Become a squirrel origin with peculiar eating habits in your world.

This origin is a squirrel that doesn't eat all food, but can store some for later.

Its helpful powers are:

Climbing

You are able to climb any wall, not just ladders. [Toggleable with Origins primary key].

Cheek-Pouches

You have large cheeks to store more food when foraging. Any item that is not food is dropped on death. [Access With Secondary].

Acrobatics

You never take fall damage, no matter from which height you fall.

Strong Ankles

You are able to jump higher while sprinting.

Neutral features are:

Plains Spawn

As a squirrel you will always spawn in a plains biome.

Smol

You're a tiny squirrel, even smaller than a block.

Do you want the perfect size moped? Check out this other mod I made: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/mopeds

The less helpful features are:

Squirrel Diet

As a squirrel you can only eat walnuts and other squirrel food.

3 Hearts

As a creature of small size you only have 3 hearts, use them wisely!

Large Appetite

You exhaust much quicker than others, thus requiring you to eat more.

Unwieldy

The way your hands are formed provide no way of holding a shield upright.

Timid Nature

You deal less damage in combat. Squirrels aren't warriors...

 

 

This project is remixed from 2 other squirrel origins:

Feel free to change it to what you want.

For example changing the squirrel diet in the data\squirrel\tags\items\squirrel_diet.json file.
