RPG Skills

Turn survival into an RPG: 9 skills, 60 perks and sneak-activated abilities. Mine, fight, fish and farm to level up, then unlock rewards up to netherite. Just type /rpg:skills
RPG Skills: Level Up Everything You Do in Survival
Every block you mine, mob you kill and fish you catch now makes you stronger. Nine skills. Real perks. Abilities you trigger yourself. No cheats needed.
RPG Skills adds a clean progression system on top of vanilla survival. You keep playing the way you already do. Each action earns XP in a matching skill, each level gives you a skill point, and you decide which perks to unlock. It is built for survival worlds and servers: it does not replace any vanilla item, mob or block.
Why you will like it
| Feature | What you get |
|---|---|
| 9 skills | Mining, Combat, Fishing, Farming, Woodcutting, Excavation, Archery, Defense, Athletics. Each goes to level 25. |
| Perks you choose | Every level gives 1 skill point for that skill. Spend it on perks, many with several ranks. |
| Abilities | Sneak + use the right tool to fire a power-up, with a cooldown. Deep Dive, Berserk, Lumber Rush and more. |
| Milestone rewards | Real items at levels 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 in every skill, up to netherite, totems and elytra. |

| No cheats required | Works in normal survival worlds. Every player can use the commands. |
How it works
- Play normally. Mine with a pickaxe, fight mobs, fish, farm, chop trees, dig, shoot, take hits, run and swim.
- Level up. Your skill levels up and you get a level-up message on screen.
- Spend points. Type
/rpg:skills, pick a skill, and buy perks. Changed your mind? Reset all perks for 5 vanilla XP levels and get every point back.
Tip: close the chat window after typing the command so the menu can appear.

Abilities: sneak + use to activate
Hold the right tool, sneak and use it. A message tells you when the ability is ready again.
| Ability | Tool | Effect | Cooldown |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deep Dive | Pickaxe | Haste III and Night Vision for 10 seconds | 90 s |
| Berserk | Sword | Strength II and Speed II for 8 seconds | 90 s |
| Lumber Rush | Axe | Haste III and Speed I for 10 seconds | 90 s |
| Dig Rush | Shovel | Haste III and Jump Boost II for 10 seconds | 90 s |
| Angler's Focus | Fishing rod | Your next 3 catches have double perk chances | 120 s |
| Green Thumb | Hoe | Instantly ripens crops within 4 blocks | 60 s |
Vein Miner, Timber! and Wide Dig work while you sneak and mine. Second Wind triggers by itself when your health gets low.
Milestone rewards
Reach level 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 in any skill and the reward drops straight into your inventory (or at your feet if it is full). A few examples:
- Mining 25: a netherite ingot and a diamond block
- Combat 25: a netherite ingot and a totem of undying
- Fishing 20: a trident
- Woodcutting 25: a netherite axe
- Athletics 25: an elytra and 32 firework rockets
Reach level 25 in a skill and the whole server gets a message about it.
Ranks and leaderboard
Your power level is the sum of all your skill levels. It decides your rank: Newcomer, Apprentice, Journeyman, Adept, Expert, Master, Grandmaster and finally Legend. The leaderboard keeps the top players and is stored in a scoreboard objective called rpg_power, so map makers can show it on a sidebar.

FAQ
Do I need cheats or operator rights?
No. The commands work for every player in a normal survival world.
Does each player have their own progress?
Yes. Levels, points and perks are stored per player.
Can I farm XP by placing and breaking blocks?
No. Blocks you place yourself give no XP for a while after you place them, and Creative mode gives none at all.
I picked the wrong perks. Can I undo it?
Yes. Open the menu, choose Reset, and pay 5 vanilla XP levels to get every spent point back.
Why is my tool not enough for Vein Miner?
The tool must be able to mine that ore, the same as in vanilla. Wooden tools cannot chain iron, for example. Chains also stop before your tool would break.
Good to know
- Extra drops from Vein Miner, Timber! and Wide Dig follow simple drop tables and do not use Fortune or Unbreaking.
- Bonus damage from perks never triggers more bonus damage.
- If you find a bug, please report it with your Minecraft version and what you were doing. Balance feedback on perk numbers is welcome too.
