JakeCCz' Skill Points Addon
So a cool concept that isn't really talked about much is the concept of skill points. Skill points are the points allocated to the player, often when gaining a level, to purchase abilities on the Skill Tree. A skill tree is a hierarchical system in video games that allows players to customize their characters by unlocking new abilities and enhancing existing ones.
so...
What if Minecraft had them then?
This would be a significant overhaul to how the enchantment and leveling system currently works in Minecraft. It will make players feel more rewarded for the levels they gained and would allow for new players to try out cool skills in the early game, making the game easier and more engaging to play. It's basically a one fix all for the Smithing Table and the Inventory Problem as mojang could push certain effects into this menu, giving players a choice to unlock it once they reach a certain level.
Features
- Skill Points & Skill Tree
The addon works in a very straight forward manner. Once a player in the world reaches an EXP Level of a multiple of ten. (eg. lvl 10, lvl 20, lvl 30;) They will be prompted with a menu with a list of various skills that you can spend your skill point on to gain a permeant amplifier effect.
- Stackablility
All skills are stackable and can be picked multiple times to amplify the effect. For the lols there is no limit to how many times you can stack an effect. You can quite literally get to strength 255 and one-tap everything.
- Customization (v1.2 and later)
Using the command /function skillpoints_config, you can modify the addon's features to your liking via the config GUI. Some of these modifications may include; blacklisting skills, blacklisting players, from accessing their Skill Tree, modifying the level caps for skill upgrades and keeping skills after death.
- Skills
What would a skill points addon be without it's skills? This addon provides players with a variety of interesting and unique skills to choose from. When accessing the skill tree you are able to select either a custom skills or any in-game status buff that will unlock a unique set of mechanics for the player to interact with. A list of the custom skills present in this addon are featured below.

Showcase
This is what the Skill Points menu looks like. You're able to select any available skills shown to gain a permanent amplifier of that effect. These effects also stack (which means the more time you select them the more amplified the effect becomes. Also accessible via the command /function skillpoints_skillsmenu.
Once a skill is chosen, a message is displayed in chat letting all the players know what skill would have been chosen and what level the player was at.
There is also a config menu in this addon accessible via the command /function skillpoints_config. It allows to you to change various aspects of the addon in real-time. For instance, toggling on the keepSkillsOnDeath gamerule will allow you to keep your skills after death.
Technical Details (Map Maker Tools)
As of update v2.1, this addon adds commands which allow for easy Map Creation, Server Moderation and Fun Creative Mode Freedom, using this addon. As such, a command block cheat sheet has been added directly into the addon's directory in a text file called "CommandDocs.txt" to help creators easily follow and use the commands this addon provides.
It contains a list of all commands, descriptions and a list of all skill ids used in this addon.
