Origins: Legacy

This is an unofficial forward port of the original Origins mod, based from the official MC 1.20.1 build, for supporting newer versions of Minecraft while also attempting to offer backwards compatibility for Origins datapacks created for 1.20.1 and prior.

The reason why this fork had to occur was because:

The newer builds of Origins were horribly buggy at the time of writing, having experienced heavy refactors to the codebase that also end up breaking the Origins datapacks that came prior, often requiring extensive changes to properly support the new versions.
Origins is being very slow to update to newer versions of Minecraft. I just found it easier to work on it here myself, and also be able to update all the old 1.20.1 Origins datapacks and mods and make them all work here myself. Genuinely made things significantly easier than having to deal with the updated codebase.

If you need help with creating data packs for the mod, you can visit the official Origins wiki. The official wiki is still sufficient for making datapacks, as long as you are under the 1.10.0 branch, which is what this fork is based on.

If you want to report a bug, please visit the issue tracker. Make sure to check other existing issues first, and post detailed information about which mods and which version you are using, what you would expect to happen, and what happens instead. Also always include the log of your client and the server if possible.

Does this support custom origins made for Origins 1.21.1?

Not really, since the codebases, feature sets and even the main data formats have changed quite significantly in the new codebase. On the other hand, Origins: Legacy tries to retain compatibility with the 1.20.1 origins datapacks as best as possible, usually only requiring changes at the regular Minecraft datapack level, which is usually much better documented. The power JSON files in the current codebase still remain entirely untouched.

Any additional features?

There are a few custom features added into this fork, all documented in the README of the GitHub. Feel free to suggest any new features on the issue tracker too, I'm open to ideas. If you need it for a specific version as long as it's in 1.21.1 and later, I can implement it there.

Why should I use this over the official Origins mod?

Nothing's stopping you from using the official version, really. I'm only personally supporting this fork for me and my friends due to our own bad experiences with the current alpha releases of Origins. The only reasons you would have for using this fork is if you don't want to deal with waiting for the official Origins mod to update.
