Description
Arden's DnD 5e Races is an addon for the Origins (Fabric) mod. You can be a dragonborn, dwarf, elf, gnome, halfling, half-elf, half-orc, human, or tiefling! Plenty of options for subclasses, versatilities, and feats as well. Play with your friends or embark on a solo campaign. The variety of origins will give you a truly unique experience.
Check out the gallery to see a few examples of races and abilities!
DnD Origins is technically a datapack that has been packaged into a mod to make it easier to install. It was built for Minecraft 1.21.1 using the Origins 1.13-alpha versions. It is still in the very early stages. I plan to add more content and change current content as I receive feedback. I also hope to add custom sprites and other icons.
NOTE: There are two versions you can download. One of them replaces any other origins and the other does not. Look for the "-NoReplace" in the file name for the version that keeps other origins.
Required Dependencies:
- Origins (Fabric)
- Spell Engine / Spell Power Attributes
- Pufferfish Attributes
- Ranged Weapon API
- Dependencies of the above mods
Optional Dependencies (not necessary for functional gameplay, but some powers and abilities will not work properly):
- Pehkui
- Dynamic Lights
- Combat Roll
- Kev's Library
- Archers (RPG Series)
- Wizards (RPG Series)
- Paladins & Priests (RPG Series)
- Rogues & Warriors (RPG Series)
- RPGMana (Mana for Spell Engine)
Nice to Have (no impact with or without, but I enjoy them):
- Alternate Origin GUI
- Kev's Attributes Panel
- Better Combat
- Other RPG Series Mods!
I just want to say thank you to all the creators and developers of the dependency mods. I am not a modder, and have no clue how to create a mod from scratch, so I am super thankful to be able to use resources with pre-made attributes and other mechanics that let me combine them together in order to create my visions. Before I started on this project, I barely knew how to handle Minecraft datapacks, but now I've made several (or at least started on).
An even bigger shout out to deadelus_dev, the creator of the RPG series. That mod suite is what sparked my idea to create a DnD-inspired origins mod. I am working on a whole rpg themed modpack centered around the RPG Series and my DnD Origins.
