4. Check your selection with /claimedorigins status.

You can also choose directly with /claimedorigins choose <power>, using one of these names:

Overview

Origins gives each player one of twelve powers that changes exploration, combat, movement, or survival. Your choice remains active after death and relogging.

In multiplayer, a power that another player has already claimed cannot be selected. The in-game guide shows the complete description of every power before you confirm your choice.

What It Adds

How To Use

Flight

Flight provides an Elytra and firework rockets.

• Double-tap the jump key to start an Elytra-style glide.
• Landing ends the glide and starts a 5-second glide cooldown.

Wither

Wither powers use your combat damage and crouch input.

• Every 10 damage dealt applies Wither I for 5 seconds.

• Ore drops are smelted automatically.
• Pickaxes used by the Goblin gain Unbreaking III.

Mage

Mage players receive an amethyst shard. Hold it in your hand to activate Mage abilities.

• Crouch to fire a laser up to 10 blocks.
• The laser stops at the first block or entity.
• A hit deals 4 hearts of armor-piercing damage.
• The laser has a 30-second cooldown.

• During the ascent, you gain air Speed I and are protected from fall damage until you land.
• The levitation ability has a 60-second cooldown.

Enderman

Enderman players receive an Ender Pearl.

• If you have no Ender Pearls, one is replenished every 10 seconds.
• Water damages you and triggers an Enderman-style escape teleport.
• Permanent Swiftness I improves your movement speed.

Zombie

• Zombies naturally ignore Zombie players.
• Hitting a living non-undead creature grants Regeneration I for 3 seconds.
• Punching a villager can zombify it.
• Sunlight burns you when you have no helmet equipped.
• Use a helmet when traveling in daylight.

• Creeper players are immune to explosions.
• Double-tap crouch to unleash an explosion centered on yourself.
• The explosion has a 60-second cooldown.
• Your explosion cannot harm you through normal explosion damage.
• Cats are hostile to you, and the mod prevents you from attacking them.

Skeleton players receive a bow and 16 arrows.

• Skeletons naturally ignore you.
• Another 16 arrows are supplied every minute.
• Bow hits grant Swiftness II for 3 seconds.
• Sunlight burns you when you have no helmet equipped.

Villager

Villager players begin with eight hearts, Hero of the Village VI, and two Villager Spawn Eggs.

• Right-click an unoccupied Iron Golem to ride it.
• Use your movement keys to control a ridden Iron Golem.
• When your health is critically low, an Iron Golem reinforcement can appear, with a 120-second interval between reinforcements.

Evoker

Evoker players begin with a Totem of Undying.

• A genuine Totem of Undying activation summons three temporary Vexes for 15 seconds.
• Two villager archers follow you and shoot nearby zombies and skeletons.
• Pillagers, other raider types, and Evokers are friendly toward you.
• Right-click an unoccupied Ravager to ride it.
• Use movement keys to control the Ravager. Empty-handed attacks while mounted use the Ravager's attack.

Warden

• Warden players have twenty hearts.
• Permanent Darkness I makes visibility extremely limited.
• Use close-range combat, sound awareness, and prepared lighting or navigation methods to compensate for the darkness.

Piglin

Piglin players are placed safely in a Crimson Forest or Warped Forest when the power is selected.

• Piglins, Piglin Brutes, and Hoglins are friendly.
• Opening chests and mining gold do not trigger the usual Piglin anger.
• Gold equipment is enchanted for you.
• Nearby piglins may follow you as allies.
• You have Slowness I in the Overworld and End.
• You have Swiftness I in the Nether.
• Zombified Piglins are not included among the friendly creatures and remain dangerous.

Crafting And Obtaining

Class Reroller

Craft a Class Reroller to reopen the power selection screen. Using it consumes the item, removes your current power, and lets you choose another available power.

Class-issued items are replaced when you reroll. They cannot be dropped normally and carry Curse of Vanishing.

For commands, the item ID is claimed-origins-nmvw3wsu:class_reroller:

/give @s claimed-origins-nmvw3wsu:class_reroller

Starting Items

The other powers rely on their abilities rather than a required starting item.

Claimed Origins Shield

The Claimed Origins Shield is available in the Creative combat inventory and works like a normal shield. Hold the use button to block with it.

You can also obtain it with:

/give @s claimed-origins-nmvw3wsu:claimed_origins_shield

Abilities And Mechanics

• Double-tap inputs: Flight uses jump; Wither and Creeper use crouch. Press the relevant key twice in quick succession.
• Held items: Mage abilities work while the Amethyst Shard is held. Class-specific items are restricted to their matching power.
• Cooldowns: Ability cooldowns are shown through action-bar messages when an ability activates.
• Health changes: Villager has eight hearts, while Warden has twenty. Other powers use the normal twenty-heart maximum unless their description states otherwise.
• Class relationships: Zombie players are ignored by Zombies, Skeleton players are ignored by Skeletons, and Piglin and Evoker players receive special friendly relationships with their associated mobs.
• Death and respawning: Your selected power remains yours after death. Evoker followers and temporary summons are managed again as you continue playing.

Progression And Strategy

• Choose Flight for exploration and vertical travel, Goblin for mining, or Mage for ranged utility and mobility.
• Enderman is effective for fast travel, but carry blocks or avoid water because water both hurts and teleports you.
• Zombie and Skeleton are useful when fighting their normally hostile counterparts, but always prepare helmets for daylight.
• Creeper is excellent for blast-based combat and terrain clearing; keep cats away from your base.
• Villager is strongest near settlements and benefits from Iron Golems, Hero of the Village, and critical-health reinforcements.
• Evoker excels with preparation: keep a Totem of Undying available and let the villager archers handle nearby undead.
• Piglin is suited to Nether progression. Gold equipment and friendly Nether mobs make Crimson and Warped Forest regions safer, while Overworld travel is slower.
• Warden offers the largest health pool but requires navigating with permanent Darkness.
• In multiplayer, coordinate before choosing a power because each role can only be claimed once.
