Abilities: Origins in a Datapack

Abilities: An Origin-Like datapack

Ever wanted to play origins without the mod? Or on a bukkit-based server? This is abilities, a datapack that offers similar features as origins

NEWS: ABILITIES IS BACK! (now updated for 1.21!)

Warning: Things are changing for mc datapacking, and so is this datapack. Check the update logs if you are updating from an old abilities version!

How to get abilities

A chat message should pop up (see image), and you can click on whichever ability you want, or hover for more info. If not, use the command `/trigger showMenu` You can choose human by not choosing anything To stop normal players from choosing abilities, see the config Note: You cannot change your ability after you choose in some cases! See the for operators section

For operators

Special powers usage

To use special powers, hold a stick in your offhand and press shift (sneak). Only works if you are holding a stick and shifting at the same time. In older verions (<55) do shift+jump at the same time.

Extra stuff For abilities that burn in sunlight, you can wear a helmet to stop burning (or use fire res) You cannot use powers while in water Abilities with weakness needs 5 or more damage in one hit to be able to hit anything

For Paper Servers: In the config folder, open the world default config. Control F for `allow-non-player-entities-on-scoreboards` and set to true. Restart

Geyser & Bedrock Abilities does NOT support Bedrock (get Java lol), like any other datapacks. Abilities does NOT COMPLETELY WORK on Geyser, because Bedrock players cannot click in chat (bruh bedrock sucks). But, if a Java operator gave them an ability manually, it will work fine. Note that Java players can use Abilities fine even with Geyser enabled.

If the menu is not working Do `/function abilities:config` and toggle on and then toggle off operators choose ability. Then try again
