About this Mod
Adds a Megalodon Origin for the Origins Mod, and a reworked version of the Land Shark Origin from Origins ++. Fabric Only.
requires Origins and Pehkui.
I made this mod because a server I am playing on couldn't load datapacks for some reason, and try as I might I couldn't help them... so I instead packed my datapack as a mod!
