When playing the Origins mod as a Merling, ever got a bit lonely? No other people living in the water with you? Well, this aims to fix that! Enter:
\n# **WOODMUNCHER**

**IMPACT:** \ud83d\udfe2\u26ab\u26ab<\/p>\n
(=) **Dam and Lodge:**
\n> You can only sleep when near lots of water and under a ceiling at a maximum of 2 blocks above the ground and can slowly and exhaustingly phase through natural tree matter if near water (toggleable). You have longer breath underwater if near enough logs.<\/p>\n
(=) **Iron Incisor:**
\n> You can eat unstripped logs and turn them into stripped logs when doing so, but you can’t eat any meat and food sources besides logs and dried kelp are much less filling.<\/p>\n

\n> You can break blocks normally underwater, can see better underwater and swim faster underwater. <\/p>\n
(+) **Strength:**
\n> You have access to an additional 9 slots of inventory.<\/p>\n
(=) **Short Stature:**
\n> You’re 1 and a half blocks tall but only have 7 hearts.<\/p>\n
This origin is designed to encourage and help with building in water with lots of logs. If you like a more sedentary playstyle, water and building, this is is for you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
