🧬 Race API — The Core of the OriginsX Race System

A powerful, extensible race and ability API for NeoForge: everything is data-driven via datapacks and fully expandable through code.

✨ Features

  • 59 Power Types: From flight and dashes to seismic waves, teleport strikes, and conditional buffs.

  • 50 Conditions: Deep conditional logic for abilities, including held items, moon phases, biomes, breath, hunger, XP, scoreboards, nearby entities, and composite logic (all_of / any_of / not).

  • Translated Condition Descriptions: (EN/RU/UK) — the interface displays clean, readable names instead of raw IDs.

  • Robust Core Mechanics: Built-in support for resource systems (Mana/Stamina), cooldowns, toggles, and weaknesses with heuristic balance weights.

📦 For Players — Datapack Driven

  • data/<namespace>/raceapi/races/*.json — Define your custom races.

  • data/<namespace>/raceapi/powers/*.json — Define reusable powers.

  • Live Reloading: Apply changes instantly in-game using /reload.

  • Validation: Use the /raceapi validate command to check your datapacks for errors and identify ability slot conflicts.

Full format documentation is available in the mod's repository.

🛠️ For Developers — Java API

  • One-Line Registration: Easily register races, powers, and conditions (AutoRace / AutoPower).

  • Custom Conditions: Create your own condition logic via Condition.register().

  • PowerPipeline: A powerful hook for modifying abilities on the fly (utilized by the Skill Tree add-on).

  • Events: Hook directly into RaceChangedEvent.

⚙️ Requirements

  • Minecraft: 26.2

  • NeoForge: 26.2.0.67+

  • LDLib2

🪙 Support the Development

I build this mod in my free time because I love giving players the freedom to create awesome things. If you want to help keep the updates rolling and toss a few "skill shards" my way in real life, I’d be thrilled!

Donations are entirely optional. The most important thing is that you enjoy the mod. But if you do want to tip, it is a massive motivation boost! 🛠️
