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 Singleplayer world: To use the commands listed in this section, cheats must be enabled To clear your ability, do `/function abilities:reset` To clear someone else's ability, do `/execute as <username> run function abilities:reset` After running the reset function, the selection menu will reappear ### Config For operators only.
