About this Mod

origins minus banner
Origins focused on simplicity, not balance.
Requires Origins. Replaces all base origins.
Also try Statures and TooManyOrigins(Minus)!

Temporary Notice: Origins Minus 1.21 is only compatible with Origins 1.13.0-alpha.9 due to issues in subsequent versions.

Origins Minus is a collection of simple origins designed to replace the built-in set. Each origin is designed to:

  • Be easy to understand and easy to remember
  • Add something unique to the game feel
  • Reduce the friction and difficulty of a specific aspect of the game
  • Invoke no drawbacks (1 dot) or have a small implicit drawback (2 dots)
  • Be opt-in fun, without punishing details you can forget
  • Invite different builds via traversal mechanics
  • Be ambiguously themed so you can add your own personality!

With this in mind, the new origins aren't at all balanced against vanilla (or eachother!) - they're just for fun.

Afterword

All mods are built on the work of many others.

Several origins are adapted with permission from Origins Plus by Dan's Other Clone - Hence the name!

Frequently Asked Questions

Origins Minus server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Origins Minus compatible with fabric and forge and quilt?

Origins Minus officially supports fabric, forge, quilt for Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.20.1, 1.19.4. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Origins Minus – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Origins Minus consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
