Origins: Skins

Give your Origins a whole new appearance!

Origins: Skins is a Fabric addon for the Origins mod that allows datapack creators to assign custom player skins to their origins. Using a new power type, players can automatically change their appearance depending on which origin they have, without manually changing their Minecraft skin. Skins are also loaded directly from the datapacks using a new skins folder within the namespace. No resourcepacks are needed.

Features

• This addon adds a new origin_skins:skin power type for datapack creators.
• Supports PNG skin files stored directly inside Origins datapacks via a new skins folder.
• Skins automatically change when players gain or lose the corresponding power.
• There's also a new JSON field called "priority", which determines which skin takes precedence when multiple skin powers are active, the larger number taking the highest precedence.
• This addon also supports Apoli's standard condition field.
• Since this addon only overlays the skin on the player, the player's normal Minecraft skin is returned when no custom skin power is active.
• This addon synchronizes custom skins between the server and connected clients.

How to Use

To assign a custom skin to an origin, create a power JSON using the origin_skins:skin power type.

Example Power

{
  "type": "origin_skins:skin",
  "skin": "example:skins/character.png",
  "priority": 10
}

Where to Put Your Skin

To load your skins in game, you must create a new skins folder under your namespace folder, and then place your PNG inside the skins folder.

For example:

MyDatapack/
├── pack.mcmeta
└── data/
    └── example/
        ├── origins/
        │   └── example_origin.json
        ├── powers/
        │   └── custom_skin.json
        └── skins/
            └── character.png

The power's "skin" field references the PNG using:

example:skins/character.png

You can then add the power to your origin's powers list just like any other Origins power.
