About this Mod
Originally this datapack was made for my modpack - Together we map the World, go check it out! It has even MORE features available than mod has in this version. What exactly you may ask? Improved farlander origin, dragon manual, dragon griefing prevention and more!
Any screenshots here were also made using this modpack
"May I use this mod in my modpack?" the answer is - yes sure you can! Just credit me somewhere
Berk Origins - is a datapack for origins, packed as mod, made to work with mods like isle of berk, archipelago additions, iob variant loader and Stego's dragons
Dependencies:

- Isle of berk variant loader

Link to the config that has to be installed alongside apathy mod. Put it into config folder. Otherwise Dragonguard buff won't work
It adds 5 different origins, a role to pick up, with unique abilities.
List of origins and their abilities:

You can see what trait your dragon got by using amethyst shard on it
Hunger is restored with cod, salmon and tropical fish. If it reaches 0, don't worry, your dragon won't get harmed but it's mood level will start decrease
Mood can be restored with dragon nip, if it's more than 75% dragon will become happy and will fly with higher speed. If mood is lower than 25%, it will fly slower. Mood can be indicated with particles around dragon's head. Black ash means dragon is sad, it's mood is less than 25%. Green particles means that dragon's mood level is greater than 50%. If you see golden particles - the dragon is happy
You are able to drop animals off your dragon's back if it carries them by using G key (origins primary active key, configurable)

Tidal class dragons now swim underwater as if they were flying in air
Makes flightmares and fireworms glow!
Some dragons are paintable! (Huge thanks to doomie5987 on discord who allowed me to use their racing stripes textures for dragons!)
To apply paint on dragon's skin use any vanilla minecrafy dye (except for grey and light grey. You can't paint night fury in black dye)
To wash it off, use wet sponge
List of dyeable dragons:
- Night Fury
- Monstrous Nightmare
- Storming Nightmare
- Singe Stryke

- Deadly Nadder
- Scuttleclaw
- Deathly Galeslash

Will there be more paintable dragons added in future? Sure, we just need more time to make all the textures!
