Orb of Origin

Item

An item that can change the origin(s) of the player upon "use" (right-click).

By default, the Orb of Origins item doesn't have a crafting recipe and lets you pick an origin for every origin layer that's available. You can change either of these things by creating a recipe (JSON file) for the item, and giving the item a custom NBT respectively.

Item ID: origins:orb_of_origin

Origin (and origin layer) specific Orb

Origins adds an origins:origin item component, which makes it possible for items to open the origin selection GUI and enable the player to choose an origin when the said item is used. The Orb of Origin item has this item component defined by default.

Here are some examples of how it can be used:

  • give @s minecraft:stick[origins:origin = []]
    This example will define an origins:origin component to a Stick item that enables the player to select from all the available and enabled origin layers when the item is used. 

  • give @s origins:orb_of_origin[origins:origin = [{layer: "origins:origin"}, {layer: "example:hello_world"}]]
    This example will define an origins:origin component to an Orb of Origins item that enables the player to only select an origin from the defined origin layers (origins:origin and example:hello_world) when the item is used. 

  • give @s minecraft:egg[origins:origin = [{layer: "origins:origin", origin: "origins:arachnid"}]]
    This example will define an origins:origin component to an Egg item that will automatically set the origin of the player in the origins:origin origin layer to origins:arachnid origin.
