Origin Gang - Discontinued
Origin Gang - Discontinued is one of the most ambitious Origins add-ons ever assembled for Minecraft. Originally created for a private group of friends, this pack grew into a sprawling collection of races, powers, and classes that turns ordinary survival into a completely different experience. Whether you run an Origin-style SMP or just want chaotic fun with a few friends, this add-on delivers an absurd amount of variety in a single download.
Before diving in, note that the original author explicitly asks players to ignore Versions 4 and 5. Those builds are considered broken or unfinished, so stick with the earlier stable releases when you download Origin Gang - Discontinued for your world.
What Makes Origin Gang - Discontinued Stand Out
Most Origins add-ons add a handful of races. This one stacks multiple mods together, combining the base Origins Fabric mod with Extra Origins, Mob Origins, Mythlogy Origins, and a dedicated Classes add-on. The result is dozens of playable origins, each with unique buffs and drawbacks that force you to rethink how you survive.
Origins Fabric Mod: The Core Races
The foundation of the pack is the Origins Fabric mod, which introduces nine classic origins plus a Human baseline. Highlights include:
- Enderian - teleport with Ender Pearls and reach farther, but water burns you and pumpkins terrify you.
- Elytrian - born with Elytra wings and a periodic launch ability, at the cost of only wearing light armor.
- Arachnid - climb walls and trap foes in cobwebs, but you lose three hearts and can only eat meat.
- Merling - breathe, see, and mine freely underwater with boosted swim speed, yet you must surface eventually.
- Blazeborn - immune to fire, lava, poison, and hunger, but you spawn in the Nether and water hurts you.
- Shulk - gain nine extra inventory slots that survive death and natural protection, but shields are off-limits.
- Phantom - phase through blocks while invisible, though sunlight burns you and hunger drains fast.
- Avian - permanent slow falling and extra speed, but you need high-altitude sleep and a vegetarian diet.
- Feline - no fall damage, higher sprint jumps, and creepers flee from you, but mining stone is restricted.
Extra Origins, Mob Origins, and Mythlogy Origins
Beyond the core set, the pack layers in Floran, Inchling, and Piglin from Extra Origins, plus Slime, Strider, Guardian, Evoker, Wolf, Snow Golem, Witch, Bee, and Fox from Mob Origins. The Mythlogy Origins module pushes things even further with Basiliskion, Centauros, Chimerog, Cyclopian, Elvon, Faery, Fenren, Harpnian, Hydranian, Impling, Minoraurion, Ogrelin, Phoenixkin, Sirenos, and Werewian. Each one comes with detailed strengths and weaknesses, from poison auras to full-moon transformations.
If you prefer a one-click route, the foxygame.net launcher bundles Origin Gang - Discontinued directly into its add-on catalog, so you can enable it without manually chasing individual mod files.
Classes Add-On: A Second Layer of Customization
The bundled Classes add-on gives every player a profession-style role on top of their origin. Options include Archer, Beast Master, Blacksmith, Cleric, Cook, Explorer, Farmer, Lumberjack, Merchant, Miner, Nitwit, Rancher, Rogue, and Warrior. Each class grants passive perks, such as doubled potion duration for Clerics or extra planks for Lumberjacks. Combining a class with an origin creates surprisingly deep builds.
Supported Minecraft Versions and Loader
Origin Gang - Discontinued for Minecraft is built for the Fabric loader, which means you will need Fabric API and the base Origins mod installed alongside it. The pack targets older 1.16-era and early 1.17 builds, so check the file notes before installing. Because it is marked discontinued, no further updates are planned, and newer Minecraft versions are not officially supported.
How to Install Origin Gang - Discontinued
Getting the add-on running is straightforward if you follow the right order:
- Install the Fabric loader for your matching Minecraft version.
- Place Fabric API and the base Origins mod into your mods folder.
- Add Origin Gang - Discontinued and any required dependencies like Trinkets, Croptopia, or LambDynamicLight.
- Launch the game and pick your origin at the start of a new world.
If you are unsure which dependencies belong together, the foxygame.net launcher handles version compatibility automatically and keeps Origin Gang - Discontinued updated alongside its required libraries.
Final Thoughts
Origin Gang - Discontinued is a time capsule of creative Origins design. Its sheer scale, dozens of origins, layered classes, and quirky drawbacks, makes it worth trying even in its discontinued state. Just avoid Versions 4 and 5, pair it with the right Fabric build, and you will have more replay value than most modern add-ons offer.
