MINECRAFT MODDING

Minecraft custom origins mod

This modding project was done at the start of 2024, it was at this time my friend group got obsessed with 'One Piece' the anime. At the same time i was very interested in the minecraft 'custom Origins' community. The Origins mod released in 2020, with it installed, all players can pick from one of a selection of different 'origins' these gave each player special abilities and drawbacks.

Using online tutorials for setup, Notepad++ for editing and the Origins documentation website, I designed 9 different 'Origins' one based for each person in the group to play together. Each custom origin was made with the ideas and limitations of 'One Piece's "devil fruits". Of the created origins there were, the 'Aim aim fruit', 'Famine famine fruit', 'Hephaestus fruit', 'Metal metal fruit', 'Money money fruit', 'Plasma plasma fruit', 'Prism prism fruit', 'Sleep sleep fruit', and the 'Space space fruit'

Each custom origin was designed to the specifications and request of their user.

With the addition of a custom mod created in MCreator (a basic minecraft modding application) custom items, effects, and icons were added into the mod, all created by me in MCreator's sprite editor, and in Blockbench (a cube based moddling software for minecraft mods) 

To add to the complexity i added the 'origin classes' mod, which allows for players to customise their experience more. The origin classes mod adds a secondary origin selector, with each option having lower complexity, and aiming to add more minor impacts on gameplay experience. For heavier relationship to the 'One Piece' anime i had the classes relate to 'haki' types; Observation and armament. In One Piece, haki acts as a boost in strength/durability or awareness for characters to use. Each player upon selecting their 'devil fruit' would then select which haki type they would want to play with.
