NeoOrigins

NeoOrigins v2.2.8

A systems and compatibility release: a native aura power, entity filtering for area effects, four more native powers (invisibility, item gating, flight-speed scaling, sound muffling), a batch of Apoli/Origins compat fixes, author-controlled origin-picker order, evolution-tier fixes, and phasing/respawn/health polish.

Supports: Minecraft 26.1.x (Java 25) · Minecraft 26.2 (Java 25) · Minecraft 1.21.1 (Java 21)

• effect_over_time aura power. A native sustained area-of-effect power that runs an action on a fixed interval for as long as it is active. Set activation to passive for an always-on aura or to an active toggle for an upkeep-style aura, and mark it toggleable so players can switch it on and off. Pair it with area_of_effect to wrap nearby entities in regeneration, particles, or any action you like — the basis for healing auras, damage fields, and persistent buffs.

• Entity filtering on area_of_effect. Area effects now accept an entity_condition that filters every entity in the radius — mobs and players alike — so an aura can target only players, only hostiles, only a tagged entity type, and so on. This makes auras like a heal-allies-but-ignore-mobs field possible without touching the action itself.

• invisibility power. A native invisibility power with an optional render_armor flag to hide worn armor along with the body, instead of routing through the status-effect compat layer.

• restrict_items power. A modular item-gate that can block equipping, using, or totem-popping items, driven by either a deny-list or an allow-list — for origins that can't wield certain gear.

• modify_flight_speed power. Scales a flying player's speed by a multiplier, a native replacement for the Pehkui-based approach.

• muffle_sound power. A native power that dampens sound for the holder.

• distance_from_coordinates condition. Tests the player's distance from a reference point — world origin or world spawn, plus an optional per-axis offset — under a cube (Chebyshev), star (Manhattan), or sphere (Euclidean) metric, with optional per-axis exclusion and an off-dimension fallback. An Apoli-compatible condition for proximity-gated powers.

• origins:phasing is now server-authoritative, with its in_block gate honoring block tags and inverted conditions correctly.

• origins:nbt partial-NBT matching implemented — the condition now parses SNBT and matches against an entity's Tags, instead of being ignored.

• Fixed Apoli multiple sub-power desync where synthetic sub-power IDs containing a slash drifted out of sync with the client; slashes are now normalized to underscores on both sides.

• AvP (Aliens vs Predator) soft-dependency compat — a new xeno_passive host gate, plus registration fixes for xeno_passive and creative_flight so both load reliably.

• /scale shim for Pehkui-dependent packs. When Pehkui is not installed, a stand-in /scale command is registered so Origins/Apoli packs that call it (for example the seer astral origin's init functions) still parse and run the rest of their commands instead of silently failing to load.

• Author-set picker order is honored. The origin picker can now sort by the order field an author assigns, so packs control exactly where each origin appears in the list.

• /origin is a real command alias. It is now registered as a proper command literal rather than a loose alias, so it tab-completes and parses like the full command.

• Boosted max health is restored to full on respawn. Origins that raise max HP no longer leave the player short after dying.

• Newly granted hearts fill immediately. When a +HP origin is granted, the new hearts are filled rather than left empty.

• In-game power editor shows name and description fields again. Both fields were missing from the editor and are now back.

• Phasing no longer ghost-blocks or grants spam-jump flight. Wraith-phase / astral projection now drives vertical movement with velocity nudges (jump up, sneak down, neither settles slowly) instead of arming creative flight, and keeps the server and client agreeing on position — so block placement raytraces correctly and players can no longer rise freely by spamming jump.

• Evolution tiers no longer double-stack lower-tier buffs. Advancing a tier now removes the previous overlay (night vision, slow fall) before granting the upgraded one, so effects like night vision are no longer applied twice at tier 2+.

• Evolution tier force-set applies powers properly. Setting an evolution tier from a command now grants/revokes tier powers and reconciles max health the same way the accept-prompt path does, instead of only changing the tier field until the next relog.

• Evolution panel shows tier-power names and descriptions. The origin picker's evolution section now resolves each tier power's name and description, collapsing a multiple power's synthetic sub-powers into a single authored row instead of showing blank entries.

• Community resource-bar GUI textures contributed by huang and spiderkolo are now bundled.
