The Place Where You Came From

A bootleg races mod for forge

Why?

I spent way too much time looking for a forge races mod and found many other people doing the same thing.

It can't be that hard, I thought, I'll do it!

How bootleg?

One of the Places is called "Ender dude" sooo...

This is my first mod, and I am very inexperienced.

Places?

The mod is called The Place Where You Came From, so the various races would be called "The Places Where You Can Come From" or Places for short.

WDYM Beta?

Basically, the mod may need a little more work to make it as polished and clean as I would like, and it hasn't yet been battle tested against every other mod.

I want to change my Place!

Use the aptly named command /changeplacewhereyoucamefromcommand

Possible Questions:

Can you port this to fabric?

lmao

Do I have to use the ridiculously long name?

Preferably, but Place instead of Place Where You Came From is also acceptable, when referring to one of the various options.

Are you taking suggestions?

I'm pretty happy with the current list and their powers, but if you come up with a new Place that fits a particular niche, let me know.

Feedback on balance is also accepted, but may not be used.

Can I use this in my pack?

Yes. The only stipulation is that you must refer to the various choices of class as Places or Places You Can Come From

Future Plans:

Make it easier to add more classes and easier for others to add classes as it would be difficult to now
