Pixie Sprites✨

Tiny fae that fly using pixie dust, each sprite has unique properties. They all share a love for freedom, and a penchant for mischief. If you're lucky, one might land on your head....

---

These are strong, mobility-centric origins with high early game drawbacks. They likely will out-scale vanilla origins, so be aware.

Thanks to @Neville, fishman of Stinky SMP for their testing and feedback! And thanks to @AlexTheGreat625 for their excitement surrounding this project!
