poppy’s origin design tip, AKA a post that nobody who reads it will get any value from because I highly doubt anyone who sees this is making origins for the minecraft origins mod:

Night vision power LITERALLY allows you to give it different strength levels. USE THAT. It’s crazy how almost every night vision origin has freaking full-bright on. This isn’t me saying “don’t give them full brightness that’s too op!” it’s actually the opposite. Having complete vision in the dark can be quite DETRIMENTAL. I have an origin I made that has full power night vision, because it’s a zombie and I wanted to replicate the stupidity zombies have of walking straight into daylight like they don’t even see it. I knew that with full brightness it’s hard to tell how lit up an area is, and I wanted that as a downside! I used the night vision as a double edged sword; yes you can see perfectly in the dark BUT you’ll have trouble differentiating between light and dark.

And the thing is, night vision as a power doesn’t have to be a double edged sword. Literally in the base mod the Feline origin has a perfect balance of night vision to where you can see in the dark just fine AND you can still tell what spots are darker/brighter than others. On that note, if you don’t want your origin to have perfect water vision, make sure you take away the night vision while they’re in water… like y’all can literally copy the feline code for the PERFECT night vision power and somehow every single night vision origin I see is so wrong. Like man.

+ the full night vision is just aesthetically not it lmao. Coming from someone who LOVES blasting my eyes with bright colors and spent much of my early minecraft years chugging night vision potions every possible second even in the nether. It doesn’t bother me much but I KNOW it’s gotta bother others. Make it subtle or at least not overbearing.

#origins mod #reminder: you can do whatever you want with your origins. this is just because I’m assuming ppl who do this might not be doing it #intentionally? like they just go ‘oh I’ll give them proper night vision’ without realizing the consequences.#and you can do full night vision well I mean I gave an example of a time *I* used it #another tip is to make sure ur powers WORK together yknow. I’m gonna tell u about an origin that kind of prompted this #the enigma. really cool origin and I loove playing it!!!! but I was the one who got the creator to add night vision #cuz for SOME REASON the origin that DIES IN THE LIGHT couldn’t see in the dark. literally squinting just to live man 😭#so the creator heard my complaints and added night vision and I’m like ‘yippee!’ awesome that they listen yknow #and NOW is where my tip in the post comes in. cuz guess what. it was full night vision.#like I get that I live in the dark so I should see in it perfectly. but when I ALSO have to AVOID LIGHT. do u see the problem #like I can no longer look at an area and judge how bright it is to see if I’ll live cuz EVERYTHING IS BRIGHT #now disclaimer I KNOW. there is a difference in natural light and night vision light (another aesthetic thing I dislike)#but it’s a lot less easy to understand and notice yknow?#also an enigma problem with full night vision I fly straight into underground lava pockets cuz I don’t realize it’s bright cuz of lava #I just assume it’s my night vision but no. it’s lava.#none of this probably makes sense unless you’ve played the origin yourself. I think it got updated tho? and it seems quite different…#but idk I only briefly looked at the new code. not the actual in game origin.
