About
Neo Origins reimplements the Origins experience for NeoForge, letting players choose a character origin with distinctive abilities and drawbacks, alongside a separate class that adds another layer of traits. Its built-in origins range from familiar choices such as Merling, Avian, Elytrian, Enderian and Arachnid to more specialized options including Abyssal, Umbral, Necromancer, Gravity Mage and Sword Immortal; examples of their powers include underwater breathing, gliding, wall climbing, summoning, gravity wells and sword-based flight. The 20 built-in classes include combat roles such as Warrior, Archer and Berserker, as well as Explorer, Miner, Herbalist, Cook, Merchant and Paladin, with effects such as improved mining, crop growth, trade restocking, equipment bonuses and starting supplies. Origin abilities cover passive traits and active skills, including flight, status effects, damage changes, biome-specific effects, minion summons and toggled powers; players can also use a cooldown HUD and origin information screen to review their abilities. Players can progress through advancement-triggered origin upgrades, while servers can optionally assign origins at random when players join or die. Aquatic origins such as Merling, Abyssal, Kraken and Siren use a dry-out mechanic, with configuration for its drain rate and the damage caused by drying out. The mod also supports mob origins: datapacks can attach powers, spawn rules and drops to living mobs, with spawn conditions based on factors such as biome, structure, dimension, time, height and light. Origins and powers are defined in JSON and can be overridden with datapacks; existing Origins content packs can be loaded from the configured origin-packs folder, and changes can be applied with a server reload. Pack authors can build player and mob origins with a browser-based editor or an in-game mob-origin creator, and customize origin-screen themes and resource-bar styles. With Dragon Survival installed, three additional origins let players become cave, forest or sea dragons, using that mod for their dragon traits, growth and abilities.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 12 files in your config folder.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.3 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. All 3 are for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of all 3 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.
AI
AI was used for its text
The author declares AI text on Modrinth.
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.
We have not read its code history yet.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.Declares AI text. No AI features declared.
- Code historyThe public code on GitHub: who made each change, credit lines such as "Co-authored-by", and its files.Not read yet
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found40 changelogs read
- Its filesFiles that AI coding tools leave behind (like AGENTS.md), and the texts inside the files you download.Nothing found
- Images in its filesHidden data in the images of the files you download, where AI image tools write their name and settings.Nothing found40 images read
- Code of the modThe code and files of the mod, read without running it: addresses of AI services, AI libraries, AI model files and a place for your own AI key.No AI service, AI library or AI model file964 code files read
