Neo Origins

A content release: a family of six hand-modelled Crystal Orbs, a new Orb of Class that re-rolls only your class, a general "reopen the picker for these layers" hook for pack authors, Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks casting from origin powers, and native elytra flight with visible, re-texturable wings — plus a wraith wall-phase fix and an action_on_event correctness pass.

Supports: Minecraft 26.1.x (Java 25) · Minecraft 26.2 (Java 25) · Minecraft 1.21.1 (Java 21)

• Crystal Orbs: six orb items with new 3D models. The reset orbs are now hand-modelled glass spheres with an animated swirling core, replacing the old flat sprite. orb_of_origin keeps its full-reset behaviour and its id — so existing recipes and pack references carry over unchanged, only the look is new — and four more colours (gold, pink, purple, teal) ship alongside it as inert items for datapack authors.

• Orb of Class: re-roll only your class. neoorigins:orb_of_class is a cheaper, class-only sibling of the Orb of Origin. Right-clicking it resets just the neoorigins:class layer and reopens the picker scoped to that one screen, leaving your main origin untouched. Its XP cost is a flat class_levels_per_use (default 2, versus the origin orb's 5), and it commits lazily: the levels and the orb itself are spent only when you actually confirm a new class, so closing the picker without picking is a free cancel that refunds the orb and restores your previous class. Crafted like the Orb of Origin, but with ingots instead of blocks.

• elytra_flight power. Grants elytra-style gliding without an equipped elytra — the same activation as natural_glide — and draws a cosmetic elytra on the player's back while you fly. render_elytra toggles the wings (flight works either way; set it false to glide with no visible wings), and texture_location swaps in a custom wing texture while keeping the vanilla elytra model. Origins/Apoli packs that use apoli:elytra_flight now map onto this natively, so their render_elytra and texture_location are honoured instead of dropped: imported gliders finally show their wings.

• Reopen the origin picker for any set of layers. The Orb of Class is one preset of a general mechanism, now exposed to packs two ways. The neoorigins:open_layer_picker entity action takes a layers list and reopens the picker scoped to exactly those layers, with an author-chosen commit_mode (deferred for a free-cancel re-pick, immediate to charge and clear up front), an XP cost, an optional message shown when the picker opens, and a consume_item flag that spends the triggering item — an inert orb, say — when the pick commits. So a pack can build its own "change my subclass" item or power for whatever layers it defines. The admin command /origin gui <player> <layers> does the same against one target player, taking one or more comma- or space-separated layers.

• Inert orbs and the #neoorigins:orbs tag for custom bindings. The four unused orb colours do nothing on their own and are never consumed by the mod, leaving them free to bind through action_on_item_use / action_on_event. All six orbs share the #neoorigins:orbs item tag, so a condition can match "any orb" in a single check.

• Cast Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks spells from origin powers. The new neoorigins:cast_iron_spell action fires a named Iron's Spells spell — from a keybind, on hit, or any trigger — with fields for the spell id, level, cooldown, and instant-versus-channel cast mode. Mana is your choice: by default the cast is free from Iron's mana pool and you charge the cost on the NeoOrigins power itself, or set consume_mana: true to draw from and gate on the player's Iron's mana instead (an under-funded cast is refused; creative bypasses). Iron's Spells is an optional soft dependency: NeoOrigins builds and runs whether or not it is installed, and the action simply no-ops with a logged warning when the mod is absent or the spell id is malformed.

• Wraith wall-phase no longer rubber-bands, sinks into the void, or slips through obsidian. Phasing through walls could spasm the screen, because the client predicted the phase from the ability's toggle state while the server gated it on the power's condition — so the two disagreed and fought over your position. The client now publishes the phase capability on the same condition the server checks, and re-syncs at once if that condition flips mid-phase. Separately, an idle phasing player's slow downward settle had nothing to arrest it under noclip and would sink through the world — and through obsidian floors; the settle is now zeroed when there is no vertical input and solid ground sits directly underfoot, so you rest on the block below instead.

• action_on_event honours its item_condition. The event action dropped the item_condition filter, so a power meant to react to a specific item fired on every matching event regardless of the item involved. The condition is respected again, and the action_on_item_use trigger correctly distinguishes the start and finish of a use.
