Runic Races
A flagship Origins add-on for the Runecraft modpack. 37 deeply designed races across 7 families, each with exactly one active ability, one passive strength, and one weakness — plus environmental interactions and deep integration with Runecraft's mod ecosystem. Pick a family first, then a race within it. With Pehkui installed, each race also has its own height (0.45–1.30), clustered by family so a party reads at a glance.

Installation
- Requires Origins Forge (1.10.0.9+) installed in the modpack
- Drop
runic_races-1.1.0.jarinto themods/folder - Remove the old KubeJS Runic Races datapack if present (
kubejs/data/runic_races/) - Existing players with preserved race names will keep their selection
Configuration
Config files are generated in config/runic_races/:
runic_races-server.toml— Integration toggles, resource gating posture (failClosedWhenResourceModMissingdefaults to true for predictable standalone play; flip tofalseinside a pack that guarantees Iron's Spellbooks / Feather's are present).runic_races-client.toml— Racial HUD (anchor, offset, scale, opacity, minimal mode, ability names, ready glow), ambient state effects (passive state particles, screen cues), and state-rune pulse.runic_races-common.toml— Debug logging;disableDefaultOriginLayer(see Origins Compatibility below).
Origins Compatibility
By default Runic Races shows only its two-layer Family → Race selection and hides the
vanilla origins:origin layer — which is where most other Origins add-ons register their
origins, so they don't appear.
Let other origin mods coexist
Set disableDefaultOriginLayer = false in runic_races-common.toml. Other add-ons' origins
then reappear as the standard Origins screen alongside Family/Race. This is shipped as a built-in
datapack toggled by the config, so the change is read at world load — quit to title and rejoin
(or restart the server) for it to take effect; /reload alone won't pick it up.
Add origins into a Runic Races family
Origins merges layer membership across datapacks, so a datapack can append origins (from any mod,
or your own) into a family's race list with "replace": false. See the ready-to-edit template at
examples/datapacks/runic_races_extra_races/.
Note: an injected foreign origin keeps its own powers but isn't treated as a native race (no Runic
Races HUD/notifications/scale/Curios slots).
Keybinds
Runic Races adds a Runic Races category to the vanilla Controls screen:
- Flap Wings (unbound by default) — while gliding, press to flap upward.
- Fold Wings (unbound by default) — while gliding, press to cancel the glide.
If you leave both unbound, the legacy fallback stays active: while gliding, press Jump to flap and double-tap Jump within 4 ticks to fold your wings.
Commands
/runicraces info [player]— Show selected race/runicraces list— List all 37 races by family/runicraces debug— Show current attribute values
Design Philosophy
- Race = what you ARE (permanent identity, not progression)
- Racial traits are static and don't scale — prevents competing with Skills/Gods
- Drawbacks pass the "of course" test — every penalty is narratively justified
- Integration through affinity, not gating — race makes paths easier, never blocks them
- Every race changes how you play, not just how well you play
Building
# Place the compile-only dependency jars in Dependencies/ (gitignored), then:
./gradlew build
# Output: build/libs/runic_races-1.1.0.jar
Required: origins-forge, apoli-forge, calio-forge. Apoli and Calio ship inside
the Origins -all jar under META-INF/jarjar/ — extract them:
unzip -o -j Dependencies/origins-forge-*-all.jar 'META-INF/jarjar/apoli-forge-*.jar' 'META-INF/jarjar/calio-forge-*.jar' -d Dependencies/.
Optional (only needed to compile their integration classes): ars_nouveau, irons_spellbooks,
curios (local jars from Modrinth). Apotheosis, Pehkui, and Feathers resolve from
Maven automatically (CurseMaven / Modrinth) — no local jar needed.

Changelog
All notable changes to Runic Races are documented here. The format is based on Keep a Changelog.
[1.1.0] — 2026-06-15 — Audit Hardening & Build Fixes
A focused follow-up to the 1.0.0 overhaul: a full project audit pass plus the fixes it surfaced. No gameplay or roster changes — every race, power, height, and balance value is unchanged.
Fixed
- Resource gating no longer fails open on API drift. When Iron's Spellbooks (mana) or
Feather's Mod (stamina) is installed but its API call throws at runtime,
ManaHelper/StaminaHelpernow honorfailClosedWhenResourceModMissinginstead of always reporting "unlimited" (and log a single warning). Previously a version mismatch could silently hand out free mana-/stamina-gated abilities. - Trap auto-cleanup gate.
TrapMarkerBlockEntityused a broken bitmask (& 19) where a once-per-second check was intended; replaced with% 20. - Startup log accuracy. Common setup now logs the real race/family counts (from
RaceRegistry) instead of a hardcoded "24 races".
Changed
- Build: Apotheosis now resolves via CurseMaven (
curse.maven:apotheosis-313970:6461960), so a clean checkout compiles without a local Apotheosis jar. - Repo hygiene: removed committed decompiled dependency
.classfiles (/io/,Dependencies/io/) from version control and added them to.gitignore.
Docs
- Version bumped to 1.1.0 across
gradle.properties,README.md,CLAUDE.md, and the CurseForge description; corrected the README build note (Apotheosis/Pehkui/Feathers all resolve from Maven automatically).
[1.0.0] — 2026-06-15 — The Great Overhaul
A complete, from-scratch replacement of the entire race roster. Every race is new, and each is built on a single consistent contract: one active ability, one passive strength, and one weakness, balanced to net ≈ 0.
Added
- 7 families, 37 races (replacing the old 6 families / 24 races):
- Human — Primian, Celeron, Magi, Valen
- Elven — High Elf, Dark Elf, Moon Elf, Blood Elf, Ice Elf
- Dwarven — Deep One, Forge One, Frost One, Iron One, Sky One, Runic One
- Bestial — Arachnid, Avian, Canine, Feline, Kitsune, Serpen
- Faeborne — Changeling, Dryad, Sprite, Nymph, Faerie
- Undead — Zombie, Skeleton, Wraith, Demon, Reaper
- Draconic — Fire Drake, Ice Drake, Sea Serpen, Terra Drake, Volt Drake, Wind Wyrm
- Elemental breath weapons:
ConeBreathActiongained a 6-element parameter (fire / frost / water / earth / shock / wind), powering all six drakes with distinct rider effects (ignite, freeze, drown-slow, mining-fatigue, stun, levitation-knockback). - New signature moments (SFX + VFX + banner + screen cue): Reaper revival, Wraith Phase, Demon Wrath, Feline Nine Lives, Forge Blessing, Rune of Warding, Faerie Glamour, the six drake breaths, and wing-flap cues for Sprite / Faerie / Avian / Wind Wyrm.
- Flight: new
FAERIE_WINGSandAVIAN_WINGS; flap-flight for Sprite, Faerie, Avian, and Wind Wyrm; gliding wings for the four elemental drakes. - Faeborne family accent (teal) added as the 7th HUD color.
- 37 race icons sourced from the design art, plus per-race origins, powers, and a full localization pass; family icons reuse their first race's icon.
- Per-race Pehkui heights for all 37 races, clustered by family so a party reads at a
glance: tiny fae (Sprite/Faerie 0.45–0.50), short stocky dwarves (0.68–0.74), tall lithe
elves (1.04–1.08), looming undead (Demon 1.20, Reaper 1.10), and large drakes
(up to Terra Drake 1.30). Range 0.45–1.30, applied via the registry-driven
race_scaletype. tools/static generators (generate_races.py,generate_icons.py,build_lang.py) that emit the committed data/icons/lang.
Changed
- Family taxonomy:
mortal/fae/beast/underfolk/dragon/cursed→human/elven/dwarven/bestial/faeborne/undead/draconic. - Curios slot grants by family: Elven +necklace, Dwarven +belt, Faeborne +ring, Undead +charm.
- Integrations re-pointed to the new roster: Ars Nouveau mana/cost, Iron's Spellbooks spell damage, Curios slots, Apotheosis luck, Pehkui scaling, Feathers stamina.
- Banners standardized on the localized
runic_races:show_banner/signature_presentationpath; particle counts follow the Minor/Major/Mythic VFX tiers. BALANCE.md,README.md, andCLAUDE.mdrewritten for the new roster.
Removed
- All 24 previous races and their powers (Human, Halfling, Nomad, Giant-Blooded, Wood Elf, Wolfkin, Dragonborn, Catfolk, Minotaur, Serpentfolk, Mountain/Deep Dwarf, Goblin, Troll, Kobold, Wyvern-Blooded, Elder Drake, Vampire, Lycanthrope, Revenant, …) and the 6 old families.
- Runic Skills and Spells 'n Gods (Runic Gods) integrations dropped entirely — both removed as dependencies, along with their config toggles and the features they provided.
Migration
- Players on a removed origin will be prompted to re-select a family and race on next load. Orphaned per-race NBT is harmless. No automatic old→new remap is provided.
Earlier development
Pre-1.0 iterations (numbering was non-linear during development):
- 0.10.0 — Family/race two-layer selection, HUD fixes, and Origins Forge compatibility.
