About this Mod
🍀 Sapling Origin 🌳
(IMPORTANT: There is a total of 3 required mods that are listed at the bottom!)
...born from the depths of a lush cave underneath a mysterious yet magical tree, lies this new origin. It looks human, but has traits that only plants have, such as poisonous leaves, ability to photosynthesize, and roots that burn in hot temperatures. Introducing, the Sapling Origin!
💥 Powers 💥
🌸 Poison Ivy: Anything that touches you get poisoned, as well as if you toggle with primary, you can poison others by hitting them. However, if you poison someone by hitting them, you will also get damaged slightly.
🌳 Grounded Roots: With the secondary button, you can summon a protective shield of leaves surrounding you as well as gain defensive effects to prevent you from death. However, it takes away 2 exp levels.
💚 Share Nutrients: If in a 4 block radius with another player or land animal, by using your ternary button, you can create a health regeneration field that heals anyone in it. However, using it takes away 1 exp level.
🍃 Leaf Phasing: You can phase through leaves and get an extra speed boost while you do it!
🔆 Autotroph: Your main source of food comes from the sun, as well as water (as potions/bottles). Also, being in rain gives you regenerative effects.
⚖️ Weaknesses ⛓️💥
🔥 Flammable: Due to your plant nature, you burn in hot biomes (during daytime) and you're more sensitive to fire damage. However, you can negate this by wearing full set of fire protection 2 or higher.
🍗 Stomachless: Since you're an autotroph, you cannot eat food.
🌙 Lack of Sun: Due to the need for Photosynthesis, you get weakness and hunger when in dark areas.
🛡️ Branch Arms: Your weird arms causes you to not be able to hold a shield properly.
📚 Other Features 📚
🏠 Home Biome
You always spawn in forests. (However, there is a bug where sometimes you spawn underground, but this isn't my fault, it's a problem with the origins mod).
💨 Spore Particles
You give-off spore blossom particles
💉 Immunity
You're immune to poison and are able to walk through berry bushes and touch cacti. You're also immune from harvesting honey and being stung by bees due to your connection with nature.
🪦 Remains
You have custom hurt & death sound FX and you leave an azalea bush upon death.
