How to make your own custom Origin | Origins Mod Tutorial #1

Hello this is the first video in my series of videos explaining how to make your own custom origin for the origins mode this video will show you how to make your own bass origin and give it a fair simple power now just for this tutorial i’ll be making a random idea i had

Um about being a blizborn the blizz bonds are an alternate form of the blaze added by the mod thermal expansion and i’m taking a bit of inspiration from that when i’m making my origin so first off when we’re making a data pack we need the place that we’re gonna make it in

We need a minecraft world okay so this tutorial is assuming that you already have fabric installed as well as fabric api and origins if you don’t install them and then come back okay so first off we need to open up the minecraft launcher we’ll have fabric loader hit play

I’m using a fresh install so this might take a while okey doke and now that minecraft is loaded just hop into a new single player world creative mode difficulty peaceful live cheats on and create new world okay now just pick uh whatever race i’ll just pick human for now

And make sure that you’re all loaded in so now we’re in game we don’t have any of the data packs set up yet so you want to go to resource packs click on open pack folder and this will open up your dot minecraft folder quickly so you want to go back to dot

Minecraft head over to saves the name of the world that you just made then data packs and you should have this empty folder here now what you want to do next is you want to go over to the discord server type in exclamation point template and grab the data pack template

Clicking on the link will take you up to here from candy cane kazoo’s data pack template from their tutorial and you want to download that it should download in your chrome i don’t mind downloaded in my other browser for some reason but you can right click on your downloads folder on the side

Open a new window and now you have the data pack template now what you want to do is right click extract all just call it that show extracted files when complete can be on or off it does not really matter click on extract close that and now you have a folder

Called datapack template and the datapacktemplate.zip you want to move the folder not the zip across to the data packs folder and call it right click rename and call it whatever your origin will be so mine will be blisborn origin just another side note you will need to

Have a text editor like notepad plus plus or sublime or atom or one of those i personally use notepad plus plus and i will have a link to that in the description if you need it then inside you’ll see data and pack.mcmatter you want to right click edit with notepad plus plus

And just throw whatever description you want in here add the blisborn origin exclamation mark now we can close pac.mcmeta head into the data folder we can delete this readme and we want to leave this origins folder alone for now and rename this pac name here folder to something that is related to your

Origin that is quite short and memorable so i’m just going to call mine blizz for blizborn then you go inside of here and you’ll see a powers folder and an origins folder first off we’re going to go into the origins folder delete this readme and then rename this file to the name of

The origin so blizborn and then we’re going to go back into the powers folder what we’re going to do in the powers folder is rename this file to blue skin and then open that in notepad plus plus as well so now what we can do is we can go over to the

Origins discord and look at the wiki by typing in exclamation point wiki throw that in a google chrome page and now we have the wiki open so the power that i want to make will turn the player a shade of light blue so let’s see if we can find the color power

Model color power type is what we’re looking for and here’s an example of its use okay so the first power type we’re going to be using in these tutorials is the model color power and i’m just going to explain real quick what that is accepts a red parameter between 0 and 1

A green parameter between 0 and 1 blue parameter between 0 and 1 and an alpha value between 0 and 1 and these values will be used to determine the color of the skin on a regular rgb color picker the values are normally between 0 and 255.

So to convert these from regular rgb to this system between 0 and 1 you just have to take the value that you want and divide it by 255 the a value is the transparency or the alpha channel the closer this is to one the more opaque your character will be the closer

It is to zero the more transparent your character will be so we can copy this right here this example this will give the player skin a slight bluish tint and make it slightly transparent and as you can see we have a value for red a value for green

And a value for alpha we can also add in a value for blue and change these all to one now i’ve added in the blue field but in order to make it valid i need to add in a comma here and this is valid json if you want to check the valid json

You can go onto the discord again and type in parser and then copy that link throw that into chrome copy your json from this file put it in here click on validate and it will show valid json that means that when you put this code in as a power it will work now

We want to head back over to the powers folder now that the power is done we want to do now is we want to go back into the origins folder we want to open up blizborn and in blizborn is where we will have all of the powers that it has

The icon that it displays whereabouts in the order it will appear its impact level which is between 0 and 3. the name of the race and its description so for powers we’ve already made our power it’s called blue underscore skin as seen there and what we want to do is

We want to put on the left side of this colon the pack name which for us it’s blizz and then on the second half you want to put blue skin with the underscore spell exactly how it is there no dot json just blizz blueskin or in your case it could be the name

That you put for the pack and then the name that you put for your power the icon i’m going to use a snow block the order i’ll leave as it is the impact i will have as a 2. the name will be lisbon and its description will be

The blaze born the blaze bonds holder cousin howdy’s bulk cousin there we go so now we have this which i didn’t change any of the values but just to be sure i’m going to throw it into the validator clear that paste it in press validate valid json again

So this is all good here now we’re going to head back here go back into the data folder and now is when we’re going to touch this origins folder which has an origins layers folder inside of that and then we want to edit the origin.json we don’t want to rename it

We just want to open it and in here we want to put the pack name sublis just like before and a colon and then we want to put the name of the file that we just made with the name and description so that would be blizbon

Now that that’s done we can head back into minecraft close that down get back into the world and we want to have an orb of origin but if we try and right click this now the race won’t appear anywhere and that’s because we still haven’t reloaded the data packs

We need to go and do slash data pack which is why you needed to have cheats enabled then go to list and you can see if you’ve done it right you will have one data pack available file blizborn origin now you go to datapack enable and then file blizbone origin if you do

Slash reload just to make sure you can right click on the orb and go around and you’ll see blizborn the blizborn’s older cousin with the impact of two like i said and it has power.blizz.blueskin.name and power.blues.blueskin i’ll sort that out in a second but if i select the race

You’ll see that my skin has the transparency okay so i’ve changed the values back over to 0.75 and 0.75 and now if i turn back into a human do slash reload again wait a couple seconds and then turn back into the blaze the blizborn now i have a very slight blue hint now

When you look at the blizborn you’ll see that the power that’s there has this free name and that for a description power.blaze.blueskin.name and power.blues.blueskin.description now you want to give this actual text so what you want to do is you want to open up your notepad plus plus and you want to

Add a comma onto the end of this line because you’re going to be adding more below it then adding a name cool on and then in in a quotation marks you want to put blue skin color at the end of the line since it’s not going to be the last line

And then description spelled correctly and then you want to put in just whatever description you want so i’ll put in your cold nature makes your skin blue and then swap back over to minecraft reload then you want to go over to blizborn and you’ll see now instead of the the text that was

There before we have blue skin and your cold nature makes your skin blue so that is the first basic power of the origin and the origins implementation itself now the powers that i’m thinking of adding in with this origin are the ability to levitate so it will levitate the player

Up for five seconds then it will give you slow falling for five seconds uh you will have a blizz ball which you can hold a snowball and launch it into a high-speed arrow that will give the target slowness that it hits you’ll also increase your speed when

You’re standing on snow or ice blocks blue skin as shown in today’s video and a heat allergy as the blisborne is a cold based mob it’s not used to heat and you will start to melt if you’re in a hot bio so if you’re looking for any of those

Types of powers or something similar make sure that you watch those tutorials or if you have an idea for another power that may fit the origin recommend it in the description or even if you just have a power that you want to have made so you can learn how to make it

Put that down in the comments as well because i might make some short tutorials that aren’t for this origin specifically that teach you how to make other powers that people want thank you for watching and see ya
