sculk Shrieker imbues you with its wrath, granting a surge of strength for 30 seconds, a fleeting blessing from the deep.

🔴 Fragile Wretch: Your small, fragile form leaves you vulnerable, with only eight base hearts to withstand the trials of the abyss while in this form. A wretched thing, barely clinging to life amidst the overwhelming darkness.

Amorphous

🟩 Sonar Pulse [Primary]: Emit a resonating wave of sound that ripples through the air, revealing the shapes of nearby entities. For a fleeting moment, they are marked by a faint, ghostly glow.

🟩 Veins of the Deep [Sneak + Primary]: Channel your inner reserves of experience to infest the ground beneath you with creeping tendrils of Sculk, twisting the very fabric of the land into an extension of Sculk.

🟢 Blightbound Renewal: In the presence of dense Sculk clusters, the whispers of the abyss seep into your form, knitting your wounds with the deep, unearthly energies of the blight.

🟢 Murmuring Shade: While you linger motionless amid the Sculk's creeping sprawl, your presence fades from the notice of hostile creatures. As long as their ire has not been provoked, you remain as a shadow among the blight.

🟢 Sculkmeld: Meld seamlessly into the Sculk, swimming through its dark, shifting mass as though it were water. However, your transformations are stilled within this realm; the Sculk’s embrace binds you to a single form until you resurface.

🟢 Squishing Sculk: Your body, soft and yielding like the Sculk itself, absorbs the shock of even the greatest falls. Gravity's bite holds no sway over you.

🔴 Abyssal Blindness: In this writhing, grotesque form, your vision falters. The world becomes a fragmented haze.

🔴 Ethereal Shackles: Your incorporeal nature severs your connection to the tangible realm. You are unable to mine, construct, or directly strike others.

🔴 Fragile Vessel: Your body, though strange and resilient in its own ways, is frail compared to others. You endure with only six hearts while in this form, a fragile existence tethered to the Sculk's tenuous lifeline.

🔴 Irregular Frame: Your form resists the constraints of armor, rejecting its protection. The Sculk's shifting silhouette renders such trappings ineffective, leaving you vulnerable to the harshness of the world.

Miasma

🟩 Phantom Resonance [Primary]: Surge forward in a blur of vibrational energy, phasing through mobs as though they were but echoes in the deep.

🟩 Choking Miasma [Sneak + Primary]: Unleash a cloud of noxious decay, a corrosive mist born from your essence. It saps the vitality of those nearby and nourishes allied Sculk entities, but the act weakens you, leaving fragments of your vitality diminished.

🟢 Dread Mantle: A palpable aura of menace slows the movements of those who dare approach, their steps faltering under the weight of your presence.

🟢 Luminous Corruption: Your form pulses with an eerie, bioluminescent glow, casting a cold and unsettling light into the darkness.

🟢 Shroud of Silence: The unseen tendrils of your essence cloak you from hostile eyes. Those who are not provoked cannot perceive your passage.

🟡 Void Drift: The boundaries of the physical mean little to you. Glide effortlessly through the air, suspended by the Sculk’s unearthly influence.

🔴 Abyssal Blindness: In this writhing, grotesque form, your vision falters. The world becomes a fragmented haze.

🔴 Ethereal Shackles: Your incorporeal nature severs your connection to the tangible realm. You are unable to mine, construct, or directly strike others.

🔴 Fragile Wind: The tenuous hold on your existence limits you to only four base hearts while in this form, a frail echo of more corporeal beings.

🔴 Rainfall Disintegration: The gentle touch of rain is agony to your unstable form, dragging parts of you earthward and leaving you diminished with every drop.
