Elder Origins

🧬 Elder Origins is an early beta Fabric mod that adds Origins-style fantasy races. Each race comes with passive traits and a dedicated active ability, and player race data is synced server-side to keep multiplayer consistent.

✨ What you get • A race selection screen when you join without a race • An in-game Race Profile screen (open it with H) • A configurable ability keybind (set it in Controls) • Server-authoritative race syncing for multiplayer • Admin commands for managing races on servers • A custom starter item for Umbral: Shadow Sword

🌍Included races

• Human — simple, vanilla-like experience

• Elf — agile ranger with a movement-focused active ability

• Dwarf — sturdy defender with a protective stance ability

• Orc — aggressive brawler with a temporary combat surge

• Merfolk — water specialist with aquatic mobility and a water/rain-based ability

• Vampire — night hunter with survival-oriented traits and a mobility form

• Stormtouched — storm-powered fighter that shines during bad weather

• Umbral — shadow-themed scout with darkness bonuses and a stealthy active ability

• Verdant — nature-aligned sustain with a healing burst-style ability

• Giant — heavy bruiser with a ground-impact style ability and slower movement

🎮 How to play

1. Join a world or server and pick a race in the selection UI
2. Press H to open your Race Profile anytime
3. Set the “Use ability” keybind in Controls and use it in-game

🛠️ Server / Admin These commands require admin permissions:

• /elderorigins set <player> <race>

• /elderorigins reset <player>

• /elderorigins reload

🤝 Multiplayer notes For full functionality, install the mod on both the server and the client. If the server doesn’t support the mod, the client can’t sync race data correctly.
